Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - Part 9: Uncoated nonwoven materials of polyolefines - Requirements and test methods

This part of EN 868 provides test methods and values for uncoated nonwoven materials of polyolefines used for sterile barrier systems and/or packaging systems that are intended to maintain sterility of terminally sterilized medical devices to the point of use.
NOTE 1   The need for a protective packaging may be determined by the manufacturer and the user.
This part of EN 868 only introduces performance requirements and test methods that are specific to the products covered by this part of EN 868 but does not add or modify the general requirements specified in EN ISO 11607-1.
As such, the particular requirements in 4.2 to 4.3 can be used to demonstrate compliance with one or more but not all of the requirements of EN ISO 11607-1.
NOTE 2   When additional materials are used inside the sterile barrier system in order to ease the organization, drying or aseptic presentation (e.g. inner wrap, container filter, indicators, packing lists, mats, instrument organizer sets, tray liners or an additional envelope around the medical device) then other requirements, including the determination of the acceptability of these materials during validation activities, may apply.
The materials specified in this part of EN 868 are intended for single use only.

Matériaux et systèmes d'emballage pour les dispositifs médicaux stérilisés au stade terminal - Partie 9: Non tissés à base de polyoléfines, non enduits, pour la fabrication de sachets, gaines et opercules thermoscellables - Exigences et méthodes d'essai

Cette partie de l’EN 868 présente des méthodes d’essai et des valeurs pour des matériaux non tissés, non enduits à base de polyoléfine adaptés pour utilisation en tant qu'emballage de dispositifs médicaux qui doivent être stérilisés au stade terminal.
Cette partie de l'EN 868 n'introduit pas d'exigences supplémentaires par rapport aux exigences générales spécifiées dans l'EN ISO 11607-1.
Les exigences particulières dans les paragraphes 4.2 à 4.3 peuvent être utilisées pour démontrer la conformité à une ou plusieurs, mais pas toutes les exigences de l’EN ISO 11607-1.
Le matériau spécifié dans cette Partie de la série EN 868 est destiné à être utilisé dans la fabrication partielle complète de sachets scellables, emballages formés et remplis et des matériaux de couverture pour des emballages.

Introduction
The EN ISO 11607 series consists of two parts under the general title "Packaging for terminally sterilized
medical devices". Part 1 of this series specifies general requirements and test methods for materials,
preformed sterile barrier systems, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems that are intended to maintain
sterility of terminally sterilized medical devices to the point of use. Part 2 of this series specifies validation
requirements for forming, sealing and assembly processes.
Every sterile barrier system shall fulfil the requirements of EN ISO 11607-1.
The EN 868 series can be used to demonstrate compliance with one or more of the requirements specified in
EN ISO 11607-1.
During the revision of EN 868 parts 2 to 10 CEN/TC 102/WG 4 recognized Resolution CEN/BT 21/2003
relating to the implementation of the uncertainty of measurement concept in standards. Following this
Resolution and the corresponding guidance, CEN/TC 102/WG 4 has initiated a review of the test methods
