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 14607 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 285, Non-active surgical implants, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 150, Implants
for surgery, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna
Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 14607:2002), which has been technically
revised.

ISO 14607:2007(E)
Introduction
In addition to the requirements given in the level 1 standard, this International Standard provides a method for
addressing the fundamental principles outlined in ISO/TR 14283, as they apply to non-active surgical implants.
It also provides a method to demonstrate compliance with the relevant Essential Requirements as outlined in
general terms in Annex I of the Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning medical devices (amended
by the Commission Directive 2003/12/CE), as they apply to mammary implants for use in clinical practice.
Further specific information on mammary implants indicating how to comply with the Directive 93/42/EEC is
given by the Communication from the European Commission on community and national measures in relation
to mammary implants.
There are three levels of European Standards dealing with non-active surgical implants. These are as follows
(with level 1 being highest):
⎯ Level 1: General requirements for non-active surgical implants;
⎯ Level 2: Particular requirements for families of non-active surgical implants;
⎯ Level 3: Specific requirements for types of non-active surgical implants.
This is a level 2 standard and contains particular requirements for a family of mammary implants.
The level 1 standard, ISO 14630, contains requirements that apply to all non-active surgical implants. It also
indicates that there are additional requirements in the level 2 and level 3 standards.
To address all requirements, it is necessary to start with a standard of the lowest available level.

NOTE 1 No validated test method is currently available. For implants with a silicone shell and silicone filling, it is not
clear which proportion of the release comes from the shell or the filler material respectively. The test methods and
requirements for this clause are under consideration.
NOTE 2 There are currently two test methods available that might provide some valuable information concerning the
release: the ASTM F 703-96 and the release test described in Annex H.
7.2.4 Biological evaluation
The implant shall be evaluated for biological safety in accordance with the requirements of ISO 10993-1.
The local and systemic toxicity of any substance introduced into the body by mammary implants shall be
assessed. The toxicological evaluation shall be based on the chemical characterization and toxicokinetics of
the materials, available scientific data addressing toxicological hazards and risks and, where necessary,
specific testing.
The evaluation shall address the potential for short-term and long-term effects, including cytotoxicity, irritation,
haemocompatibility, genotoxicity, implantation, immunotoxicity and other forms of systemic toxicity,
reproductive toxicity and carcinogenicity. Moreover, the effects of shell surface texture on surrounding tissues
shall be evaluated. This evaluation shall be taken into account in the risk analysis. Knowledge of the
toxicokinetics of potentially toxic or reactive ingredients or degradation products is necessary when these
could be released into the body in substantial quantities following implantation. Information on distribution,
transformation and elimination, applicable to the route of exposure, is therefore necessary.
The manufacturer shall determine and justify if in vivo tests are necessary or not.
NOTE Evaluation might include a study of relevant experience and/or actual testing. This kind of evaluation might
conclude that no testing is needed if the implant material, manufactured in the same way, has a demonstrable history of
use in a specified role that is equivalent to that of the device under design (ISO
