FR Recognition Number 8-609
Standard
ASTM  F2026-23
Standard Specification for Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Polymers for Surgical Implant Applications
Scope/Abstract
1.1 This specification covers polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer in virgin forms (for example, pellets, granules, powder, filaments used in additive manufacturing) and fabri-cated forms. It provides requirements and associated test methods for these thermoplastics when they are to be used in the manufacture of intracorporeal devices such as surgical implants or components of surgical or dental devices.
1.2 The properties included in this specification are those applicable for PEEK polymers only. Indicated properties are for fabricated forms. Materials or forms containing colorants, fillers, processing aids, or other additives, as well as polymer blends which contain PEEK, or reclaimed materials, are not covered by this specification.
1.3 This specification is designed to recommend physical, chemical, and biological test methods to establish a reasonable level of confidence concerning the performance of virgin PEEK polymers for use in medical implant devices.
Extent of Recognition
Complete standard
Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.
Transition Period
FDA recognition of ASTM F2026-17 [Rec# 8-475] will be superseded by recognition of ASTM F2026-23 [Rec# 8-609]. FDA will accept declarations of conformity, in support of premarket submissions, to [Rec# 8-475] until December 20, 2026. After this transition period, declarations of conformity to [Rec# 8-475] will not be accepted.
