UNE-EN ISO 16021:2024

This document provides guidelines for designing and conducting an evaluation of single-use adult

incontinence absorbing products. It provides guidance on creating data collection tools. In particular, it

provides a framework for eliciting and recording the views of users and their carers on the acceptability

of products. In addition, a product diary is described which can help to quantify some parameters of

product use, such as wear times, the mass of urine absorbed by the product and the severity of any

leakage from it.

This document does not cover direct comparison between products based on statistical parameters,

neither does it provide guidance on measuring the clinical efficacy of products: that is available in
