It does this by \"incorporating by reference\" (legally importing) the technical specifications from **Australian Standard 1808-1984**, which covers manufacturing requirements, materials, sizing, and testing for these medical devices.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n*   **Manufacturers and importers** of contraceptive diaphragms\n*   **Suppliers** who distribute these devices in Australia\n*   **Regulators** (the Therapeutic Goods Administration) who check compliance\n\n**Why it matters:** Diaphragms are medical devices inserted into the body. This Order ensures they meet uniform safety benchmarks to prevent injury, ensure effectiveness, and protect public health. Instead of rewriting technical specifications into law, the legislation simply points to the existing Australian Standard, allowing the rules to be updated through standard-making processes rather than new Acts of Parliament."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/therapeutic-goods-order-no-28-standard-for-contraceptive-devices-diaphragms-10-04-1986","history":"/api/acts/therapeutic-goods-order-no-28-standard-for-contraceptive-devices-diaphragms-10-04-1986/history","analysis":"/api/acts/therapeutic-goods-order-no-28-standard-for-contraceptive-devices-diaphragms-10-04-1986/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/therapeutic-goods-order-no-28-standard-for-contraceptive-devices-diaphragms-10-04-1986/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/therapeutic-goods-order-no-28-standard-for-contraceptive-devices-diaphragms-10-04-1986/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/therapeutic-goods-order-no-28-standard-for-contraceptive-devices-diaphragms-10-04-1986/documents"}}
