Yellow DASRI bag

Dasri bag and the standard NF X 30.501 standard

The design of the Dasri bag aims to:
- This bag must be watertight with the aim of reducing the risk of external contamination and proliferation of these germs, bacteria, viruses, etc.
- The garbage bag must guarantee a waste treatment solution in strict compliance with hygiene.
- It must ensure proper use, particularly when filling the bag by limiting the filling by printing on the bag. DASRI bags are subject to standard printing and are recognizable by their yellow color.
- The bag must respect the environment in order to be in phase with the requirements of incineration in order to limit harmful atmospheric emissions.

The DASRI bag meets design requirements:

- The dimensions of the garbage bag are standardized by the NF EN 13592 standard. This concerns the length, width and thickness. Therefore, all Dasri bags manufactured in different factories must have the same dimensional characteristics.
- The volume of a Dasri bag must have a volume less than or equal to 110 liters.
- The Dasri bag closing system closes with a sliding tie, which is certainly more expensive than a classic tie but which allows the bag to be closed hermetically, securely and, above all, easily for the nursing staff.
- The color of the bag is also an obligation and must be uniformly “yellow”.
- The filling limit of the garbage bag is indicated on the visible printed side of the bag by a line to avoid any misuse, overfilling, failure to close the bag.

The yellow Dasri bag in detail

Dasri bag, the characteristics:

- The Dasri bag is manufactured according to specifications concerning the constituent raw materials .
- The dimensions of the half-perimeter and the length of the bag are standardized and cannot differ from one manufacturer to another.
- The nominal thickness in µm of the bag must meet the requirements of sealing and resistance for the reasons mentioned above.
- The type must also be specified with or without bellows, star welding, etc.
- The method of closing the bag must be specified, knowing that the sliding link remains the safest solution in terms of use. No risk of loss or breakage of the link
- the reference to this Standard.

Dasri infectious waste: what you need to know

If you are the producer of infectious waste such as Dasri, you must comply with one of the obligations concerning the disposal of this waste.
It all starts with setting up an effective sorting system that must correspond to simple criteria.
A simplicity that must reduce constraints for staff to a minimum. Sorting that is too complex will have a strong chance of not being implemented.
Safety must be ensured with a method avoiding any risk of mixing with other household waste, for example.
The chosen solution must be stable over time in order to avoid any errors linked to a change in the process that would not have been perceived by the agents.

What waste is there in this sector?
All sharp, pointed waste that has or has not been in contact with biological chemicals is targeted.
