Annex ZA
(informative)

Relationship between this European Standard and the essential
requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC [OJ L 169] aimed to be covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request M/023
concerning the development of European Standards related to medical devices to provide one voluntary
means of conforming to essential requirements of Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June 1993
concerning medical devices [OJ L 169].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements
of that Directive and associated EFTA regulations.
NOTE 1 Where a reference from a clause of this standard to the risk management process is made, the risk
management process needs to be in compliance with Directive 93/42/EEC as amended by 2007/47/EC. This
means that risks have to be reduced ‘as far as possible’, ‘to a minimum’, ‘to the lowest possible level’, ‘minimized’
or ‘removed’, according to the wording of the corresponding essential requirement.
NOTE 2 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with Essential
Requirements 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the Directive.
NOTE 3 When an Essential Requirement does not appear in Table ZA.1, it means that it is not addressed by this
European Standard.

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 on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 121, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment,
Subcommittee SC 8, Suction devices for hospital and emergency care use.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 10079-1:1999), which has been
technically revised.
ISO 10079 consists of the following parts, under the general title Medical suction equipment:
— Part 1: Electrically powered suction equipment
— Part 2: Manually powered suction equipment
— Part 3: Suction equipment powered from a vacuum or positive pressure gas source
Annex A forms a normative part of this part of ISO 10079 while Annex B, Annex C, and Annex D are for
information only.
Annex B contains rationale statements for some of the requirements of this part of ISO 10079. The clauses
and subclauses marked with an asterisk (*) at the beginning of the paragraph have corresponding
rationale contained in Annex B included to provide additional insight into the reasoning that led to
the requirements and recommendations that have been incorporated into this part of ISO 10079. It
is considered that knowledge of the reasons for the requirements will not only facilitate the proper
application of this part of ISO 10079, but will expedite any subsequent revisions.
Annex D illustrates the three parts of ISO 10079 by providing a schematic for typical systems.
