NF EN ISO 10993-10
Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 10 : tests for irritation and delayed-type hypersensitivity
This part of ISO 10993 describes the procedure for the assessment of medical devices and their constituent materials with regard to their potential to produce irritation and delayed-type hypersensitivity.This part of ISO 10993 includes pretest considerations, details of the test procedures, and key factors for the interpretation of the results.Guidance is given in annex A for the preparation of materials specifically in relation to the above tests. Guidance on the conduct of supplementary tests which are required specifically for devices used intradermally and in the ocular area is given in annex B. Guidance on the conduct of supplementary tests which may be required for devices used for oral, rectal, penile and vaginal areas is given in annex C.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
