EMDN S01: Devices for Sterilisation and Packaging (Excluding Cat. D - Z)
Complete hierarchy for EMDN group S01 in category S (Sterilisation Devices (Excluding Cat. D - Z)): 17 terminal codes, EMDN v2026. Terminal codes are the ones accepted in a EUDAMED device record.
Registered classes, as of 8 Sep 2026. For each code with at least 20 registrations under a legislation, the chip shows how devices registered in EUDAMED under that code are classed, counted once per primary UDI-DI and kept separate for each legislation. It is not a determination. The class of a device comes from the MDR and IVDR classification rules for its intended purpose. MDD and IVDD classes are the directive classification and can differ from the class the same device would have under MDR or IVDR.

How S01 is structured
The Devices for Sterilisation and Packaging (Excluding Cat. D - Z) branch runs 3 levels deep. 10 entries below are branch headings that group other codes rather than naming a device, so a classification has to resolve all the way down to one of the 17 codes marked terminal.
5 terminal codes are “- Other” entries, 29% of the branch. An “- Other” code is the residual slot for devices its siblings do not name, so it is worth ruling out every specific sibling before settling on one.
The largest sub-branch is S0101 (Sterilisation Pouches), holding 5 of the 17 terminal codes.
Frequently asked questions
- Which S01 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- 17 of the 27 codes listed under S01 (Devices for Sterilisation and Packaging (Excluding Cat. D - Z)) are terminal and can be selected. The other 10 are branch headings that cannot.
- How deep is the S01 hierarchy?
- The S01 branch runs 3 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is S0101 (Sterilisation Pouches), which holds 5 of the 17 terminal codes.
- How many S01 codes are catch-all entries?
- 5 terminal codes under S01 are "- Other" entries, 29% of the branch. The remaining 12 name a specific device type.
