Annex A (normative) - Method for determination
of resistance to ethylene oxide
sterilization
Annex B (informative) - Rationale for the inclusion
of a second minimum D value specification
as a result of changes to the test gas used
to evaluate resistance and deletion of the
requirement for a minimum D value at
30 degrees C
Bibliography
Describes requirements for test organisms, suspensions, inoculated carriers, biological indicators and test methods intended for use in assessing the performance of sterilizers and sterilization processes employing ethylene oxide gas as the sterilizing agent, either as pure ethylene oxide gas or mixtures of this gas with diluent gases, at sterilizing temperatures within the range of 29 degrees C to 65 degrees C.
