We have used the "International Safe Transit Association" standard 1A for testing our medical devices. This is for products (in general) weighting up to 100 lbs. This has been accepted by our Notified Body for addressing the "Essential Requirements" within the Medical Device Directive. Hope this helps!

Dear List, Can anyone provide reference to the correct European Standards on length of time service and support must be maintained for a product? (ie. five years, ten years, etc.) Also, what are the appropriate EN documents relating to the vibration and shock that instruments must withstand during shipment and normal use? The product family is laboratory instrumentation. Many thanks for your assistance.
