Specifies requirements for conical fittings with a 6 percent (Luer) taper for use with hypodermic syringes and needles with certain other apparatus for medical use such as transfusion and infusion sets. It covers conical fittings made of rigid and semi-rigid materials and includes test methods for gauging and performance. The Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from ISO 594-1:1986.

This part of ISO 594 specifies requirements for conical fittings with a 6% (Luer) taper for use with hypodermic syringes and needles and with certain other apparatus for medical use such as transfusion and infusion sets.It covers conical fittings made of rigid and of semi-rigid materials and includes test methods for gauging and performance. It excludes provision for more flexible or elastomeric materials.Figure 1 illustrates typical male 6% (Luer) conical fitting ("male fitting") and female 6% (Luer) conical fitting ("female fitting").
