External limb prostheses and external orthoses - Requirements and test methods (ISO 22523:2006)
ISO 22523:2006 specifies requirements and test methods for external limb prostheses and external orthoses, including the following classifications from ISO 9999:
06 03 - 06 15 Orthoses06 18 - 06 27 Limb prostheses
It covers strength, materials, restrictions on use, risk and the provision of information associated with the normal conditions of use of both components and assemblies of components.
This International Standard does not cover special seating as it is not classified as an orthosis in ISO 9999 and it is not normally body worn.

L'ISO 22523:2006 spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d'essai applicables aux prothèses de membre externes et orthèses externes, y compris les classifications suivantes de l'ISO 9999:
06 03 - 06 15 Orthèses06 18 - 06 27 Prothèses de membre
Elle couvre la résistance, les matériaux utilisés, les restrictions d'utilisation, les risques et les informations associés aux conditions normales d'utilisation des composants et des ensembles de composants.
La présente Norme internationale ne traite pas des «corsets-sièges» car ils ne sont pas classés comme orthèses dans l'ISO 9999 et ne sont pas normalement portés sur le corps.

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.
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).
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. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World
Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 168, Prosthetics and orthotics.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 22523:2006), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
in 4.2 it is now required to the technical documentation shall specifically include a statement
about the life time of the device;
5.2.1 was amended to reflect the fact that generally all materials that come into contact with
the human body have to be assessed for biocompatibility;
The content of Annex B was removed.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org/members.html.

External limb prostheses and external orthoses — Requirements
and test methods
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and test methods for external limb prostheses and external
orthoses, including the following classifications from ISO 9999:
06 03 - 06 15 Orthoses
06 18 - 06 27 Limb prostheses
It covers strength, materials, restrictions on use, risk and the provision of information associated with
the normal conditions of use of both components and assemblies of components. This document is also
applicable as a guide in the design and test of custom build orthosis and prosthesis.
NOTE The application of Quality Systems as described or referred to in ISO 13485 and ISO 13488 can be
appropriate.
