[Docket No. 98D-0085]
FDA Modernization Act of 1997: Guidance for the Recognition and
Use of Consensus Standards; Availability
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is: (1) Announcing the
availability of a guidance entitled ``Guidance on the Recognition and
Use of Consensus Standards,'' the purpose of which is to provide
guidance to industry and reviewers within the Center for Devices and
Radiological Health (CDRH) on the use of recognized consensus
standards, including declarations of conformity to the standards,
during the evaluation of premarket submissions for medical devices; (2)
publishing the initial list of standards that will be recognized for
use in the premarket review process; and (3) announcing the agency's
policy on updating the list of recognized standards. This guidance will
assist manufacturers who elect to declare conformity with consensus
standards to meet all or part of medical device review requirements.
DATES: This guidance is effective on February 19, 1998; however,
written comments concerning this guidance may be submitted at any time.
ADDRESSES: Written comments concerning this guidance must be submitted
to the first contact person listed below. Comments should be identified
with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this
document. Submit written requests for single copies of ``Recognition
and Use of Consensus Standards'' to the Division of Small Manufacturers
Assistance (DSMA), Center for Devices and Radiological Health (HFZ-
220), Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., Rockville, MD
20850. Send two self-addressed adhesive labels to assist that office in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Many domestic and international consensus standards address
relevant aspects of safety and/or effectiveness of medical devices.
Many of these consensus standards have been developed with the
participation of FDA staff. Section 204 of the Food and Drug
Administration Modernization Act of 1997, Pub. L. 105-115, 111 Stat.
2296 (1997) (FDAMA) amends section 514 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360d), allowing the agency to
recognize consensus standards established by international and national
standards development organizations that may be used to satisfy
identified portions of device review requirements. This notice
announces the availability of a guidance document entitled ``Guidance
on the Recognition and Use of Consensus Standards,'' which describes
how FDA will implement that part of the FDAMA.
The agency has adopted Good Guidance Practices (GGP's), which set
forth the agency's policies and procedures for the development,
issuance, and use of guidance documents (62 FR 8961, February 27,
1997). Although ``Guidance on the Recognition and Use of Consensus
Standards'' is Level 1 guidance under the GGP's, this guidance will
become effective upon issuance. Under the GGP's the agency may elect
not to solicit public comment prior to implementation when there is a
new statutory requirement * * * that requires immediate implementation
and guidance is needed to help effect such implementation'' (62 FR 8961
at 8968). However, comments may be submitted at any time by interested
parties, and these comments will be considered in any future revisions
to the guidance.
This guidance document may contain collections of information that
require OMB clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. FDA
will seek such approval and provide an opportunity for comment, as
appropriate.
II. Use of Recognized Standards
A person required to submit a premarket application (i.e.,
Premarket Notification (510(k)), Investigational Device Exemptions
application (IDE), Premarket Approval application (PMA), Humanitarian
Device Exemption application (HDE), or Product Development Protocol
(PDP)) must provide information as required by the statute and
regulations to allow FDA to make an appropriate decision regarding the
clearance or approval of the submission. This guidance document
describes how FDA will recognize consensus standards and use
conformance with recognized standards to satisfy review requirements.
It does not affect FDA's ability to obtain any information authorized
by the statute or regulations. Use of consensus standards in this
manner is authorized by section 514 of the act, as amended by FDAMA.
FDA believes that conformance with applicable recognized consensus
standards can provide a reasonable assurance of safety and/or
effectiveness for many devices. Therefore, information submitted on
conformance with such standards will have a direct bearing on
determinations of safety and effectiveness made during the review of
IDE's, HDE's, PMA's, and PDP's. In case of 510(k)s, information on
conformance with recognized consensus standards may help establish the
substantial equivalence of a new device to a legally marketed predicate
device. This information can serve as a surrogate for comparative
information to show that the new device is as safe and effective as the
predicate in the areas covered by the standards. Moreover, if a
premarket submission contains a declaration of conformity to recognized
consensus standards, this will, in most cases, eliminate the need to
review actual test data for those aspects of the device addressed by
the standards. The content of a declaration of conformity is described
in the guidance document and is consistent with the ISO/IEC Guide 22.
Conformance with recognized consensus standards in and of itself,
however, may not always be a sufficient basis for regulatory decisions.
For example, a specific device may raise a safety or effectiveness
issue not addressed by any standard, or a specific FDA regulation may
require additional information beyond that which conformity to the
recognized consensus standards provides. Under such circumstances,
conformity with recognized standards will not satisfy all requirements
for marketing, or investigating, the product in the United States.
The guidance document, ``Guidance on the Recognition and Use of
Consensus Standards'', represents the agency's current thinking on the
use of recognized consensus standards for medical devices. It does not
create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate
to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such
approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statute,
regulations, or both.
III. List of Recognized Standards
The initial list of consensus standards to be recognized for use in
premarket review is presented at the end of this document. This list is
also maintained on the FDA web site ``http://www.fda.gov/cdrh''. Also
posted on the web site are supplemental data sheets for each recognized
standard. These data sheets list the address(es) where the standard can
be obtained, information on any limitations to the application of the
standard in medical device review, and a list of devices for which
declarations of conformity with the recognized standard will be
routinely accepted by agency reviewers. In addition to these documents,
the web site contains answers to frequently asked questions regarding
the use of recognized standards.
IV. Recommendation of Standards for Recognition by FDA
Modifications to the list of recognized consensus standards related
to medical devices will be announced in the Federal Register at least
once a year, or more often if necessary. FDA intends that the next
revision to the list of recognized standards will include standards to
be recognized by the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research as
well as by CDRH.
Any person may recommend consensus standards as candidates for
recognition under new paragraph of section 514 of the act,
by submitting such recommendations, with justification, to the address
identified at the beginning of this document. 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 nationally or
internationally recognized standards development organization, (4) a
proposed list of devices for which a declaration of conformity should
routinely apply, and (5) a brief identification of the testing or
performance or other characteristics of
[[Page 9563]]
the device(s) that would be addressed by a declaration of conformity.
