For those of you in the medical device field, the BS EN 980 CD Rom, “Symbols For Use In The Labelling Of Medical Devices,” was an easy to use repository of symbols required for the export of your product to Europe. So when the BS EN 980 was replaced by the BS EN ISO 15223-1, there was a noticeable gap in functionality. But now Document Center Inc. is pleased to announce that we have the new BS EN ISO 15223-1 CD Rom available – “Medical devices. Symbols to be used with medical device labels, labelling and information to be supplied. General requirements.” This is the product for you to use for the art required for your labels!
This CD not only contains the 2012 edition of BS EN ISO 15223-1 “Medical devices — Symbols to be used with medical device labels, labelling and information to be supplied Part 1: General requirements (ISO 15223-1:2012)” but also the 2011 edition of BS EN 15986 “Symbols for use in the labelling of medical devices — Requirements for labelling of medical devices containing phthalates.”
You’ll get separate graphic images of the symbols in TIF, JPEG and EPS format, which can be downloaded and reproduced easily. The figures presented in BS EN ISO 15223-1 and BS EN 15986 are TIF files and these are the definitive versions of the drawings. All other file types have been redrawn from the definitive versions.
This functionality is particularly useful for manufacturers and suppliers of medical devices, and to manufacturers and suppliers of safety signs and stickers, and technical authors. By including the standards (for guidance and context) together with the symbols, the CD-ROM makes labeling easy.
The new CD can be ordered from Document Center Inc. on our website, www.document-center.com. Or contact us by phone (650-591-7600), fax (650-591-7617) or email (info@document-center.com). We are here to make it easier for you to use and understand the standards so important in your business.
