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 15223-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 210, Quality management and corresponding
general aspects for medical devices.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15223-1:2007) and EN 980:2008, which have
been technically revised. It also incorporates the amendment ISO 15223-1:2007/Amd.1:2008.
ISO 15223 consists of the following parts, under the general title Medical devices — Symbols to be used with
medical device labels, labelling and information to be supplied:
� Part 1: General requirements
� Part 2: Symbol development, selection and validation
NOTE Future symbols intended to appear in this part of ISO 15223 are to be validated in accordance with
ISO 15223-2.

Introduction
This part of ISO 15223 addresses the presentation of certain items of information that are considered by
regulatory authorities to be essential for the safe and proper use of medical devices. As such, the items are
required to appear with the medical device in most regulatory domains. The information can be required to
appear on the medical device itself, as part of the label, or provided with the medical device.
Many countries require that their own language be used to display textu
