Standards, Certifications & Class Approval

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

Applicable Standards & Certification	Medical dressings are commonly supplied under manufacturer quality systems certified to ISO 13485. Applicable product requirements may include ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, ISO 15223-1 for medical-device symbols and EN 13726 for primary wound-dressing test methods, depending on product type and market.
Class Approval	Individual wound dressings are generally not subject to marine classification approval. Shipboard medical inventory should meet the vessel flag-state, company medical-supply and applicable maritime medical-kit requirements; product regulatory approval depends on the country of supply.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes	Clean and, where appropriate, disinfect the wound according to the vessel medical procedure. Select a suitable sterile size, avoid touching the wound-contact surface, apply without excessive tension and replace according to wound condition and product instructions.
Maintenance Tips	Store sealed dressings in a clean, dry medical locker within the stated temperature range. Protect from moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Check packaging integrity and expiry dates during routine vessel inspections, and rotate stock using first-expiry-first-out control.
Safety Notes	Use sterile dressings only when the package is intact and in date. Wear appropriate gloves and follow onboard medical procedures. Monitor for bleeding, infection, allergic reaction or impaired circulation; seek qualified medical advice for severe or deep injuries.
