CEN/CLC/TC 3/WG 1 - Information supplied by the manufacture of medical device

This European Standard specifies requirements for the labelling of a medical device or parts of a medical device to indicate the presence of phthalates, when required by Annex I of Directive 93/42/EEC Section 7.5, 2nd paragraph. This specifically includes the format of a symbol to be used in the labelling. This European Standard does not specify the requirements for information to be supplied with medical devices, which are addressed by EN 980 and EN 1041.
This European Standard does not specify the requirements of the 1st and of the 3rd paragraphs of Essential Requirement 7.5.

This standard specifies requirements for information to be supplied by a manufacturer for medical devices regulated by Council Directive 90/385/EEC relating to active implantable medical devices and Council Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices. It does not specify the language to be used for such information, nor does it specify the means by which the information is to be supplied. It is also intended to complement the specific requirements of the cited EU Directives on medical devices by providing guidance on means by which certain requirements can be met. If a manufacturer follows these means, they will provide a presumption of conformity with the relevant Essential Requirements regarding information to be supplied. This standard does not cover requirements for provision of information for in vitro diagnostic medical devices, which are covered by other labelling standards (see Bibliography).
