Implants for surgery, prosthetics and orthotics (ICS code(s): 11.040.40)

Ministerial Decree No. 499 /2023 (4 pages, in Arabic) mandating the Egyptian Standard ES 6786-1 for " Implants for surgery- Metallic skeletal pins and wires- Part 1: General requirements".; (10 page(s), in Arabic)

The Ministerial Decree No. 499 /2023 gives producers and importers a six-month transitional period to abide by the Egyptian standard ES 6786-1 which specifies general requirements for metallic skeletal pins and wires for use in bone surgery, excluding wires for binding and twisting.

This standard cancels and supersedes its last edition issued ES 6786-1/2008

Worth mentioning is that this standard is technically identical with ISO 5838-1/2013
