Annex ZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard the General Safety and
Performance Requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/746 aimed to be
covered
This European standard has been prepared under M/575 to provide one voluntary means of
conforming to the General Safety and Performance Requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/746 of 5
April 2017 concerning in vitro diagnostic medical devices [OJ L 117] and to system or process
requirements including those relating to quality management systems, risk management, post-market
surveillance systems, performance studies, clinical evidence or post-market performance follow-up.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Regulation,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 and application of the
edition of the normatively referenced standards as given in Table ZA.2 confers, within the limits of the
scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding General Safety and
Performance Requirements of that Regulation, and associated EFTA Regulations.
For the purpose of using this standard in support of the requirements set out in Regulation (EU)
2017/746, the definitions set out in this Regulation prevail.
This document needs to be considered together with the other parts of EN ISO 18113-series to fully
apply the concepts of this labelling standard series. EN ISO 18113-1 provides definitions and overall
concepts which may be further applied or directed to specific device format and labelling location.
Where the European standard is an adoption of an International Standard, the scope of this standard
can differ from the scope of the European Regulation that it supports. As the scope of the applicable
regulatory requirements differ from nation to nation and region to region, the standard can only
support European regulatory requirements to the extent of the scope of the In vitro Diagnostic
Regulation (EU) 2017/746.
Where the standard includes notes that require alignment to local or regional regulations, all clauses
need to be read in the context of Regulation (EU) 2017/746.
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 Regulation (EU) 2017/746. This means that risks have to be
‘reduced as far as possible’, ‘reduced to a level as low as reasonably practicable’, ‘reduced to the lowest possible
level’, ‘reduced as far as possible and appropriate’, ‘removed or reduced as far as possible’, ‘eliminated or reduced
as far as possible’, ‘prevented’ or ‘minimized’, according to the wording of the corresponding General Safety and
Performance Requirement.
NOTE 2 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with General Safety
and Performance Requirements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 of the Regulation.
NOTE 3 When a General Safety and Performance Requirement does not appear in Table ZA.1, it means that it is
not addressed by this European Standard.

ISO/DIS 18113-1:2021(E)
Introduction
Manufacturers of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices supply users with information to enable the
safe use and expected performance of their devices. Traditionally, this information has been provided
in the form of labels, package inserts and user manuals, where the type and level of detail would depend
on the intended uses and country-specific regulations.
The International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) encourages convergence of the evolution
of regulatory systems for medical devices at the global level. The goal is to facilitate trade while
preserving the right of participating members to address the protection of public health by regulatory
means. Consistent worldwide labelling requirements offer significant benefits to manufacturers, users,
patients and regulatory authorities. Eliminating differences among regulatory jurisdictions could allow
patients earlier access to new technologies and treatments by decreasing the time necessary to gain
regulatory compliance. This document provides a basis for harmonization of labelling requirements for
IVD medical devices. As per ISO 20417, the ISO 18113 series represents a group standard and, therefore,
has precedence with regards to the labelling requirements for IVDs.
The Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) now replaced by IMDRF (See Reference [49]) has
established guiding principles that apply to the labelling of medical devices and IVDs. These principles
have been incorporated into the ISO 18113 series. Of particular note, IMDRF states that country-specific
requirements for the content, wording and format of labels and instructions for use should be kept to a
minimum and eliminated over time as the opportunities arise.
This document contains a comprehensive list of terms and definitions necessary to develop the labelling
for IVD medical devices. Internationally agreed-upon definitions of important concepts promote
greater consistency in IVD medical device labelling. While the goal is to standardize the terminology
used in IVD medical device labelling to the extent possible, it is also recognized that current national
and regional usage by medical laboratories, healthcare providers, patients and regulatory authorities
must be respected.
An obstacle to the timely and affordable availability of IVD medical devices in some countries is the
requirement for information to appear in multiple languages. Wherever practical, IMDRF encourages
the use of standardized, internationally recognized symbols as long as safe use of the device is not
compromised by diminished understanding on the part of the user. This document provides support for
the use of symbols consistent with the IMDRF objectives.
IMDRF also encourages manufacturers to employ the most appropriate methods of delivering
information. Until recently, most information had been supplied as printed materials accompanying
the IVD medical device. Modern technologies enable instructions for use and technical information
to be provided using a more efficient means of delivery. Information can be digitally encoded on
magnetic or optical media, displayed on a screen, incorporated in the device, or even transmitted over
the internet at the time of use. These advances offer users the possibility of more timely availability of
critical information, such as performance changes, and offer manufacturers more effective means of
disseminating the information.
The ISO 18113 series specifies requirements for information supplied by the manufacturer of IVD
medical devices. It consists of five parts, allowing it to address the specific needs of professional users
and self-testing users in the most appropriate manner. Furthermore, since manufacturers provide
different types of information for IVD reagents and instruments, their requirements are addressed in
separate parts of the ISO 18113 series.
This document is not intended to be used alone. It contains terms, definitions and general principles
that apply to all parts of ISO 18113. While the terms and definitions in International Standards are
preferred, the terms and definitions used in the information supplied by an IVD manufacturer shall be
subject to the requirements of 4.6.2. Where synonyms are given, either term may be used but the first
term is preferred. Some definitions had to be modified for relevance to IVD labelling or to conform to
ISO terminology rules. In these cases, a source indicates that the definition has been modified and gives
the source. In some cases, additional notes or modifications to existing notes were needed to clarify the
application to IVD medical devices, and notes that did not apply to IVD medical devices were omitted.
