Information on the new edition of ISO 15223-1 – Medical devices – Symbols to be used on medical device labels, labeling and information provided with them – Part 1: General requirements

For this reason, a number of & nbsp; internationally agreed graphic symbols. The ISO 15223-1 standard is a globally accepted document that applies to symbols used in a wide variety of medical devices, both on their packaging and in the accompanying information. The last update was to improve the definitions and descriptions and to add new symbols to accommodate different legal requirements.

The standard is intended to be used by manufacturers / manufacturers of medical devices who market their products in other countries to ensure consistency and eliminate possible ambiguities in the presentation of information on packaging and instructions for use. It is also useful for users of such products as it helps to understand many issues related to a given product.
