Non-active surgical implants - General requirements (ISO 14630:2012)

ISO 14630:2012 specifies general requirements for non-active surgical implants. ISO 14630:2012 is not applicable to dental implants, dental restorative materials, transendodontic and transradicular implants, intra-ocular lenses and implants utilizing viable animal tissue.
With regard to safety, ISO 14630:2012 specifies requirements for intended performance, design attributes, materials, design evaluation, manufacture, sterilization, packaging and information supplied by the manufacturer, and tests to demonstrate compliance with these requirements.

Implants chirurgicaux non actifs - Exigences générales (ISO 14630:2012)

L'ISO 14630:2012 spécifie des exigences générales relatives aux implants chirurgicaux non actifs, ci-après appelés implants. Elle ne s'applique ni aux implants dentaires, ni aux produits utilisés en médecine dentaire restauratrice, ni aux implants transendodontiques et transradiculaires, ni aux lentilles intraoculaires, ni aux implants utilisant des tissus animaux viables.
En matière de sécurité, l'ISO 14630:2012 donne des exigences relatives aux performances prévues, aux caractéristiques de conception, aux matériaux, à l'évaluation de la conception, à la fabrication, à la stérilisation, à l'emballage et aux informations fournies par le fabricant, de même qu'aux essais destinés à faire la preuve de la conformité à ces exigences.

Foreword
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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14630 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 150, Implants for surgery.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 14630:2008), which has been technically revised.

ISO 14630:2012(E)
Introduction
This International Standard provides a method of addressing the fundamental principles outlined in
ISO/TR 14283 as they apply to non-active surgical implants. It also provides a method for demonstrating
compliance with the relevant essential requirements as outlined in the general terms in Annex 1 of the European
Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning medical devices as they apply to non-active surgical
implants, hereafter referred to as implants. It might also help manufacturers comply with the requirements of
other regulatory bodies.
There are three levels of standards dealing with non-active surgical implants and related instrumentation. For
the implants themselves, they are as follows, with level 1 being the highest.
— Level 1: General requirements for non-active surgical implants.
— Level 2: Particular requirements for families of non-active surgical implants.
— Level 3: Specific requirements for types of non-active surgical implants.
Level 1 standards, such as this International Standard and Reference [4], contain requirements that apply to
all non-active surgical implants. They also anticipate that there are additional requirements in the level 2 and
level 3 standards.
Level 2 standards (see References [5], [6], [7], [8] and [9]) apply to a more restricted set or family of non-active
surgical implants, such as those designed for use in neurosurgery, cardiovascular surgery, or joint replacement.
Level 3 standards (see References [10], [11], [12] and [13]) apply to specific types of implants within a family of
non-active surgical implants, such as hip joints or arterial stents.
To address all requirements for a specific implant, it is advisable that the standard of the lowest available level
be consulted first.
NOTE The requirements in this International Standard correspond to international consensus. Individual or national
standards or regulatory bodies can prescribe other requirements.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 14630:2012(E)
Non-active surgical implants — General requirements
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies general requirements for non-active surgical implants, hereafter referred
to as implants. This International Standard is not applicable to dental implants, dental restorative materials,
transendodontic and transradicular implants, intra-ocular lenses and implants utilizing viable animal tissue.
With regard to safety, this International Standard specifies requirements for intended performance, design
attributes, materials, design evaluation, manufacture, sterilization, packaging and information supplied by the
manufacturer, and tests to demonstrate compliance with these requirements.
Additional tests are given or referred to in level 2 and level 3 standards.
NOTE This International Standard does not require that the manufacturer have a quality management system in place.
However, the application of a quality management system, such as that described in ISO 13485, might be appropriate to
help ensure that the implant achieves its intended performance.
