Annex ZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard and the General Safety and
Performance Requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 aimed to be
covered
This European standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardisation request M/575 to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to the General Safety and Performance Requirements of
Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of 5 April 2017 concerning medical devices [OJ L 117] and to system or
process requirements including those relating to quality management systems, risk management, post-
market surveillance systems, clinical investigations, clinical evaluation or post-market clinical follow-
up.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Regulation,
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 General Safety and
Performance Requirements of that Regulation, and associated EFTA regulations.
Where a definition in this standard differs from a definition of the same term set out in Regulation
(EU) 2017/745, the differences shall be indicated in this Annex Z. For the purpose of using this standard
in support of the requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2017/745, the definitions set out in this
Regulation prevail. In this context, the definition of ‘medical device’ in EN ISO 25424 is a modified
version of the definition prepared by the Global Harmonization Task Force with modification to the
Note in the definition.
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 Regulation (EU) 2017/745. This means that risks have to be
‘reduced as far as possible’, ‘reduced to the lowest possible level’, ‘reduced as far as possible and appropriate’,
‘removed or reduced as far as possible’, ‘eliminated or reduced as far as possible’, ’removed or minimized as far as
possible’, or ‘minimized’, according to the wording of the corresponding General Safety and Performance
Requirement.
NOTE 2 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with General Safety
and Performance Requirements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 of the Regulation.
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 a General Safety and Performance Requirement does not appear in Table ZA.1, it means that it is
not addressed by this European Standard.

11.3 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 This standard provides
requirements for the
development, validation and
routine control of a sterilization
process using low temperature
steam and formaldehyde for
medical devices, including
requirements that the medical
device is safe and performs as
intended after treatment. It could
also be applied to the
development, validation and
routine control of a process for
attainment of a specific microbial
state other than sterility. This
General Safety and Performance
Requirement is addressed only
with regard to devices for which
treatment by low temperature
steam and formaldehyde is
appropriate.
This relevant General Safety and
Performance Requirement is only
partly addressed in this European
Standard. Design and packaging
for maintenance of a specific
microbial state during
transportation and storage are not
covered. Aspects of manufacture
other than those related to
attainment of a specific microbial
state by low temperature steam
and formaldehyde are not
covered.
11.4 first sentence only 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 This standard provides

routine control of a sterilization
process using low temperature
steam and formaldehyde for
medical devices, including
requirements that the sterilized
medical device is safe and
performs as intended after
sterilization. This General Safety
and Performance Requirement is
addressed only with regard to
devices for which sterilization by
low temperature steam and
formaldehyde is appropriate.
This relevant General Safety and
Performance Requirement is only
partly addressed in this European
Standard. Design and packaging
for maintenance of sterility during
transportation and storage are not
covered. Aspects of manufacture
other than those related to
attainment of sterility by low
temperature steam and
formaldehyde are not covered.
Evidence that the integrity of the
packaging is maintained to the
point of use is not covered.

requirements that the sterilized
medical device is safe and
performs as intended after
sterilization. This General Safety
and Performance Requirement is
addressed only with regard to
devices for which sterilization by
