Scope

YY/T 0242-2007 is the English-translated version of 医用输液、输血、注射器具用聚丙烯专用料.

YY/T 0242-2007 is the Chinese pharmaceutical industry standard for the polypropylene material used to make medical infusion, transfusion and injection equipment.

It divides the material into polypropylene homopolymer (PP-H) and random copolymer (PP-R) grades and sets the requirements for natural-colour granules, physical and mechanical properties such as notched Izod impact strength and melt mass-flow rate, and chemical and radiation-resistance properties, including haze for injection equipment grades, heavy metals and UV absorption.

It also gives the test methods, inspection rules, marking, packaging, transport and storage. It replaces YY 0242-1996, turning it into a recommended standard and adding the PP-R grade. Issued on 2 July 2007, it has applied since 1 March 2008.

Foreword

This Standard replaces YY 0242-1996 Polypropylene material for manufacture of infusion, transfusion and injection equipment for medical use.

Compared with YY 0242-1996, the main changes of this Standard are as follows.

- ADJUST from mandatory standard to recommended standard.

- ADD the performance requirements of the polypropylene random copolymer (PP-R) for medical use.

- DIVIDE the PP-H and PP-R materials for medical use INTO the polypropylene material for manufacture of infusion, transfusion and for injection equipment.

- REVISE the test item "Cleanliness (color granules and irregular granules)" to "Granule appearance (color granules)".

- REVISE the test item "Izod impact strength" to "Notched izod impact strength". REVISE the unit from "J/m" to "kJ/m2". Respectively REVISE the PP-H index and PP-R index to ">= 2.0kJ/m2" and ">= 3.0kJ/m2".

- For the polypropylene material for manufacture of injection equipment, REVISE the test item "Transmissivity" to "Haze". The index is less than or equal to 15%.

- REVISE the test item "Melt flow rate" to "Melt mass-flow rate". MODIFY the index to (0.8-1.2) nominal value (provided by the supplier).

- INCREASE the index of heavy metal content to 1.0µg/mL.

- ADD the "UV absorption rate".
