Overview

EN ISO 18113-2:2024 - "In vitro diagnostic medical devices - Information supplied by the manufacturer (labelling) - Part 2: In vitro diagnostic reagents for professional use" is the CEN-adopted European version of ISO 18113-2:2022. It specifies labelling and information requirements that manufacturers must supply for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) reagents, calibrators and controls intended for professional use. The standard covers labels for outer and immediate containers and the instructions for use (IFU), and can also apply to accessories. It explicitly does not apply to IVD instruments/equipment or to reagents intended for self-testing.

Key Topics and Requirements

This part of the EN/ISO 18113 series defines content and format expectations to ensure safe, effective use and regulatory alignment. Key technical topics include:

• Manufacturer identification and contact details required on labels.
• IVD reagent identification: reagent name, purpose/intended use and device type.
• Traceability elements: batch code / lot number and Unique Device Identifier (UDI) requirements.
• Contents and composition: listing reagents, calibrators and controls included in the kit.
• Storage, transport and handling conditions and expiry date information.
• Warnings, precautions and safety statements for professional users.
• Instructions for use (IFU): reagent preparation, limitations, required additional equipment, and safe combination instructions.
• Analytical and diagnostic performance information: essential performance claims (e.g., sensitivity, specificity) and other performance characteristics relevant to intended use.
• Document and change control practices for labelling and IFU updates.

The standard is intended to be read together with EN ISO 18113-1 (terms and general requirements) and relevant normative references (e.g., ISO 15223-1, ISO 14971). Annex ZA maps this standard to the General Safety and Performance Requirements of EU Regulation (EU) 2017/746.

Applications and Who Uses It

EN ISO 18113-2:2024 is used by:

• IVD manufacturers preparing labels, packaging and IFUs for reagents, calibrators and controls (professional use).
• Regulatory and quality teams to demonstrate compliance with labelling requirements and to support conformity with Regulation (EU) 2017/746 where applicable.
• Notified bodies and auditors assessing labelling, IFU content and traceability during conformity assessments.
• Clinical laboratories and procurement teams reviewing reagent information for safe implementation and inventory control.

Practical applications include designing compliant outer and immediate container labels, assembling IFUs that communicate safe handling, and documenting traceability (lot/UDI) for post-market surveillance.

Related Standards

• EN ISO 18113-1 (Terms, definitions, general requirements)
• ISO 14971 (Risk management for medical devices)
• ISO 15223-1 (Medical device symbols and labelling)

Using EN ISO 18113-2:2024 helps manufacturers produce clear, compliant labelling that supports patient safety, regulatory submissions, and effective use of professional IVD reagents.

Annex ZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard the General Safety and
Performance Requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/746 aimed to be
covered
This European standard has been prepared under M/575 to provide one voluntary means of
conforming to the General Safety and Performance Requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/746 of 5
April 2017 concerning in vitro diagnostic medical devices [OJ L 117] and to system or process
requirements including those relating to quality management systems, risk management, post-market
surveillance systems, performance studies, clinical evidence or post-market performance 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 and application of the
edition of the normatively referenced standards as given in Table ZA.2 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.
For the purpose of using this standard in support of the requirements set out in Regulation (EU)
2017/746, the definitions set out in this Regulation prevail.
This document needs to be considered together with the other parts of EN ISO 18113-series to fully
apply the concepts of this labelling standard series. EN ISO 18113-1 provides definitions and overall
concepts which may be further applied or directed to specific device format and labelling location.
Where the European standard is an adoption of an International Standard, the scope of this standard
can differ from the scope of the European Regulation that it supports. As the scope of the applicable
regulatory requirements differ from nation to nation and region to region, the standard can only
support European regulatory requirements to the extent of the scope of the In vitro Diagnostic
Regulation (EU) 2017/746).
Where the standard includes notes that require alignment to local or regional regulations, all clauses
need to be read in the context of Regulation (EU) 2017/746.
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) 2017/746. This means that risks have to be
‘reduced as far as possible’, ‘reduced to a level as low as reasonably practicable’, ‘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’, ‘prevented’ 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, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 of the Regulation.
NOTE 3 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.
Table ZA.1 — Correspondence between this European Standard and Annex I of
Regulation (EU) 2017/746 [OJ L 117] and to system or process requirements including those relating

investigations, clinical evaluation or post-market clinical follow-up

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).

Introduction
Manufacturers of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) reagents for professional use, supply users with information
to enable the safe use and the expected performance of their devices. The type and level of detail varies
according to the intended uses and country-specific regulations.
The International Medical Devices Regulators Forum (IMDRF) encourages convergence of the evolution
of regulatory systems for medical devices at the global level. Eliminating differences among regulatory
jurisdictions can allow patients earlier access to new technologies and treatments. This document
provides a basis for harmonization of labelling requirements for
