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.
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.
International Standard ISO 5834-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 150, Implants for surgery,
Subcommittee SC 1, Materials.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 5834-2:1985), which has been technically revised.
ISO 5834 consists of the following parts, under the general title Implants for surgery — Ultra-high molecular weight
polyethylene:
 Part 1: Powder form
 Part 2: Moulded forms

Moulded forms
1  Scope
This part of ISO 5834 specifies the requirements and corresponding test methods for moulded forms made from
ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (PE-UHMW) for use in the manufacture of surgical implants.
It does not apply to direct-moulded or finished products.
