ISO 8362-5:2016 (R2021)

ISO 8362-5:2016 specifies the shape, dimensions, material, performance requirements and labelling for the type of closure for injection vials, as described in ISO 8362-1 and ISO 8362-4, which is used in connection with the freeze drying (or lyophilization) of drugs and biological materials. The dimensional requirements are not applicable to barrier-coated closures. Closures specified in this part of ISO 8362 are intended for single use only. NOTE The potency, purity, stability and safety of a medicinal product during its manufacture and storage can be strongly affected by the nature and performance of the primary packaging.
