This International Standard establishes a colour code for the identification of hypodermic needles for single use, the hubs of which are made of plastics material.
This International Standard can also be used for a needle the hub of which is made of other materials.
The colour coding is equally applicable to thin-walled needles.
In all cases the colour indicates the external diameter.
