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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/

Amendment 1 to ISO 11137-2:2013 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 198, Sterilization of
health care products.

Part 2:
Establishing the sterilization dose
AMENDMENT 1

Add a new 6.4:
6.4 If a sterilization dose of 17,5, 20, 22,5, 27,5, 30, 32,5 or 35 kGy is established in accordance with
ISO/TS 13004, it shall be substantiated by one of the following methods:
SD
a) Method VD of ISO/TS 13004;
max
b) Method 1 (see Clause 7), subject to the derived sterilization dose taking a value less than or equal
−6
to the selected sterilization dose and achieving maximally an SAL of 10 ;
c) Method 2 (see Clause 8), subject to the derived sterilization dose taking a value less than or equal
−6
to the selected sterilization dose and achieving an SAL of 10 ; or
d) a method providing equivalent assurance to that of a), b) or c) above in achieving maximally an SAL
−6
of 10 .

Add related content under Clause 9 so that it reads:
9  Method VDmax — Substantiation of 25 kGy or 15 kGy as the sterilization dose
Rationale and methods for substantiation of sterilization doses of 15 and 25 kGy using Method VD
max
are provided below. Rationale and methods for substantiation of sterilization doses of 17,5, 20, 22,5,
27,5, 30, 32,5 or 35 kGy using Method VD are provided in ISO/TS 13004.

Annex ZA
(informative)

Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential
Requirements of EU Directive 90/385/EEC on active implantable
medical devices
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN/CENELEC by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association to provide a means of conforming to Essential
Requirements of the New Approach Directive 90/385/EEC on active implantable medical devices.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under 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 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 90/385/EEC, as amended by 2007/47/EC. This means that
risks have to be reduced ‘as far 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 manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with essential
requirements 1, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 10 of the 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.

Essential Requirements (ERs)
Clauses of this EN Qualifying remarks/Notes
of Directive 90/385/EEC
7 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 This standard provides require-
ments for the development,
validation and routine control of a
sterilization process using ionising
radiation. This Essential Require-
ment is addressed only with regard
to devices for which sterilization
by ionising radiation is appropri-
ate and only in conjunction with
EN ISO 11137-1.
This relevant Essential Require-
ment is only partly addressed in
this European Standard. Design
and packaging for maintenance of
sterility during transportation and
storage are not covered. Aspects
of manufacture other than those
related to sterilization by ionising
radiation are not covered.

WARNING 1 — Presumption of conformity stays valid only as long as a reference to this European
Standard is maintained in the list published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Users
of this standard should consult frequently the latest list published in the Official Journal of the
European Union.
WARNING 2 — Other Union legislation may be applicable to the products falling within the scope
of this standard.
