General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
ICS 11.100 is a classification code in the International Classification for Standards (ICS) system. It covers "Laboratory medicine". The ICS is a hierarchical classification system used to organize international, regional, and national standards, facilitating the search and identification of standards across different fields.
There are 897 standards classified under ICS 11.100 (Laboratory medicine). These standards are published by international and regional standardization bodies including ISO, IEC, CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI.
The International Classification for Standards (ICS) is a hierarchical classification system maintained by ISO to organize standards and related documents. It uses a three-level structure with field (2 digits), group (3 digits), and sub-group (2 digits) codes. The ICS helps users find standards by subject area and enables statistical analysis of standards development activities.

This document specifies the requirements and general principles governing the biological evaluation of medical devices within a risk management process according to ISO 14971.
This document applies to the biological evaluation of medical devices that have direct contact or indirect contact with either:
— a patient's body during intended use or reasonably foreseeable misuse; or
— the body of other users who are not patients, if the medical device is intended for personal protection (e.g. medical gloves, surgical masks).
Biological evaluation assesses the biological safety of the medical device by considering the biological risks associated with:
— constituents of a medical device; and
— tissue-device interactions (including physical effects).
The biological evaluation specified in this document can address the biological safety of the medical device, considering the life cycle from design and development through initial use of the finished medical device to final decommissioning or withdrawal from use. The biological evaluation considers both the biological safety of the finished device in first use, and the significance of any changes to the medical device which can occur throughout the life cycle. However, the evaluation of risks related to environmental impacts of decommissioning of medical devices are not within the scope of this document. This document does not mandate re-testing of medical devices that are already on the market and have established and acceptable safety profiles (see 6.6.2).
This document can be useful to support clinical or usability evaluations of medical devices. For example, a biological evaluation is a pre-requisite for conducting a clinical trial. This means that principles outlined in this document can be applied to the evaluation of prototype or development stage devices, as well as to finished medical devices.
Other parts of the ISO 10993 series cover specific aspects of biological evaluation, such as chemical characterization, biological testing, sample preparation, animal welfare and toxicological risk assessment.
For some types of medical devices, specific requirements from other standards (outside the ISO 10993 series) can be considered with a justification for the approach taken if there are differences between the requirements of the ISO 10993 series and those provided in other standards. For example, the ISO 18562 series provides specific requirements for biological evaluation of breathing gas pathway medical devices and ISO 7405 provides specific requirements for biological evaluation of dental devices.
The evaluation of risks related to infectious agents [e.g. bacteria, moulds, yeasts, viruses, transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) agents] is not within the scope of this document.
NOTE 1 The evaluation of bacterial endotoxins is addressed by ISO 11737-3.
NOTE 2 The evaluation of risks related to viruses, TSE agents and other pathogens originating from materials of animal origin is addressed by the ISO 22442 series.

This document addresses good clinical practice for the design, conduct, recording and reporting of clinical investigations carried out in
human subjects to assess the clinical performance or effectiveness and safety of medical devices.
For post-market clinical investigations, the principles set forth in this document are intended to be followed as far as relevant,
considering the nature of the clinical investigation (see AnnexI).
This document specifies general requirements intended to
- protect the rights, safety and well-being of human subjects,
- ensure the scientific conduct of the clinical investigation and the credibility of the clinical investigation results,
- define the responsibilities of the sponsor and principal investigator, and
- assist sponsors, investigators, ethics committees, regulatory authorities and other bodies involved in the conformity assessment of
medical devices.
NOTE1 Users of this document need to consider whether other standards and/or national requirements also apply to the
investigational device(s) under consideration or the clinical investigation. If differences in requirements exist, the most stringent apply.
NOTE2 For Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) demonstration of the analytical validity (the SaMD’s output is accurate for a given
input), and where appropriate, the scientific validity (the SaMD’s output is associated to the intended clinical condition/physiological
state), and clinical performance (the SaMD’s output yields a clinically meaningful association to the target use) of the SaMD, the
requirements of this document apply as far as relevant (see Reference[4]). Justifications for exemptions from this document can
consider the uniqueness of indirect contact between subjects and the SaMD.
This document does not apply to in vitro diagnostic medical devices. However, there can be situations, dependent on the device and
national or regional requirements, whereusers of this document might consider whether specific sections and/or requirements of this
document could be applicable.

This document establishes requirements for assuring quality, safety, performance and documentation of laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) as per their intended use for the diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, prevention or treatment of medical conditions.
It outlines the general principles and assessment criteria by which an LDT shall be designed, developed, characterized, manufactured, validated (analytically and clinically) and monitored for internal use by medical laboratories.
The scope includes regulatory authority approved IVD medical devices that are used in a manner differing from approved labelling or instructions for use for that device (e.g. use of a sample type not included in the intended use, use of instruments or reagents not included in the labelling).
While this document follows a current best practice and state-of-the art approach, it does not provide specific details on how to achieve these requirements within specific disciplines of the medical laboratory nor specific technology platforms.
This document does not specify requirements for examination procedures developed by research or academic laboratories developing and using testing systems for non-IVD purposes. However, the concepts presented in this document can also be useful for these laboratories.
This document does not apply to the design, development and industrial production of commercially used IVD medical devices.
