who elect to declare conformity with consensus standards to meet
certain requirements for medical devices.
DATES: Submit either electronic or written 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: An electronic copy of Recognition List Number: 038 is
available on the Internet at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Standards/ucm123792.htm. See section VI of
this document for electronic access to the searchable database for the
current list of FDA recognized consensus standards, including
Recognition List Number: 038 modifications and other standards related
information.
Submit written requests for a single copy of the document entitled
``Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List
Number: 038'' to the Division of Industry and Consumer Education,
Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food and Drug
Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 66, Rm. 4613, Silver

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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, can be accessed at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Standards/ucm123792.htm.
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 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: 038
FDA is announcing the addition, withdrawal, correction, and
revision of certain consensus standards the Agency will recognize for
use in premarket submissions 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: 038'' to identify these current
modifications.
In table 1, FDA describes the following modifications: (1) The
withdrawal of standards and their replacement by others, if applicable;
(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, 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 revisions described in this notice into the database and, upon
publication in the Federal Register, this recognition of consensus

Federal Regulations citations, and product codes.
