22、 European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association to provide a means of conforming to the Essential Requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC. Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under
23、that Directive and has been implemented as a national standard in at least one Member State, compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding Essential Requirements
24、of that Directive and associated EFTA Regulations. NOTE 1 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 with Directive 93/42/EEC as amended by 2007/47/EC. This means that risks have to be reduced as far
25、as possible, to a minimum, to the lowest possible level, minimized or removed, according to the wording of the corresponding essential requirement. NOTE 2 The manufacturers policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with essential requirements 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the
26、Directive. NOTE 3 This Annex ZA is based on normative references according to the table of references in the European foreword, replacing the references in the core text. NOTE 4 When an Essential Requirement does not appear in Table ZA.1, it means that it is not addressed by this European Standard.

Its appearance and layout are consistent with other TC 84 International Standards, which are designed to be more performance-based than design-prescriptive.Manufacturers ar
49、e expected to follow a risk-based approach and employ usability engineering during the design, development and manufacture of insulin syringes.This edition introduces general requirements as design guidelines for manufacturers. This edition retains a number of limits on requirements, which were originally based on consensus opinion but subsequently have been confirmed in practice.This International Standard does not specify materials to be used for the construction and lubrication of sterile insulin syringes and needles for single use because th
