What is ISO 26825 about?

ISO 26825 discusses user-applied labels for syringes containing drugs used during anaesthesia for anaesthetic and respiratory equipment. ISO 26825 gives requirements for labels attached to syringes so that the contents can be identified just before use during anaesthesia. It covers the colour, size, design and general properties of the label and the typographical characteristics of the wording for the drug name. The background colours and designs shall be as specified in Table 1. The background colour shall not be so dark as to interfere with the legibility of any additional information that is written on the label using a black ball-point pen. Note: National or regional regulations might require additional labelling, which can include barcoding. No requirements for this additional labelling are given.
