Foreword
GB/T 19973 "Sterilization of medical devices - Microbiological methods" is
divided into the following 2 parts:
- Part 1: Determination of a population of microorganisms on products;
- Part 2: Tests of sterility performed in the definition, validation and
maintenance of a sterilization process.
This Part is Part 2 of GB/T 19973.
This Part is drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Part replaces GB/T 19973.2-2005 "Sterilization of medical devices -

Sterilization of medical devices - Microbiological
methods - Part 2: Tests of sterility performed in the
definition, validation and maintenance of a
sterilization process
1 Scope
This Part of GB/T 19973 specifies the general criteria for tests of sterility on
medical devices that have been exposed to a treatment with the sterilizing
agent reduced relative to that anticipated to be used in routine sterilization
processing. These tests are intended to be performed when defining, validating
or maintaining a sterilization process.
This Part is not applicable to:
a) sterility testing for routine release of product that has been subjected to a
sterilization process;
b) performing a test for sterility (see 3.12);
Note 1: The performance of a) or b) is not a requirement of ISO 11135-1, ISO 11137-1,
ISO 14160, ISO 14937 or ISO 17665-1.
c) culturing of biological indicators or inoculated products.
Note 2: Guidance on culturing biological indicators is included in ISO 14161.
