Optimized standards
to support essential principles
of safety and performance
of medical devices
Why the drafting of international medical
device standards directly impact the
harmonisation of standards under the EU
legislation?
2
Recap: the EU New Approach
(including medical devices and IVD)
• Presumption of conformity through
harmonized standards.
• References published in the Official Journal of
the EU.
• Annex Z of the standard.
3
• approx. 300 harmonised standards under Medical
Device Directives
• Updates required for the new Regulations: new request
(mandate) to be agreed with Member States and
standardisation organisations once new principles for
mandates have been resolved.
• Work already launched.
Harmonised standards under EU
Medical Device Directives/Regulations
4
 European standards that has been subject to a mandate
(request) to the European standardisation organisations
 the standard must be ‘suitable’ for harmonisation
 to whom is it addressed?
 what is the scope?
 why is the harmonisation needed?
 scope of coverage of ER
 full – partial
 general – collateral – product specific
- e.g. 60601-X-X family: a single standard (whichever category) cannot
provide for Presumption of Conformity on its own – this needs to be
clearly stated in the standard / Annex Z
What types of standards can be
harmonized in the EU?
5
• The European standards for medical devices
are in general based on international ISO/IEC
standards
• Agreements between CEN-ISO and CENELEC-
IEC
The role of international standards in
harmonisation
6
• International standards made to fit regulatory requirements of multiple
jurisdictions:
• EU and other IMDRF members base their legislation on IMDRF documents
 = use IMDRF essential principles (EP) as starting point. Make explicit which.
 = use terms and definitions from IMDRF and established and accepted in other
standards
 = explain (rationale) the context - how the standard can be used for demonstrating
compliance with EP (including ref. to test methods if applicable)
 = identify residual risks not covered
 = identify how to mitigate risks/hazards or give directions on how to address them
 = associated with acceptance criteria (quantitative, clinical performance etc., generally
accepted, validated) – justifications when not applied
 = when needed refer to test methods (sufficient detail and verified)
 = annex with cross references to IMDRF EP(s)
• Revisions in TC
How to make the international standards fit
for EU harmonisation purposes
