GB/T 19974-2018 Sterilization of health care products.General requirement for characterization of a sterilization agent and the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices
This standard specifies the characteristics of sterilizing factors and the general requirements for the development, validation and routine control of the sterilization process of medical devices. This standard applies to sterilization processes that inactivate microorganisms by physical or chemical methods. This International Standard is to be used by process developers, manufacturers of sterilization equipment, manufacturers of medical devices to be sterilized and organizations responsible for the sterilization of medical devices. This International Standard specifies the elements of a quality management system that should ensure appropriate characterization of sterilizing agents, development, validation, routine monitoring and control of the sterilization process. This standard does not apply to processes that rely solely on physical methods to remove bacteria (such as filtration). This standard does not specify specific inspection steps for microbial inactivation evaluation. This standard does not specify the characteristics of sterilizing factors and the development, validation and routine control requirements of the inactivation process of spongiform encephalopathy pathogens, for example: sheep scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. In particular, some countries have recommended special methods for the handling of materials potentially contaminated with such agents. This standard does not replace or modify published standards for specific sterilization processes.
