CSA Preface This is the first edition of CSA ISO 23328-2, Breathing system filters for anaesthetic and respiratory use — Part 2: Non-filtration aspects , which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 23328-2 (first edition, 2002-10). The original designation of this Standard was CAN/CSA-Z23328-2-03. The designation has been corrected to read "CSA ISO 23328-2:03" throughout. For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CSA ISO 23328-2" throughout. 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 Care Technology, 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 part of ISO 23328 specifies requirements for non-filtration aspects of breathing system filters (BSF) intended for anaesthetic and respiratory use, and addresses connection ports, leakage, resistance to flow, packaging, marking and information supplied. The test method is intended for BSF used with a clinical breathing system. It is not applicable to other types of filter, e.g. those designed to protect vacuum sources or gas sample lines, to filter compressed gases, or to protect test equipment for physiological respiratory measurements. NOTE A method for assessing filtration performance of BSF is given in ISO 23328-1.
