The ISO 10993 set entails a series of standards for evaluating the biocompatibility of medical devices. These documents were preceded by the Tripartite agreement and is a part of the international harmonisation of the safe use evaluation of medical devices.

List of the standards in the 10993 series

  • ISO 10993-1:2009 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 1: Evaluation and testing in the risk management process
  • ISO 10993-2:2006 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 2: Animal welfare requirements
