BS ISO 5832-4:2014

Comprehensive Standard for Metallic Implant Materials

BS ISO 5832-4:2014 is the essential standard for healthcare professionals working with metallic materials used in surgical implants. This comprehensive specification outlines the requirements and test methods for the composition, mechanical properties, and other key characteristics of these critical medical devices.

Ensuring Safety and Quality for Implants

Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard is a crucial reference for anyone involved in the design, manufacture, or use of metallic surgical implants. It provides detailed guidelines to ensure these products meet the highest standards of safety, performance, and reliability, protecting both patients and medical practitioners.

Key Technical Specifications

• Specifies requirements for the chemical composition of metallic materials, including permitted impurities and trace elements.
• Outlines mechanical property requirements such as tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness.
• Defines testing methods and acceptance criteria for evaluating the physical and mechanical characteristics of metallic implant materials.
• Covers a range of commonly used alloys, including stainless steels, cobalt-chromium alloys, titanium and its alloys, and more.

Ensuring Compliance and Regulatory Approval

Compliance with BS ISO 5832-4:2014 is essential for medical device manufacturers seeking to obtain regulatory approval and market their products globally. This standard is harmonized with the European Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) and is widely recognized as a benchmark for quality and safety in the healthcare technology industry.
