PTB was chosen by 10MD to perform conformity assessment services on SafeTex as a basis for European and international market access.

According to conformity tests performed by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, TeXray has relevant lead equivalent thickness and fulfils the technical requirements of the standard EN 61331-1. Tests according to the standard IEC 61331-1 to apply to materials used for the manufacturing of protective devices against X-radiation of radiation qualities generated with X-ray. The IEC 61331-1 standard has been adopted as the European standard under the designation EN 61331-1. The attenuation properties are given in terms of attenuation ratio and an indication of homogeneity.
