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 17510-2 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in collaboration with
Technical Committee ISO/TC 121, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment, Subcommittee SC 3, Lung
ventilators and related equipment, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO
and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
Throughout the text of this document, read ".this European Standard." to mean ".this International
Standard.".
ISO 17510 consists of the following parts, under the general title Sleep apnoea breathing therapy:
— Part 1: Sleep apnoea breathing therapy devices
— Part 2: Masks and application accessories
For the purposes of this part of ISO 17510, the CEN annex regarding fulfilment of European Council
Directives has been removed.
Annex ZZ provides a list of corresponding International and European Standards for which equivalents are not
given in the text.
