This draft European Standard is submitted to CEN members for enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee ASD-
STAN.
If this draft becomes a European Standard, CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations
which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
This draft European Standard was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and
United Kingdom.
Recipients of this draft are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patent rights of which they are
aware and to provide supporting documentation.

3.3
new process
any IVD process that differs significantly from previously qualified processes
Note 1 to entry: This includes new of machine setup, new of pre- or post-processing methods, new target
composition of involved materials and/or chemicals, inclusion of additional processing steps and/or removal or
processing steps.
3.4
new supplier
any production site that newly introduces own production capabilities to produce IVD coatings
Note 1 to entry: renaming or relocation of a qualified production site is not a new supplier.
3.5
process qualification
set of investigations to be conducted to verify equivalent performance of coating with respect to this
specification produced by a newly developed or adapted coating method that fulfils the definition of a
new process, see 3.3
3.6
supplier qualification
set of investigations to be conducted to verify equivalent performance of coating with respect to this
specification produced by a new supplier, see 3.4
3.7
traveller
accompanying part of a lot or batch prepared to be a representative specimen to assess properties of
the coating, e.g., to assess coating thickness
4 Technical requirements
Unless otherwise specified, process qualification, supplier qualifications tests and lot release
inspections shall be performed as listed in Annex A Table A.1
