This European Standard specifies the basic requirements for breathing tubes and breathing tubing supplied to be cut to length, intended for use with anaesthetic apparatus and ventilators, humidifiers and nebulizers. It also applies to breathing tubes and Y-pieces supplied already assembled and to those supplied as components and assembled in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions. Provision is made for breathing tubes having ends incorporating adaptors with conical connectors (assembled ends) or with plain ends (either cylindrical or tapered). Breathing tubes for special purposes, such as those used with ventilators having special compliance requirements and coaxial lumen tubes, are outside the scope of this European Standard. Unless specified otherwise, the requirements of this European Standard apply equally to breathing tubes intended by the manufacturer for single use and those intended for re-use.
