Biological evaluation of medical devices — Part 3: Tests for genotoxicity, carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity

Évaluation biologique des dispositifs médicaux — Partie 3: Essais concernant la génotoxicité, la cancérogénicité et la toxicité sur la reproduction

This edition has been replaced by ISO 10993-3:2026.

Abstract / scope

ISO 10993-3:2014 specifies strategies for risk estimation, selection of hazard identification tests and risk management, with respect to the possibility of the following potentially irreversible biological effects arising as a result of exposure to medical devices:

  • genotoxicity;
  • carcinogenicity;
  • reproductive and developmental toxicity.

ISO 10993-3:2014 is applicable when the need to evaluate a medical device for potential genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, or reproductive toxicity has been established.
