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.
