Annex ZA
(informative)

Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential
Requirements of EU Directive 93/42/EEC [OJ L 169] aimed to be covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request [M/023
concerning the development of European Standards related to medical devices] to provide one
voluntary means of conforming to essential requirements of Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June
1993 concerning medical devices [OJ L 169].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements
of that Directive and associated EFTA regulations.
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 Directive 93/42/EEC as amended by 2007/47/EC. This
means that risks have to be reduced ‘as far as possible’, ‘to a minimum’, ‘to the lowest possible level’, ‘minimized’
or ‘removed’, according to the wording of the corresponding essential requirement.
NOTE 2 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with Essential
Requirements 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the Directive.
NOTE 3 This Annex ZA is based on normative references according to the table of references in the European
foreword, replacing the references in the core text.
NOTE 4 When an Essential Requirement does not appear in Table ZA.1, it means that it is not addressed by this
European Standard.

Annex I of Directive 93/42/EEC [OJ L 169]
Essential Requirements Clause(s)/subclause(s) of
Remarks/Notes
of directive 93/42/EEC this EN
7.5 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.2.2.1 The Essential Requirement is covered
with respect to the risk posed by
silicone gel leaking from the implant.
The standard requires several tests to
establish safe composition and
properties of silicone gel. Beyond that
the standard also requires several
tests to establish the integrity of the
implant shell to prevent leaks.
Additionally, an evaluation of diffusion
of gel through the implant shell is
required in 7.3.4.
Standard Clause 6.2 covers Directive
Annex I, ER 7.5 in respect of
cytotoxicity only.
Standard Clause 6.3 covers Directive

impact on the implant, e.g. due to the
safety belt being triggered in a car
accident.
The standard provides an impact
resistance test to make sure implants
withstand such impacts.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 150, Implants for surgery,
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 14607:2007), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— limit values for trace elements have been added (6.4);
— determination of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) in
silicone gels (new Annex A) has been included;
— mechanical test on a mammary implant in its implantable state (new Annex C, previously Annex E),
specifically the fatigue test (C.1), has undergone major revision;
— test for silicone gel penetration (silicone filling materials only) (new Annex F) has been included;
— silicone diffusion assessment from mammary implants by an in vitro method (new Annex G,
previously Annex H) has undergone major revision;
— test for surface characteristics (new Annex H, previously Annex A) has undergone major revision.

Introduction
There are three levels of International Standards dealing with non-active surgical implants. These are
as follows (with level 1 being the highest):
— Level 1: General requirements for non-active surgical implants;
— Level 2: Particular requirements for families of non-active surgical implants;
— Level 3: Specific requirements for types of non-active surgical implants.
This document is a level 2 standard and contains particular requirements for a family of mammary
implants.
The level 1 standard, ISO 14630, contains requirements that apply to all non-active surgical implants. It
also indicates that there are additional requirements in the level 2 and level 3 standards.
To address all requirements, the lowest available level is the level to start with.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national
standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally
carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a
technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee.
International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in
the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade Organization (WTO)

The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 150, Implants for surgery.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 14607:2007), which has been technically
revised.

Introduction
There are three levels of International Standards dealing with non-active surgical implants. These are as
follows (with level 1 being the highest):
 Level 1: General requirements for non-active surgical implants;
 Level 2: Particular requirements for families of non-active surgical implants;
 Level 3: Specific requirements for types of non-active surgical implants.
This is a level 2 standard and contains particular requirements for a family of mammary implants.
The level 1 standard, ISO 14630, contains requirements that apply to all non-active surgical implants. It
also indicates that there are additional requirements in the level 2 and level 3 standards.
To address all requirements, it is necessary to start with a standard of the lowest available level.
