BS EN 868 Part 7 of this series of European Standards specifies general requirements and test methods for all packaging materials and systems intended for use as packaging for medical devices which are to be terminally sterilized in their packaging.
This part of the series of EN 868 provides examples of particular requirements and test methods for heat sealable adhesive coated paper manufactured from paper complying with EN 868-6, for use as packaging of medical devices which are to be terminally sterilized with ethylene oxide or irradiation.
It introduces no additional requirements to the general requirements of Part 1 but provides guidance based upon various elements of former, relevant national standards.
As such, the particular requirements included can be used to demonstrate compliance with one or more but not all of the requirements of BS EN 868 Part 1.
