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 st

22、erilized 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 processes (Part 2). According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national st

23、andards 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, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland,

25、roduction The 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

26、 that are intended 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

27、can be used 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 th

28、is Resolution 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 t

29、o 10 during 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 basi

30、c reference for all parts of the series EN 868.

31、ods and values for paper used in the manufacture of preformed 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 protective packaging may be determined by the manufacturer and th

32、e 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 such, the particular requirements in 4.2 to 4.3 can be used to de

33、monstrate compliance with one or more but not all of the requirements of EN ISO 11607-1. Paper specified in this part of the series EN 868 is intended for use in part or complete manufacture of pouches and form and fill packs and lidding material for packs. NOTE 2 The paper specified in this part of

34、 the series EN 868 is suitable for the manufacture of sterile barrier systems to be used in ethylene oxide, irradiation or low temperature steam formaldehyde sterilization processes and to produce coated paper according to EN 868-7. NOTE 3 Paper according to EN 868-3 can also be used for these steri

35、lization processes. The materials specified in this part of EN 868 are intended for single use only. NOTE 4 When additional materials are used inside the sterile barrier system in order to ease the organization, drying or aseptic presentation (e.g. inner wrap, container filters, indicators, packing

36、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. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are
