Smarter Healthcare: The Story Behind ISO 23907-2: The Development of ISO 23907-2

Welcome to our Smarter Healthcare series exploring the story behind ISO 23907-2 — the global standard for reusable sharps containers. In this series, we’re joined by Neil Robinson, Strategic Consultant to Sharpsmart and the UK’s representative on the ISO 23907 committee. Across these sessions, Neil unpacks the why behind the standard and what it means for healthcare worker safety. Part 2: The Development of ISO 23907-2 Until relatively recently, there was no formal global standard specific to reusable sharps containers – only for single-use ones. That left a significant gap in safety, consistency, and accountability. ISO 23907-2 was created to close that gap. And importantly, it wasn’t written in isolation – it was shaped by people like Neil, who understands the real-world use and risks of these systems. With 35 years of experience working alongside clinical teams and frontline workers, Neil has seen firsthand the negative impacts of the knock-on effects of subpar systems that result in sharps injuries.
