This standard is developed in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009 Directives for standardization - Part 1: Structure and drafting of standards.
This standard replaces YY/T 0243-2003 Plunger of sterile syringes for single use.
The following main technical changes have been made with respect to YY/T 0243-2003:
——The "Annex A (informative) Material guidelines" is added, and the biological evaluation requirements are modified;
——The requirements for ultraviolet absorbance are added;
——The ash requirements are added;
——The test method of discoloration is modified;
——The "Annex C (informative) Test method for permanent compression rate of plungers" is added.
——The amount of leachate in preparation of plunger seal's test solution in Annex D is modified.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some content of this document may involve patents. The issuing body of this document shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This standard was proposed by China Food and Drug Administration.
This standard is under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee on Medical Syringe (Needle) of Standardization Administration of China.
The previous editions of this standard are as follows:

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. See Figure 1 for the terminology for each part of the plunger seal.
1—fiducial line; 2—seal line; 3—trim line
Note: This schematic diagram only illustrates the structure of the plunger seal and is not the only type specified in the standard.
Figure 1 Plunger seal of syringes for single use
3.1
fiducial line
external tangent line at the end of the plunger seal, used to determine the corresponding volume for any scale reading on the syringe
3.2
seal line
external tangent line at the side of the plunger seal, which cooperates with the syringe barrel to achieve sealing
3.3
trim line
external tangent line at the front end of the plunger seal, designed for trimming during the manufacturing process
4 Classification and marking
4.1 Classification
The plunger seals are classified into natural rubber plunger seals and synthetic rubber plunger seals according to manufacturing materials. Note: Guidelines for materials are given in Annex A.
4.2 Marking
The plunger seal is marked according to the matching syringe capacity, such as 0.3 mL, 0.5 mL, 1 mL, 2 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL, 20 mL, 30 mL, 50 mL, 100 mL, etc.
