Ophthalmic optics - Contact lens care products - Guidelines for determination of shelf-life (ISO 13212:2014)

EN ISO 13212 provides guidance on the design of stability studies for use in gathering information to enable determination of the shelf-life of contact lens care products. This International Standard does not address studies designed to obtain information to establish the in-use stability (i.e. notice of discard date) of contact lens care products.

Augenoptik - Kontaktlinsenpflegemittel - Leitfaden für die Bestimmung der Lagerdauer (ISO 13212:2014)

Diese Internationale Norm gibt einen Leitfaden für die Auslegung von Stabilitätsuntersuchungen mit dem Ziel, Informationen betreffend die Bestimmung der Lagerdauer von Kontaktlinsenpflegemitteln zusammenzutragen, an.
Sie gilt nicht für Untersuchungen, die darauf ausgerichtet sind, Informationen zur Stabilität von Kontaktlinsen-pflegemitteln während des Gebrauchs zu gewinnen [d. h. Informationen bezüglich der Aufbrauchfrist (en: discard date)].

Optique ophtalmique - Produits d'entretien pour lentilles de contact - Lignes directrices pour la détermination de la durée de conservation (ISO 13212:2014)

L'ISO 13212:2011 fournit des directives de conception des études de stabilité à utiliser pour réunir des informations permettant de déterminer la durée de conservation des produits d'entretien pour lentilles de contact.
L'ISO 13212:2011 ne s'applique pas aux études destinées à fournir des informations permettant d'établir la stabilité en cours d'utilisation (c'est-à-dire la déclaration de fin d'utilisation) des produits d'entretien pour lentilles de contact.

Očesna optika - Izdelki za vzdrževanje kontaktnih leč - Smernice za določanje roka uporabnosti (ISO 13212:2014)

Standard EN ISO 13212 zagotavlja smernice za načrtovanje študij stabilnosti, ki se uporabljajo za zbiranje informacij za določanje roka uporabnosti izdelkov za vzdrževanje kontaktnih leč. Ta mednarodni standard ne obravnava študij, načrtovanih za pridobivanje informacij za določanje stabilnosti med uporabo (tj. datum, kdaj je treba izdelek zavreči) izdelkov za vzdrževanje kontaktnih leč.

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.

Introduction
The purpose of stability tests of contact lens care products is to obtain sufficient information to enable
the manufacturer to establish an appropriate shelf-life and identify any unique storage conditions
required to appear on the labelling of the product.
The quality of a contact lens care product is determined by its content of active ingredient(s), its purity,
and its physicochemical and microbiological properties. It is important to take into account the possible
interaction of the container/closure with the contents.
The stability studies are intended to ascertain how the quality of a product varies as a function of time
and under the influence of a variety of environmental factors.
On the basis of the information obtained, storage conditions are recommended, which will guarantee
the maintenance of the quality of the product in relation to its safety, performance, and acceptability
throughout the proposed shelf-life.
The design of the finished product stability studies for a care product is based on the knowledge obtained
from studies on the active ingredient(s) and from the development studies.
