(Superseding IS/ISO 7439 : 2015)
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) which is modified adoption of ISO 7439 : 2023 'Copperbearing contraceptive intrauterine devices - Requirements and tests' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Obstetric and Gynaecological Instruments and Appliances Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.
This standard was originally published in 2002 as IS/ISO 7439 : 2002 'Copper-bearing intra-uterine contraceptive devices - Requirements, tests'. The second revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 7493 : 2023.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are however not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
