General Information

Overview
EN 1060-2:1995/FprA1 is the CEN draft amendment addressing supplementary requirements for mechanical non-invasive sphygmomanometers. Prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 205, this amendment updates references and specific marking and documentation obligations for mechanical blood pressure devices. The document is issued as a final draft (FprA1) and, while distributed for review, is subject to change until formally accepted and published.
This part of the EN 1060 series complements the general requirements in Part 1 and sits alongside Part 3 (electro-mechanical systems) and Part 4 (system accuracy test procedures) as part of the European framework for non-invasive blood pressure measurement devices.
Key Topics
- Reference updates: Clause 2 replaces the referenced standard for symbols with EN 980:2008, Symbols for use in the labelling of medical devices.
- Marking and labelling: Modifications to Clauses 9.2 and 9.3 clarify which items of Part 1 apply and add a specific marking requirement for mercury manometers: the symbol for "CAUTION" per EN 980:2008.
- Annex ZA (Regulatory link): The amendment replaces Annex ZA to define the relationship between EN 1060-2 and the Essential Requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC on medical devices, indicating which clauses provide a presumption of conformity with the Directive.
- Bibliography: The amendment adds a bibliography entry, notably EN 1041, Information supplied by the manufacturer of medical devices.
Applications
This amendment is relevant to:
- Manufacturers and designers of mechanical sphygmomanometers seeking to align products with current European labelling and regulatory mapping.
- Regulatory and conformity assessment teams assessing device compliance with Directive 93/42/EEC (medical devices) using referenced EN clauses.
- Technical writers and labeling specialists implementing EN 980 symbols and manufacturer information per EN 1041.
Practical benefits include clearer marking rules (important for user safety and risk reduction), an updated symbol reference to harmonized labelling practice, and explicit mapping to essential regulatory requirements that supports CE conformity assessments.
Related Standards
- EN 1060-1 - General requirements for non-invasive sphygmomanometers (referenced throughout).
- EN 1060-3 / EN 1060-4 - Complementary parts covering electro-mechanical systems and test procedures.
- EN 980:2008 - Symbols for labelling of medical devices (updated reference in this amendment).
- EN 1041 - Information supplied by the manufacturer of medical devices (added to bibliography).
Note: This draft amendment is distributed for review and shall not be regarded as the final European Standard until formally adopted. Always consult the latest published national implementation for definitive requirements.
