26、ommission and the European Free Trade Association to provide a means of conforming to the Essential Requirements given in Annex I of the EU Directives 93/42/EEC as amended by 2007/47/EC. General Guidance: Once this standard will be cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Direc

27、tive, compliance with the clauses of this standard given in Table ZZ.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding Essential Requirements (ERs) of that Directive and associated EFTA regulations. NOTE 1 This standard is intended to be a

28、pplied in its entirety only. Selected clauses or subclauses may be not applicable due to the specific type of equipment under consideration. It is necessary to understand and apply Clauses 1 to 5. It is also recommended to understand and apply those clauses which contain general requirements related

29、 to a specific subclause. Elements of the standard that are not cited in Table ZZ.1 may be relevant for the appropriate fulfilment of certain essential requirements through indirect reference, and for safety and performance aspects of the device, that are not addressed through essential requirements

30、. NOTE 2 Where a reference from a clause of this standard to the risk management process is made, the risk management process needs to be in compliance to the MDD (Directive 93/42/EEC amended by 2007/47/EC). This means that risks have to be reduced “as far as possible“, “to a minimum“, “to the lowes

31、t possible level“, “minimized“ or “removed“, according to the wording of the corresponding essential requirement. NOTE 3 With respect to Note 4 of 4.2.2 General requirement for risk management, the manufacturers policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with essential requirements

32、 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the directive. NOTE 4 References in the Clauses 3 to 17 or in the Annexes of this standard specify whether the normative references listed in Clause 2 as cited in Annex ZA are to be applied in whole or in part. NOTE 5 This Annex ZZ is based on Normative References

33、according to Annex ZA, replacing the references in the core text. NOTE 6 According to the scope of this standard the coverage in Table ZZ.1 only applies to the design and construction of HEARING INSTRUMENTS or HEARING INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS. This European Standard lists in Table ZZ.1 only the essential

34、requirements covered. WARNING: Other requirements and other EU Directives and Regulations may be applicable to the product(s) falling within the scope of this standard.

37、patient and are compatible with a high level of protection of health and safety. This shall include: The application of EN 60601-2-66 and the documents referenced in there (below referenced as “this document” or “this standard”) support a manufacturer to design HEARING INSTRUMENTS and HEARING INSTRU

38、MENT SYSTEMS (below “devices”) in such a way that, when used under the conditions and for the purposes intended, they will not compromise the clinical condition or the safety of patients, or the safety and health of users or, where applicable, other persons, while accepting only risks associated wit

Details and exclusions supporting this general statement follow in order of the essential requirements below. Where the inte

40、nded use of devices exceeds the scope of this document, the manufacturer may need to apply additional methods to achieve conformity to the essential requirements. Manufacturing aspects are not covered by this document! This statement applies to several essential requirements below but will not be re
