Foreword

This document (EN 12182:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 293 “Assistive products for persons with a disability”, the secretariat of which is held by SIS.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2012, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2012.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

This document supersedes EN 12182:1999.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.

This standard provides one means to demonstrate that assistive products for persons with a a disability, which are also medical devices, conform to the essential requirements outlined in general terms in Annex I of the EU Directive 93/42/EEC. It is not intended to provide a means to show conformity with the requirements of any other directive.

There are three levels of European Standards dealing with assistive products for persons with a disability. These are as follows, with Level 1 being the highest:

Level 1: General requirements for assistive products;

Level 2: Particular requirements for families of assistive products;

Level 3: Specific requirements for types of assistive products.

Levels 2 and 3 may be combined into one single document.

All European Standards produced or currently being developed by CEN/TC 293 are listed in Annex A.

This standard is a Level 1 standard and contains requirements and recommendations which are generally applicable to assistive products for persons with a disability. For certain types of assistive products, these requirements are to be supplemented, modified or replaced by the special requirements of a standard for a particular assistive product (Level 2 or 3).

The Level 2 standards apply to a more restricted set or family of assistive products such as assistive products for walking. The Level 3 standards apply to specific types of assistive products, e.g. elbow crutches and urine collection bags.

Where standards for particular assistive products or groups of assistive products exist (Level 2 or 3), this general standard should not be used alone. The requirements of lower level standards take precedence over higher level standards. Therefore, to address all requirements for a particular assistive product, it is necessary to start with standards of the lowest available level.

European and International Standards for other assistive products for persons with a disability are being or may be developed by other technical committees within CEN/CENELEC, ISO/IEC (e.g. assistive products for hearing) and other organisations. For such assistive products, this Level 1 standard is only applicable if explicitly cited as a normative reference in the particular standard, although it may be used for general guidance within the field of assistive products for persons with a disability.

NOTE 1 Special care is required in applying this general standard to assistive products for which no particular standard exists to ensure that all aspects of safety are covered in the particular circumstances of the use of those assistive products. Guidance is given on aspects of the Essential Requirements of EU Directive 93/42/EEC to assist in this process.

NOTE 2 The use of assistive products may involve undesirable side effects and it is necessary to establish a balance between achieving the desired end result and the risk of such side effects. Hence, in exceptional circumstances, provision is made within this standard for clinical needs to override the requirements of this standard so long as adequate warnings are given.

NOTE 3 This standard calls for technical documentation to be prepared which may be used by manufacturers as part of the technical documentation required by EU Directive 93/42/EEC.

NOTE 4 Where this standard does not fully apply to particular assistive products, contracting parties should consider if appropriate parts of the standard can be used.

According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
