Annex ZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard and the essential
requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC [OJ L 169] (as amended) aimed to be
covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization mandate
BC/CEN/CENELEC/09/89 "Standardization mandate jointly to CEN and CENELEC concerning the
preparation of European standards relating to Horizontal aspects in the field of medical devices" referred
to in the mandate M/023, concerning the development of European standards relating 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 and has been
implemented as a national standard in at least one Member State, 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.
