A method for securing a cartridge (4) to a body (2) for a drug delivery device (1 ) is provided comprising the step of securing the cartridge (4) to the body (2) by means of a releasable connection (7) to prevent accidental relative movement between the cartridge (4) and the body (2) during assembly of the device (1 ). Afterwards, the releasable connection (7) is modified irreversably into a non-releasable connection such that the cartridge (4) is permanently secured to the body (2). Furthermore, an assembly for a drug delivery device (1 ) is provided comprising a cartridge (4), a body (2), a first connection means (9) and a second connection means. The first connection means (9) and the second connection means 17 are configured to mechanically cooperate to form a releasable connection (7). The releasable connection (7) is suitable for releasably securing the cartridge (4) to the body (2). The releasable connection (7) prevents accidental relative movement between the cartridge (4) and the body (2) during assembly of the device (1 ). The first connection means (9) and the second connection means 17 are irreversably non-releasably secured to each other. |
