BS EN 285:2006+A1:2008 Sterilization. Steam sterilizers. Large sterilizers

BS EN 285 has been revised to reference the relationship between the standard and Directive 93/42/EEC on medical devices. The Relevant Essential Health and Safety Requirements from Directive 2006/42/EC on machinery are also addressed by the revised version of BS EN 285.

BS EN 285 is an amended standard that specifies the requirements and the relevant tests for large steam sterilizers primarily used in health care for the sterilization of medical devices and their accessories contained in one or more sterilization modules.

The test loads described in BS EN 285 are selected to represent the majority of loads (i.e. wrapped goods consisting of metal, rubber and porous materials) for the evaluation of general purpose steam sterilizer for medical devices. However, specific loads (e.g. heavy metal objects or long and/or narrow lumen) will require the use of other test loads.

Large steam sterilizers can also be used during the commercial production of medical devices.

BS EN 285 is not applicable to steam sterilizers designed to process a size of load less than one sterilization module or having a chamber volume less than 60 l.

BS EN 285 does not describe a quality assurance system for the control of all stages of the manufacture of the sterilizer.

Attention is drawn to the standards for quality management systems e.g. BS EN ISO 13485.

Environmental impact of product

BS EN 285 addresses the environmental aspects of steam sterilisers. Planning and design of products applying to this European Standard should consider the environmental impact from the product during its life cycle. Additional aspects of environmental impact are addressed in BS EN ISO 14971, the international Standard that covers risk management for medical devices.
