9、l foreword This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Health Care Standards Policy Committee and is the English language version of EN 592:1994 In vitro diagnostic systems Requirements for user manuals for in vitro diagnostic instruments for home use, published by the Europea
10、n Committee for Standardization (CEN). EN 592 was produced as a result of international discussions in which the United Kingdom took an active part. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct
11、 application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, the EN title page, pages 2 to 6, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been up
12、dated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.
