SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Section 204 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA) (Public Law 105-115) amended section 514 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360d). Amended section 514 allows FDA to recognize consensus standards, developed by international and national organizations, for use in satisfying portions of device premarket review submissions or other requirements.

In a notice published in the

Federal Register

of February 25, 1998 (63 FR 9561), FDA announced the availability of guidance entitled “Recognition and Use of Consensus Standards.” This notice described how FDA will implement its standards program recognizing the use of certain standards and provided the initial list of recognized standards.

In

Federal Register

notices published on October 16, 1998 (63 FR 55617); July 12, 1999 (64 FR 37546); November 15, 2000 (65 FR 69022); and May 7, 2001 (66 FR 23032), FDA modified its initial list of recognized standards. These notices described the addition, withdrawal, and revision of certain standards recognized by FDA. When these notices were published, the agency maintained “html” and “pdf” versions of the list of “FDA Recognized Consensus Standards.” Both versions were publicly accessible at the agency's Internet site. The agency maintains the current list in a searchable data base accessible to the public. See section V of this document for electronic access information.

II. Discussion of Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List Number: 006

FDA is announcing the addition, withdrawal, correction, and revision of certain consensus standards the agency will recognize for use in satisfying premarket reviews for devices. FDA will incorporate these modifications in the list of “FDA Recognized Consensus Standards” in the agency's searchable data base. FDA will use the term “Recognition List Number: 006” to identify: (1) Supplementary information sheets for standards added to the list for the first time, (2) standards added to replace withdrawn standards, (3) still recognized standards for which minor revisions are made to clarify the application of the standards, and (4) standards withdrawn with no replacement.

At the end of this notice, FDA lists modifications the agency is making that involve: (1) The initial addition of standards not previously recognized by FDA and (2) the addition of standards in conjunction with the withdrawal of other standards that are replaced by these later, amended, or different standards.

In this section, FDA describes: (1) Modifications that involve the withdrawal of standards and their replacement by others, (2) the correction of errors made by FDA in listing previously recognized standards, and (3) the addition of certain recognized standards with revisions to the supplementary information sheets involving changes in significant applications of the standards.

FDA will announce additional modifications and minor revisions to the list of recognized consensus standards, as needed, in the

Federal Register

once a year, or more often, if necessary.

IV. Recommendation of Standards for Recognition by FDA

Any person may recommend consensus standards as candidates for recognition under the new provision of section 514 of the act by submitting such recommendations, with reasons for the recommendation, to the contact person (address above). To be properly considered, such recommendations should contain, at a minimum, the following information: (1) Title of the standard, (2) any reference number and date, (3) name and address of the national or international standards development organization, (4) a proposed list of devices for which a declaration of conformity to this standard should routinely apply, and (5) a brief identification of the testing or performance or other characteristics of the device(s) that would be addressed by a declaration of conformity.
