Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part
2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 21535 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 150, Implants for surgery, Subcommittee SC 4,
Bone and joint replacements.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 21535:2007), which has been technically
revised.

Introduction
There are three levels of standards dealing with non-active surgical implants.
These are as follows, with level 1 being the highest:
— level 1: general requirements for non-active surgical implants and instrumentation used in
association with implants;
— level 2: particular requirements for families of non-active surgical implants;
— level 3: specific requirements for types of non-active surgical implant.
This standard is a level 3 standard and contains requirements applying specifically to hip joint
replacements.
The level 1 standard, ISO 14630, contains requirements that apply to all non-active surgical implants. It
also indicates that there are additional requirements in the level 2 and level 3 standards.
The level 2 standards apply to more restricted sets or families of implants such as those designed for
use in osteosynthesis, cardiovascular surgery or joint replacement. For joint replacement implants the
level 2 standard is ISO 21534.
To address all requirements, it is recommended that a standard of the lowest available level be consulted
first.

Non-active surgical implants — Joint replacement implants
— Specific requirements for hip-joint replacement
implants
1 Scope
This document provides specific requirements for hip joint replacement implants. With regard to
safety, this document specifies requirements for intended performance, design attributes, materials,
design evaluation, manufacture, sterilization, packaging, information supplied by the manufacturer,
and methods of test.
This document applies to both total and partial hip joint replacement implants. It applies to components
made of metallic and non-metallic materials.
This document applies to a wide variety of hip replacement implants, but for some specific hip
replacement implant types, some considerations, not specifically covered in this document, may be
applicable. Further details are given in Clause 7.2.1.1.
The requirements which are specified in this document are not intended to require the re-design or
re-testing of devices which have been legally marketed and for which there is a history of sufficient and
safe clinical use. For such devices compliance with this document shall be demonstrated by providing
evidence of the sufficient and safe clinical use.
