ISO 15223-1 is a crucial standard for medical device manufacturers, providing symbols to convey information about devices without relying on text. This minimizes translation needs, frees up label space, and meets various regulatory requirements. On March 5, 2025, ISO 15223-1:2021/Amd 1:2025 introduced a significant change to the Authorized Representative symbol, altering the [EC] part of the symbol to [XX]. This change allows the symbol to be used globally, not just within the European Union, by replacing [XX] with country codes or other recognized text.
