1 Scope

This document specifies the requirements and test methods for test microorganisms, bacterial suspensions, contaminated carriers and biological indicators to be used in evaluating the performance of sterilizers and sterilization processes. The sterilizers and sterilization processes use dry hot air with a sterilization temperature range of 120 C ~ 180 C. NOTE 1.for validation and routine control of dry heat sterilization processes, see ISO 20857. NOTE 2.for workplace safety, refer to relevant national or regional regulations.
