VDI 2017:2025-05 - Draft

The standard defines and describes, what is to be understood by the term "medical grade plastics" and what qualities and demands are decisive for plastics to be used for medicine products. It helps raw material producers and manufacturers of plastic products for medicine products to contribute to a constant recipe, quality, biocompatibility and security of delivery. Before the publication of VDI 2017, no detailed definition existed for the term "medical grade" and the demands for corresponding plastics for medical products were also not defined. The standard defines the demands for plastics for the application in medical products and compiles a standard to be used as a guideline by raw material producers and manufacturers of medical products. The areas of development, logistics, procurement and purchase are equally covered by this standard.
