NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 6) which is identical with ISO 11979-6 : 2014 ‘Ophthalmic implants — Intraocular lenses — Part 6: Shelf-life and transport stability testing’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of Ophthalmic Instruments and Appliances Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.

This Indian Standard is published in several parts. The other parts in this series are:

Part 1 Vocabulary

Part 2 Optical properties and test methods

Part 3 Mechanical properties and test methods

Part 4 Labelling and information

Part 5 Biocompatibility

Part 7 Clinical investigations

Part 8 Fundamental requirements

Part 9 Multifocal intraocular lenses

Part 10 Phakic intraocular lenses

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 the 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’.

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.
