CSA ISO 5362:26

CSA Preface This is the second edition of CSA ISO 5362, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment — Anaesthetic reservoir bags , which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 5362 (fifth edition, 2024-07). It supersedes the previous edition, published in 2014 as CSA ISO 5362 (adopted ISO 5362:2006). For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CSA ISO 5362" throughout. CSA Group acknowledges that the adoption of this Standard was made possible, in part, by the financial support of the governments of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Québec, Saskatchewan, and Yukon, as administered by Canada’s Drug Agency (CDA-AMC). This Standard was reviewed for Canadian adoption by the CSA Technical Committee on Perioperative Safety, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Health and Well-being, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. Scope This document specifies requirements for anaesthetic reservoir bags for use with anaesthetic and ventilator breathing systems. It includes requirements for the design of the neck, size designation and elasticity. This document is not applicable to special-purpose bags, for example bellows, self-inflating bags and bags for use with anaesthetic gas scavenging systems. The requirements in this device-specific standard take precedence over any conflicting requirements in the general standard for airway devices (ISO 18190). All the common requirements that appear in the general standard for airway devices have been removed from this document.
