28、y for use in carrying out tests on small steam sterilizers, Type B or Type S.prEN 13060 Parts 2 and 4 specify requirements and tests for small steam sterilizers Type B which are intended to process solid products, hollow products, and porous products any of which may be wrapped in one or more layers
29、 of sterilization grade packaging materials (see EN 868) and for small steam sterilizers Type S which may also be specified by the manufacturer of the small steam sterilizer as intended to process hollow products and/or porous products.Small sterilizers unable to accommodate a sterilization module (
30、600 mm x 300 mm x 300 mm) cannot be tested using the tests described in EN 285:1996 for large sterilizers for wrapped goods and porous loads either because the chamber size is unable to accommodate the standard test packs or because the efficacy of the tests is impaired when the test pack occupies a
31、 large proportion of the chamber volume.The indicator systems described in this European Standard are intended to be used, in conjunction with the appropriate process challenge device, to demonstrate the rapid and complete penetration of steam into the process challenge device. The construction of t
32、he process challenge device and the performance of the indicator are designed to ensure that penetration of steam in the load within the sterilizer will provide adequate assurance that steam penetration will occur in routine loads.1 ScopeThis European Standard specifies the performance requirements
33、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 appropriate. The test systems specified are intended
34、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 proce
35、ss 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
36、 the requirements for: a standard process challenge device to be used in the small load test for porous loads in small steam sterilizers; an indicator system for use in the porous load process challenge device. An indicator for this purpose is a ClassB indicator as described in EN 867-1. an indicato
37、r employing an alternative process challenge device equivalent to the porous load process challenge device.The relevant section of this European Standard on hollow instruments specifies the requirements for: hollow load process challenge devices to be used to simulate hollow instrument loads as defi
38、ned in prEN 13060-4; an indicator system, for use in one of the hollow load process challenge device, for assessing steam penetration in a wrapped load of hollow instruments. An indicator for this purpose is a Class B indicator as described in EN 867-1.The process challenge devices described in this
39、 standard are intended for use only in sterilizers of sufficient size to accommodate the process challenge device with no part of the process challenge device closer than 20 mm from the vessel wall; in the case of the porous load process challenge device the total internal volume of the vessel is no

These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references subsequent amendm
