General Information
Overview
Standard Reference: EN 1644-1:1997
Title: Test methods for nonwoven compresses for medical use - Part 1: Nonwovens used in the manufacture of compresses
Organization: CEN (adopted as SIST EN 1644-1:2000 in Slovenia)
EN 1644-1:1997 specifies test methods for the physical and chemical evaluation of nonwoven materials intended for use in medical compresses and wound dressings. The standard focuses on ensuring that nonwovens used as component materials meet reproducible quality and safety criteria appropriate for medical use.
Key Topics
The document centers on standardized procedures and requirements related to:
- Physical test methods for assessing nonwoven material performance (sampling, conditioning and reproducible measurement procedures)
- Chemical test methods for evaluating material composition and chemical safety attributes
- Evaluation criteria and reporting formats so manufacturers and laboratories can compare results consistently
- Scope of application clarifying that Part 1 covers nonwovens used in the manufacture of compresses for medical use
Note: EN 1644-1:1997 provides structured test-method descriptions rather than clinical performance guidance. It defines laboratory methods to evaluate material characteristics relevant to compress manufacture.
Applications
EN 1644-1 is used to:
- Validate incoming nonwoven raw materials for manufacturing medical compresses and wound dressings
- Support quality control and batch release testing in production of medical dressings
- Provide harmonized test methods for regulatory compliance and supplier specifications
- Enable comparison of material performance across suppliers and laboratories
Keywords: EN 1644-1:1997, nonwoven compresses, medical compresses, test methods, nonwovens, wound dressings, material evaluation, CEN.
Who would use this standard
- Nonwoven material manufacturers and suppliers supplying materials for medical compresses
- Medical device and wound dressing manufacturers performing incoming inspection and product development
- Testing and certification laboratories conducting physical and chemical analyses
- Regulatory, quality assurance, and procurement teams who need standardized test data for material acceptance
Related Standards
- Other parts of the EN 1644 series (this document is Part 1) and complementary CEN standards on wound dressings and medical textiles may address finished compresses, packaging, or sterilization. Users should check the broader EN catalogue and national adoptions (e.g., SIST EN 1644-1:2000) for complete conformity and application context.
For procurement, testing, or regulatory planning, EN 1644-1:1997 provides the foundational laboratory methods for assessing nonwovens used in medical compress manufacture.
