The ISO 5832 standard is a series of ISO standards and specifies properties and test methods for forgeable , cold-formable and rust-proof metallic materials that are used for the manufacture of surgical implants . The individual parts of the standard also define properties for forged bars, rods and wires. None of the known materials is free from negative reactions in the human body , but the parts of ISO 5832 show that an acceptable risk of biological reactions in the human organism can be assumed.

ISO 5832 is published in Germany as the DIN standard DIN ISO 5832. The first drafts of the European standard EN ISO 5832 are available.

ISO 5832 consists of several parts:

ISO 5832-1 stainless steel

ISO 5832-2 Unalloyed titanium

ISO 5832-3 titanium aluminum-6 vanadium-4 wrought alloy

ISO 5832-4 cobalt- chromium-molybdenum cast alloy

ISO 5832-5 cobalt-chromium-tungsten-nickel forged alloy

ISO 5832-6 cobalt-nickel-chromium-molybdenum forged alloy

ISO 5832-7 forgeable and cold-formable cobalt-chromium-nickel-molybdenum-iron alloy

ISO 5832-8 cobalt-nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten-iron forged alloy

ISO 5832-9 Forged, highly embroidered stainless steel

ISO 5832-10 titanium wrought alloys (Ti 5-Al 2,5-Fe) (was withdrawn without replacement)

ISO 5832-11 titanium aluminum-6 wrought niobium-7 alloy

ISO 5832-12 cobalt-chromium-molybdenum forged alloy

ISO 5832-13 unalloyed tantalum (was withdrawn without replacement)

ISO 5832-14 titanium molybdenum-15 zirconium-5 aluminum-3 wrought alloy
