ISO 80369-1 attempts to ensure that luers intended for different medical materials and different geometries are incompatible and cannot be accidentally connected. The test is aimed at ensuring that incompatible luers will NOT connect together. Axial motion is used to try to connect luer with a max force not to exceed 70N. Then the test machine must apply a load at a rate of 10N/sec. Then torque not exceeding 0.12 N-m for no more than 90 degrees is applied counterclockwise. Next, the maximum axial force and max torque is held at least 10 sec. Then the connection is disengaged with an axial force less than .02N. This test requires a small test machine capable of combined axial and torsional motion and loading.
