[Superseding IS 5347 (Part 15) : 1997]

Reaffirmed 2023

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 11) which is identical with ISO 5832-11 : 2014 ‘Implants for surgery — Metallic materials — Part 11: Wrought titanium 6-aluminium 7-niobium alloy’ issued by the InternationalOrganization for Standardization (ISO) is to be adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Orthopaedic Instruments Implant and Accessories Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.

This standard supersedes IS 5347 (Part 15) : 1997 ‘Requirements for orthopaedic implants: Part 15 Wrought titanium 8-aluminium 7-niobium alloy’. IS 5347 (Part 15) : 1997 shall now be treated as withdrawn.

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.
