5、 is as follows: ISO 8601 DIN ISO 8601 Amendments This standard differs from DIN EN 868-9:2000-03 as follows: a) Changes in order to align this European Standard with the DIN EN ISO 11607 series, in particular by amending the main element of the title, the scope and the terminology; using DIN EN ISO

6、11607-1 as normative reference regarding the general requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems; deleting requirements that are covered by DIN EN ISO 11607 (such as requirements on raw materials, conditioning, quality of the material with regard to tears, creases, loca

7、lised thickening, leaching of toxic substances). b) In addition to a) first dash, the scope has been modified to: explain that other requirements might be of relevance for additional materials being used inside a sterile barrier system; clarify that the materials covered by this European Standard ar

8、e intended for single use only. c) An explanatory note has been inserted to refer the user of this European Standard to the general requirements on conditions during production and handling with respect to their impact on the product in DIN EN ISO 11607. d) Requirements on tensile strength in machin

9、e direction and on bursting strength have been amended. e) The requirement on the tolerance of the thickness of the material has been deleted. f) The requirement on resistance to water penetration has been formulated by taking into consideration that the applicable test method in DIN EN 20811 is cur

10、rently under revision and that a value on resistance to water penetration can only be set on the basis of data received with this revised test method. g) Requirements on marking have been amended. h) Requirements on information to be provided by the manufacturer have been added. i) The informative a

11、nnex on dimensions and tolerances has been deleted. j) The text has been editorially revised (e. g. by updating normative and informative references).

In addition, ISO/TC 198 “Sterilization of health care products“ in collaboration with CEN/TC 102 “Sterilizers for

27、 medical purposes“ has prepared the EN ISO 11607 series “Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices“. The EN ISO 11607 series specifies general requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems (Part 1) and validation requirements for forming, sealing and assembly pr

28、ocesses (Part 2). According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland

29、, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. DIN EN 868-9:2009-09 EN 868-9:2009 (E) 4 Introduction The EN ISO 11607 series consists of two parts under the general title “

30、Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices“. Part 1 of this series specifies general requirements and test methods for materials, preformed sterile barrier systems, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems that are intended to maintain sterility of terminally sterilized medical devices

31、 to the point of use. Part 2 of this series specifies validation requirements for forming, sealing and assembly processes. Every sterile barrier system shall fulfil the requirements of EN ISO 11607-1. The EN 868 series can be used to demonstrate compliance with one or more of the requirements specif

32、ied in EN ISO 11607-1. During the revision of EN 868 parts 2 to 10 CEN/TC 102/WG 4 recognized Resolution CEN/BT 21/2003 relating to the implementation of the uncertainty of measurement concept in standards. Following this Resolution and the corresponding guidance, CEN/TC 102/WG 4 has initiated a rev

33、iew of the test methods needed to show compliance with the requirements specified in EN 868 parts 2 to 10 with the intention that the information required by CEN/BT 21/2003 be available for inclusion in EN 868 parts 2 to 10 during one of their next revisions. CEN/TC 102/WG 4 also appreciates the ini

34、tiatives of CEN with regard to the minimization of adverse environmental impacts by standards. It was agreed that this subject should be given priority during the next edition of the EN ISO 11607 series that is the basic reference for all parts of the EN 868 series. DIN EN 868-9:2009-09 EN 868-9:200

35、9 (E) 5 1 Scope This part of EN 868 provides test methods and values for uncoated nonwoven materials of polyolefines used for sterile barrier systems and/or packaging systems that are intended to maintain sterility of terminally sterilized medical devices to the point of use. NOTE 1 The need for a p

36、rotective packaging may be determined by the manufacturer and the user. This part of EN 868 only introduces performance requirements and test methods that are specific to the products covered by this part of EN 868 but does not add or modify the general requirements specified in EN ISO 11607-1. As s

37、uch, the particular requirements in 4.2 to 4.3 can be used to demonstrate compliance with one or more but not all of the requirements of EN ISO 11607-1. NOTE 2 When additional materials are used inside the sterile barrier system in order to ease the organization, drying or aseptic presentation (e.g.

38、 inner wrap, container filter, indicators, packing lists, mats, instrument organizer sets, tray liners or an additional envelope around the medical device) then other requirements, including the determination of the acceptability of these materials during validation activities, may apply. The materi

39、als specified in this part of EN 868 are intended for single use only. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
