IS 19223 : 2025/ISO 13782 : 2019 Implants for Surgery - Metallic Materials - Unalloyed Tantalum for Surgical Implant Applications
(Superseding IS 5347 (Part 17) : 2002)
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard which is identical to ISO 13782 : 2019 'Implants for surgery - Metallic materials - Unalloyed tantalum for surgical implant applications' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Orthopaedic Instruments, Implants and Accessories Sectional Committee and after approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.
This standard supersedes IS 5347 (Part 17) which was first published in 2002 and was identical to ISO 13782 : 1996 'Implants for surgery - Metallic materials - Unalloyed tantalum for surgical implant applications'.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and 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.
