Part B: Supplementary Information Sheet (SIS)
FR Recognition List Number 060 Date of Entry 05/29/2023 
FR Recognition Number 9-143
Standard
ISO  20696 First edition 2018-06; Corrected 2019-12
Sterile urethral catheters for single use
Scope/Abstract
This document specifies requirements and test methods for sterile urethral catheters for single use, with or without a balloon. This document does not include drainage catheters covered by ISO 20697, e.g. ureteral catheters, nephrostomy catheters, and suprapubic catheters. This document also excludes ureteral stents.
Extent of Recognition
Partial recognition. The following part(s) of the standard is (are) not recognized:
Clause 6.3 and Annex C, Balloon Volume Maintenance
Clause 6.4 and Annex D and I, Deflation Reliability (Failure to Deflate)
Clause 6.5 and Annex E, Flow Rate
Clause 6.6 and Annex F, Balloon Integrity (Resistance to Rupture)
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.

This standard is recognized in part because:
Clause 6.3 and Annex C are in conflict with the test method of an existing published final guidance. See Mechanical Testing, Balloon Volume Maintenance of the guidances (see Ref #1 & #2).
Clause 6.3 and Annex C are in conflict with the test method of an existing recognized standard. See Clause 4.4 and Annex A4, Balloon Volume Maintenance of ASTM F623-19 (Ref #3).
Clause 6.4 and Annex D and I are in conflict with the test method of an existing published final guidance. See Mechanical Testing, Deflation Reliability (Failure to Deflate) of the guidances (see Ref #1 & #2).
Clause 6.4 and Annex D and I are in conflict with the test method of an existing recognized standard. See Clause 4.6 and Annex A6, Deflation Reliability (Failure to Deflate) of ASTM F623-19 (Ref #3).
Clause 6.5 and Annex E are in conflict with the test method and acceptance criteria for French sizes of 12 and 14 in an existing published final guidance. See Mechanical Testing, flow rate through drainage lumen of the guidances(see Ref #1 & #2).
Clause 6.5 and Annex E are in conflict with the test method and acceptance criteria for French sizes of 12 and 14 in an existing recognized standard. See Clause 4.1 and Annex A1, Flow rate through drainage lumen of ASTM F623-19 (Ref #3).
Clause 6.6 and Annex F are in conflict with the test method of an existing published final guidance. See Mechanical Testing, Balloon Integrity (Resistance to Rupture) of the guidances (see Ref #1 & #2).
Clause 6.6 and Annex F are in conflict with the test method of an existing recognized standard. See Clause 4.2 and Annex A2, Balloon Integrity (Resistance to Rupture) of ASTM F623-19 (Ref #3).
