This European Standard specifies symbols for use in the information supplied by the manufacturer with medical devices. The requirements of this European Standard are not intended to apply to symbols specified in other standards. However, every effort should be made to prevent the specifying of different symbols with the same meaning. This standard does not specify the requirements for information to be supplied with medical devices, which are addressed by EN 375, EN 376, EN 591, EN 592 and EN 1041.
