22、Part 10: Adhesive coated nonwoven materials of polyolefines Requirements and test methods. In addition, ISO/TC 198 “Sterilization of health care products“ in collaboration with CEN/TC 102 “Sterilizers for medical purposes“ has prepared the EN ISO 11607 series “Packaging for terminally sterilized med

23、ical 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 processes (Part 2). According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards orga

24、nizations 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, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, R

26、e EN ISO 11607 series consists of two parts under the general title “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 in

27、tended to maintain sterility of terminally sterilized medical devices 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

28、to demonstrate compliance with one or more of the requirements specified 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 Resolutio

29、n and the corresponding guidance, CEN/TC 102/WG 4 has initiated a review 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

30、one of their next revisions. CEN/TC 102/WG 4 also appreciates the initiatives 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

31、for all parts of the EN 868 series.

32、es for paper, used in the manufacture of paper bags (specified in EN 868-4) and in the manufacture of pouches and reels (specified in EN 868-5) used as sterile barrier systems and/or packaging systems that are intended to maintain sterility of terminally sterilized medical devices to the point of us

33、e. NOTE 1 The need for a protective 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 specifi

34、ed in EN ISO 11607-1. As such, the particular requirements in 4.2 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

35、 presentation (e.g. 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

36、 apply. The materials specified in this part of EN 868 are intended for single use only. NOTE 3 Applicable sterilization methods are specified by the manufacturer. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
