[Docket No. FDA-2004-N-0451]
Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997:
Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List
Number: 029
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a
publication containing modifications the Agency is making to the list
of standards FDA recognizes for use in premarket reviews (FDA
recognized consensus standards). This publication, entitled
``Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List
Number: 029'' (Recognition List Number: 029), will assist manufacturers
who elect to declare conformity with consensus standards to meet
certain requirements for medical devices.
DATES: Submit written or electronic comments concerning this document
at any time. See section VII of this document for the effective date of
the recognition of standards announced in this document.
ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for single copies of ``Modifications
to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List Number: 029'' to
the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer
Assistance, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food and Drug
Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 66, Silver Spring, MD
20993. Send two self-addressed adhesive labels to assist that office in
processing your requests, or fax your request to 301-847-8149. Submit
written comments concerning this document, or recommendations for
additional standards for recognition, to the contact person (see FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). Submit electronic comments by email:
[email protected]. This document may also be accessed on FDA's
Internet site at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Standards/ucm123792.htm. See section
[[Page 50115]]
VI of this document for electronic access to the searchable database
for the current list of FDA recognized consensus standards, including
Recognition List Number: 029 modifications and other standards related
information.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott A. Colburn, Center for Devices
and Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 66, Rm. 3628, Silver Spring, MD 20993, 301-796-
6574.
I. Background
Section 204 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act
of 1997 (FDAMA) (Pub. L. 105-115) amended section 514 of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C 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 a guidance entitled
``Recognition and Use of Consensus Standards.'' The notice described
how FDA would implement its standard recognition program and provided
the initial list of recognized standards.
Modifications to the initial list of recognized standards, as
published in the Federal Register, are identified in table 1 of this
document.

These notices describe the addition, withdrawal, and revision of
certain standards recognized by FDA. The Agency maintains ``hypertext
markup language (HTML)'' and ``portable document format (PDF)''
versions of the list of ``FDA Recognized Consensus Standards.'' Both
versions are publicly accessible at the Agency's Internet site. See
section VI of this document for electronic access information.
Interested persons should review the supplementary information sheet
for the standard to understand fully the extent to which FDA recognizes
the standard.
II. Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List
Number: 029
FDA is announcing the addition, withdrawal, correction, and
revision of certain consensus standards the Agency will recognize for
use in satisfying premarket reviews and other requirements for devices.
FDA will incorporate these modifications in the list of FDA Recognized
Consensus Standards in the Agency's searchable database. FDA will use
the term ``Recognition List Number: 029'' to identify these current
modifications.
In table 2 of this document, FDA describes the following
modifications: (1) 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 changes to the supplementary
information sheets of recognized standards that describe revisions to
the applicability of the standards.
In section III of this document, FDA lists modifications the Agency
is making that involve the initial addition of standards not previously
recognized by FDA.

IV. List of Recognized Standards
FDA maintains the Agency's current list of FDA recognized consensus
standards in a searchable database that may be accessed directly at
FDA's Internet site at http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfStandards/search.cfm. FDA will incorporate the modifications
and minor revisions described in this notice into the database and,
upon publication in the Federal Register, this recognition of consensus
standards will be effective. 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.
V. 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 FD&C Act by
submitting such recommendations, with reasons for the recommendation,
to the contact person (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). 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
[[Page 50121]]
the device(s) that would be addressed by a declaration of conformity.
VI. Electronic Access
You may obtain a copy of ``Guidance on the Recognition and Use of
Consensus Standards'' by using the Internet. CDRH maintains a site on
the Internet for easy access to information including text, graphics,
and files that you may download to a personal computer with access to
the Internet. Updated on a regular basis, the CDRH home page includes
the guidance as well as the current list of recognized standards and
other standards-related documents. After publication in the Federal
Register, this notice announcing ``Modification to the List of
Recognized Standards, Recognition List Number: 029'' will be available
on the CDRH home page. You may access the CDRH home page at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices.
You may access ``Guidance on the Recognition and Use of Consensus
Standards,'' and the searchable database for ``FDA Recognized Consensus
Standards'' at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Standards.
This Federal Register document on modifications in FDA's
recognition of consensus standards is available at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Standards/ucm123792.htm
VII. Submission of Comments and Effective Date
Interested persons may submit to the contact person (see FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) either electronic or written comments
regarding this document. It is no longer necessary to send two copies
of mailed comments. Comments are to be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document. FDA will
consider any comments received in determining whether to amend the
current listing of modifications to the list of recognized standards,
Recognition List Number: 029. These modifications to the list of
recognized standards are effective upon publication of this notice in
the Federal Register.
