Helge,
Thanks for the clarification and you are absolutely correct. I should have clarified that this symbol is for Date of Manufacture. Gary, There is not an ISO/IEC symbol for just "Manufacturer" that I am aware of. However, in the EU for medical devices under the MDD, EN 980 (2008) does contain a "Manufacturer" symbol (clause 5.12) which is identical to ISO 7000-2497 with the difference being all black instead of black/white. EN 980 is harmonized under the MDD. Here is the associated text to 5.12: "This symbol shall be accompanied by the name and the address of the manufacturer (the person placing the device on the market), adjacent to the symbol (see A.6). The address is not required with the symbol on an in vitro diagnostic device immediate container as specified in EN 375, EN 376, EN 591 and EN 592, except when the immediate container is also the outer container. Guidance on the requirements for Council Directive 90/385/EEC and Council Directive 93/42/EEC is given in EN 1041. NOTE 1 The relative size of the symbol and the size of the name and address are not specified. NOTE 2 The full definition of 'manufacturer' is given in Council Directives 90/385/EEC, 93/42/EEC and 98/79/EC. NOTE 3 The date of manufacture as well as the name and address of the manufacturer can be combined in one symbol (see A.7)." Hope that helps.
