ISO 5361:2016为气管和鼻气管和气管插管提供了基本的性能和安全要求。具有用金属或尼龙增强的气管管，具有肩部的气管管，锥形气管管，具有吸入，监测或递送药物或其它气体的气管的气管，以及针对专门应用设计的许多其它类型的气管管。本国际标准，现在常用的许多专用气管，并且都符合本国际标准中定义的类似基本要求。 支气管支气管（包括气管支气管）管，气管造口管和上喉气道不包括在ISO 5361:2016的范围内。 旨在与易燃麻醉气体或药剂，激光或电外科设备一起使用的气管不在ISO 5361:2016的范围内

ISO 5361:2016 provides essential performance and safety requirements for oro-tracheal and naso-tracheal tubes and tracheal tube connectors. Tracheal tubes with walls reinforced with metal or nylon, tracheal tubes with shoulders, tapered tracheal tubes, tracheal tubes with means for suctioning, monitoring or delivery of drugs or other gases, and the many other types of tracheal tubes devised for specialized applications are included in this International Standard, as many specialized tracheal tubes are now commonly used, and all share similar essential requirements as defined in this International Standard. Endobronchial (including tracheobronchial) tubes, tracheostomy tubes, and supralaryngeal airways are excluded from the scope of ISO 5361:2016. Tracheal tubes intended for use with flammable anaesthetic gases or agents, lasers, or electrosurgical equipment are outside the scope of ISO 5361:2016.
