1 Scope

This document specifies the requirements for test microorganisms, bacterial suspensions, contaminated carriers, biological indicators and test methods intended for evaluating the performance of moist heat as a sterilization factor in the sterilization processes. NOTE 1.requirements for validation and routine control of moist heat sterilization are given in ISO 17665. NOTE 2.regulations in some countries or regions may have provided the safety requirements for workplaces.

2 Normative References

The contents of the following documents constitute indispensable clauses of this document through the normative references in the text. In terms of references with a specified date, only versions with a specified date are applicable to this document. In terms of references without a specified date, the latest version (including all the modifications) is applicable to this document. GB/T 18281.1-2024 Sterilization of Health Care Products - Biological Indicators - Part 1. General Requirements (ISO 11138-1.2017, IDT) ISO 11138-1 Sterilization of Health Care Products - Biological Indicators - Part 1.General Requirements ISO 18472 Sterilization of Health Care Products - Biological and Chemical Indicators - Test Equipment NOTE. GB/T 24628-2009 Sterilization of Health Care Products - Biological and Chemical Indicators - Test Equipment (ISO 18472.2006, IDT)

3 Terms and Definitions

The terms and definitions defined in ISO 11138-1 are applicable to this document. The URLs of the terminology databases maintained by ISO and IEC for standardization are as follows. b) Sterilization factor. dry saturated steam. If the biological indicator is used in a moist heat sterilization process without the use of dry saturated steam, for example, an air / steam mixture is used, an appropriate air / steam mixture should be selected and indicated to distinguish it from this document. c) Maximum exposure temperature. specified by the manufacturer; if not specified by the manufacturer, 140 C shall be used; d) Exposure time.  30 min. NOTE. while within the practical limitations of the moist heat sterilization processes, the exposure conditions also need to represent realistic challenges for the carriers.

8 Contaminated Carriers and Biological Indicators

The requirements of ISO 11138-1 apply.

9 Bacterial Count and Resistance

9.1 The manufacturer shall declare that the resistance characteristics of the biological indicators meet the requirements of 6.4 in GB/T 18281.1-2024. 9.2 The increment of each unit of viable bacteria on the biological indicators shall be specified as integer multiples of  0.1  10n (for example, per milliliter of bacterial suspension, per contaminated carrier or per biological indicator). 9.3 The viable bacterial count of the contaminated carriers and the biological indicators shall be  1.0  105. 9.4 Resistance shall be expressed as the D value at 121 °C in minutes (min). The manufacturer may select other temperatures. The D value of each batch of biological indicators or contaminated carriers shall be specified as the D value [in minutes (min)] at 121 °C, with one decimal place retained. 9.5 When tested in accordance with Appendix A, the D value at 121 C of the bacterial suspensions containing Bacillus stearothermophilus spores, the contaminated carriers or other biological indicators shall be  1.5 min. Other microorganisms shall have a D value that supports their application. The z value of the test microorganisms in the bacterial suspensions, and on the contaminated carriers and the biological indicators shall be determined at no less than 3 temperature points within 110 °C ~ 138 °C. These data are used to calculate the z value, which shall be  6 C (in accordance with Appendix B). 9.6 The resistance characteristics specified in this document and other parts of ISO 11138 shall be defined using the specific key variables of the sterilization processes used. 9.7 The D value is determined in accordance with the methods in Appendix C and Appendix D ......
