Non-biological systems for use in sterilizers - Part 5: Specification for indicator systems and process challenge devices for use in performance testing for small sterilizers Type B and Type S
This European Standard specifies the performance requirements and test methods for non-biological indicator systems, including the process challenge devices within which they are intended to function, to be used for testing the steam penetration performance of small steam sterilizers, Type B or Type S where ap-propriate. The test systems specified are intended for use only in small steam sterilizers Type B conforming to prEN 13060-2 and having a usable chamber space greater than 10 l and for small steam sterilizers Type S conforming to prEN 13060-4 also having a usable chamber space greater than 5 l. Non-biological indicator systems and the associate process challenge devices are specified for various types of load. The possible loads are considered in two classes: Porous loads, which can be wrapped or unwrapped, or hollow instrument loads, which also can be wrapped or unwrapped. The relevant section of this European Standard on porous loads specifies the requirements for: - a standard process challenge device to be used in the small load test for porous loads in small stea
