This part of ISO 8670 specifies a method of deter-mining the freedom from leakage of water from ostomy collection bags. The method tests for leakage from joints and seams, for leakage through the film of which the bag is constructed, for leakage from junctions between the parts of multiple piece systems and for leakage from urostomy drain clos-ures.
The method does not test for leakage from the clos-ure system of open-ended bags, from vents, filters, vent or filter plugs, or from the interface between the patient's skin and the appliance. Nor is leakage from capillary action through microporous tape, if used, regarded as leakage in this test.
NOTE 1 Other methods for leakage detection will examine aspects other than those covered by this part of ISO 8670.
