Comprehensive Guide to ISO 10993-10 Fatigue Impact on Irritation Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ISO 10993-10 is a standard that specifies the requirements for testing medical devices to evaluate their potential for causing fatigue impact on irritation. This standard is part of the larger ISO 10993 series, which provides guidelines for the biological evaluation of medical devices.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 10993-10:2002(E) - Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization
  • ASTM F1980-03(2013) - Standard Test Method for Determining the Irritation Potential of Materials to Skin (in Vitro Transcutaneous Electrical Resistance (TER) Assay)
  • EN ISO 10993-10:2005A1:2012 - Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization
  • TSE 1184:2010 - Medical device biocompatibility testing requirements
  • The international standard development organization responsible for the development and maintenance of this standard is the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The ISO works closely with national standards organizations, such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) in the United States, to ensure that standards are globally harmonized.

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies and research findings emerge. This standard has undergone revisions to reflect changes in testing methodologies and to align with emerging regulatory requirements.
