Description of BS 2646-4:1991 1991

This Part of BS 2646 gives guidance on the factors that should be taken into account when devising a schedule for the maintenance of laboratory autoclaves of the types specified in BS 2646-1, i.e. autoclaves for the sterilization of materials and goods including those which may be contaminated with organisms categorized in Hazard Groups 1, 2 and 3 but not Hazard Group 4 (see note 1.)

NOTE 1 The groups of organisms referred to are those listed in "Categorization of pathogens according to hazard and categories of containment" produced by the Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens and published by HMSO.

NOTE 2 The periodic examination of autoclaves as required by legislation (see the foreword) is outside the scope of this standard.

NOTE 3 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
