Annex ZZ
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard and the essential requirements
of Directive 93/42/EEC [1993 OJ L 169] aimed to be covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request M/023
concerning the development of European Standards related to medical devices to provide one
voluntary means of conforming to essential requirements of Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June
1993 concerning medical devices [1993 OJ L 160].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements
of that Directive and associated EFTA regulations.
NOTE 1 Where a reference from a clause of this standard to the risk management process is made, the risk
management process needs to be in compliance with Directive 93/42/EEC as amended by 2007/47/EC. This
means that risks have to be reduced ‘as far as possible’, ‘to a minimum’, ‘to the lowest possible level’, ‘minimized’
or ‘removed’, according to the wording of the corresponding essential requirement.
NOTE 2 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with Essential
Requirements 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the Directive.
NOTE 3 This Annex ZZ is based on normative references according to the table of references in the European
foreword, replacing the references in the core text.
NOTE 4 When an Essential Requirement does not appear in Table ZZ.1, it means that it is not addressed by
this European Standard.
Table ZZ.1 — Correspondence between this European Standard and
Annex I of Directive 93/42/EEC [1993 OJ L 169]
Clause(s)/sub-clause(s) Remarks/Notes
Essential Requirements of
of this EN
Directive 93/42/EEC
5, 6 These clauses specify requirements and
test methods to verify the immunity of
the device to radiated electromagnetic
fields from mobile phones. Design
manufacturing and packaging are not
covered.
5 Covered for the use of a hearing aid in
9.1, first sentence only
combination with a mobile phone with
regards to radiated electromagnetic
fields.
5 Covered with regards to immunity to
9.2, second indent
radiated electromagnetic fields from
mobile phones.
WARNING 1 — Presumption of conformity stays valid only as long as a reference to this European
Standard is maintained in the list published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Users of this
standard should consult frequently the latest list published in the Official Journal of the European
Union.
WARNING 2 — Other Union legislation may be applicable to the products falling within the scope of
this standard.
