Applications and Industry Relevance
The syringe liquid leak test applies to manufacturers of:
- Hypodermic syringes
- Pre-filled syringes
- Medical injection systems
- Quality inspection and regulatory testing labs
By incorporating this test into quality control protocols, companies in pharmaceutical, medical device, och packaging sectors can meet international regulatory requirements and strengthen product reliability.
Importance of Syringe Liquid Leak Test
The syringe liquid leak test is essential for quality assurance in the production of sterile hypodermic syringes. A leaking syringe poses significant risks, including contamination, inaccurate dosing, and failure during administration. By conducting a controlled syringe liquid leak test, manufacturers can identify weaknesses in the syringe’s plunger stopper design and prevent defective units from reaching the market.
Test Method Based on ISO 7886-1 Annex D
ISO 7886-1 is the international standard for sterile hypodermic syringes for single use. The ISO 7886-1 testing procedure ensures the mechanical and functional performance of the syringe, including leakage resistance. Specifically, ISO 7886-1 Annex D outlines the test method for liquid leakage at the syringe plunger stopper under compression.

Specifically, ISO 7886-1 Annex D outlines the test method for liquid leakage at the syringe plunger stopper under compression.
Test Principles from ISO 7886-1 Annex D
The Annex D procedure aims to simulate worst-case conditions by combining axial and radial loads on the syringe plunger:
- The syringe is first filled with distilled water above its nominal capacity.
- After expelling air, the volume is adjusted to the nominal level.
- The nozzle is sealed using a reference conical fitting in accordance with ISO 80369-7 or an equivalent seal.
- A sideways force (0.25 N to 3 N) is applied to the plunger to induce deflection.
- Axial pressure is generated in the range of 200–300 kPa and maintained for 30–35 seconds.
- Any leakage past the plunger stopper is examined visually.
This methodology ensures that the plunger stopper maintains a tight seal under pressure and lateral stress, replicating real-world conditions that could cause failure.
Equipment Requirements for ISO 7886-1 Annex D Testing
To perform the syringe liquid leak test accurately, the following equipment is required:
- A sealing device for the syringe nozzle.
- A fixture for applying radial force to the plunger.
- A pressurization device to reach 200–300 kPa.
- Distilled water (18°C to 28°C) for the filling process.
