ISO 10993-10 Thermal Sensitization Testing: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

ISO 10993-10 is a standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that provides guidelines for thermal sensitization testing of medical devices. This standard is part of the ISO 10993 series, which covers various biological evaluation methods for medical devices.

Legislative and Regulatory Framework

The ISO 10993-10 standard is designed to ensure the safety and efficacy of medical devices by evaluating their potential to cause thermal sensitization reactions in humans. The standard is based on the principles of good laboratory practice (GLP) and follows the guidelines outlined in ISO/IEC 17025.

International and National Standards

The following standards apply to ISO 10993-10 Thermal Sensitization Testing:

  • ISO 10993-1:2009(E)

  • ISO 10993-3:2006

  • ISO 10993-5:1999

  • ASTM F640:2014

  • EN ISO 10993-10:2017

    • Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing and maintaining the ISO 10993 series. The standard development process involves collaboration between experts from various countries and industries.

    Evolution of Standards and Updates
