HJ 421-2008Standard of packaging bags, containers and warning symbols specific to medical waste (English PDF)

Foreword

To combat environmental pollution in the medical waste collection, temporary storage, transport and disposal, to prevent the spread of disease, Protection of human health, according to the "Medical Waste Management Regulations", the development of this standard.

This standard specifies the special medical waste bags, tool boxes and totes (barrels) of technical requirements and the corresponding test Test methods and inspection rules, and provides medical waste warning signs.

This standard since the date instead of "special medical waste packaging, container standards and provisions of Warning Labels" (UNCED implementation [2003] No. 188). And "special medical waste packaging, container standards and provisions of Warning Labels" (UNCED [2003] No. 188) Compared main changes are as follows.

- Chapter 1 of this standard defines the scope of the standard, Chapter 2, an increase of normative references, Chapter 3 by Plus the related terms and definitions;

- Bags are no longer set specific technical requirements for the thickness of the bag;

- Physical and mechanical properties of the technical requirements of the bag added drop test and leak test indicators;

- Supplement increased bags, test methods and inspection rules totes physical and mechanical properties of detection.

In accordance with the law, this standard shall be enforceable.

This standard was proposed by the State Environmental Protection Administration of Science, Technology and the Ministry of Health, Medical Administration.

Drafted. SEPA Environmental Standards Institute.

This standard SEPA February 27, 2008 for approval.

This standard since April 1, 2008 implementation.

This standard by the State Environmental Protection Administration in conjunction with the Ministry of Health explained.
