Specific test criteria for cytotoxic sharps containers are included.

1.4

This Standard does not apply to medical sharps containers that are intended for sharps contaminated with chemicals with no possibility for any biohazardous or cytotoxic contamination. However, for the purpose of safe management of chemically contaminated or clean sharps, this Standard may be used for reference testing and as a general guide.

1.5

This Standard does not address deliberate or accidental access to sharps within containers. This aspect of safety and security should be considered when the containers are selected for use in noncontrolled environments.
