YY/T 1302.2-2015 Physical requirements and microbiological performance of ethylene oxide sterilization—Part 2:Microbiological aspects
Basic Information
Scope
This part of YY/T 1302 specifies the process definition, validation, and maintenance of process effectiveness for the microbiological aspects of ethylene oxide sterilization.
This part applies to the ethylene oxide sterilization process of medical devices and other related products or materials, and provides solutions to various microbiological issues in the development and validation of the ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization process. This part also provides additional application guidelines for medical device manufacturers who adopt ISO 11135-1:2007 and ISO/TS 11135-2:2008 standards, including manufacturers who use outsourced sterilization plants or outsourced sterilization operations.
This part of YY/T 1302 does not include various factors that may affect the product's biological load and the sterilization process.
