Introduction
This document provides general requirements for the identification and labelling of a medical device or
accessory that appears on the packaging, is marked on the medical device or accessory and is contained in
the accompanying information. The aim of this document is to serve as a central source of these common,
generally applicable requirements, allowing each specific product standard or group standard to focus more
concisely on the unique requirements for a specific medical device or group of medical devices.
The requirements of a medical device product standard or a group standard can make use of these general
requirements to simplify those documents. Additional specific product information requirements can be set
out in specific product standards or group standards. Unless specified otherwise within a product standard or
a group standard, the general requirements of this document apply.
This document has been prepared in consideration of:
— the application of Essential Principles of Safety and Performance of Medical Devices and IVD Medical Devices,
[24]
IMDRF/GRRP WG/N47:2024 on the information supplied by the manufacturer of a medical device (see
Annex D);
— the application of Labelling Principles for Medical Devices and IVD Medical Devices, IMDRF/GRRP WG/
[25]
N52:2024 on the information supplied by the manufacturer of a medical device (see Annex D);
This document is organized in a structured manner. Clause 4 contains general process requirements.
Clause 5 contains the information that needs to be established to support creating the information supplied
by the manufacturer such as units of measurements, how to identify languages and countries and how to
express dates and addresses. It also contains the requirements regarding the identification of medical
devices and accessories, such as items like a catalogue number, unique identification of software version,
production control identifier, a consistent indication of use/reuse and sterilization state. Clause 6 contains
the requirements for the accompanying information of medical devices and accessories. This includes the
requirements for the packaging, the label and marking of medical devices and accessories, as well as the
instructions for use and technical description.
In this document, the conjunctive “or” is used as an “inclusive or” so a statement is true if any combination of
the conditions is true.
In this document, the following verbal forms are used:
— “shall” indicates a requirement;
— “should” indicates a recommendation;
— “may” indicates a permission;
— “can” indicates a possibility or a capability.
Requirements in this document have been decomposed so that each requirement is uniquely delineated.
This is done to support automated requirements tracking.

Introduction
This document provides general requirements for the identification and labelling of a medical device or
accessory that appears on the packaging, is marked on the medical device or accessory and is contained in the
accompanying information. The aim of this document is to serve as a central source of these common, generally
applicable requirements, allowing each specific product standard or group standard to focus more concisely
on the unique requirements for a specific medical device or group of medical devices.
The requirements of a medical device product standard or a group standard can make use of these general
requirements to simplify those documents. Additional specific product information requirements can be set
out in specific product standards or group standards. Unless specified otherwise within a product standard or
a group standard, the general requirements of this document apply.
This document has been prepared in consideration of:
— — the application of Essential Principles of Safety and Performance of Medical Devices and IVD Medical
[24[22]]
Devices, IMDRF/GRRP WG/N47:2024 on the information supplied by the manufacturer of a medical
device (see Annex DAnnex D););
— — the application of Labelling Principles for Medical Devices and IVD Medical Devices, IMDRF/GRRP
[25[23]]
WG/N52:2024 on the information supplied by the manufacturer of a medical device (see
Annex DAnnex D););
This document is organized in a structured manner. Clause 4Clause 4 contains general process requirements.
Clause 5Clause 5 contains the information that needs to be established to support creating the information
supplied by the manufacturer such as units of measurements, how to identify languages and countries and how
to express dates and addresses. It also contains the requirements regarding the identification of medical
devices and accessories, such as items like a catalogue number, unique identification of software version,
production control identifier, a consistent indication of use/reuse and sterilization state. Clause 6Clause 6
contains the requirements for the accompanying information of medical devices and accessories. This includes
the requirements for the packaging, the label and marking of medical devices and accessories, as well as the
instructions for use and technical description.
In this document, the conjunctive “or” is used as an “inclusive or” so a statement is true if any combination of
the conditions is true.
In this document, the following verbal forms are used:
— — “shall” indicates a requirement;
— — “should” indicates a recommendation;
— — “may” indicates a permission;
— — “can” indicates a possibility or a capability.
Requirements in this document have been decomposed so that each requirement is uniquely delineated. This
is done to support automated requirements tracking.

Introduction
Le présent document spécifie les exigences générales concernant l'identification et l'étiquetage d'un
dispositif médical ou d'un accessoire qui figurent sur l'emballage, qui sont marqués sur le dispositif médical
ou l'accessoire et sont donnés dans les informations d'accompagnement. L'objectif du présent document est
de servir de source centrale pour ces exigences génériques communes applicables, en permettant à chaque
norme de produit ou norme de groupe spécifique de se concentrer de manière plus précise sur les exigences
uniques applicables à un dispositif médical spécifique ou à un ensemble de dispositifs médicaux.
Les exigences d'une norme de produit ou d'une norme de groupe relative à un dispositif médical peuvent
s'appuyer sur ces exigences générales afin de simplifier ces documents. D'autres exigences spécifiques en
matière d'informations sur les produits peuvent être définies dans des normes de produits ou des normes
de groupes spécifiques. Sauf spécification contraire dans une norme de produit ou une norme de groupe, les
