Comprehensive Guide to ISO 11135 Thermal Effects in Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

ISO 11135 is a widely recognized international standard that governs the thermal effects of ethylene oxide sterilization on medical devices and equipment. The standard provides guidelines for the testing of medical products to ensure they are safe and effective after undergoing ethylene oxide sterilization.

The relevant standards that apply to this specific laboratory test include:

  • ISO 11135:2014 - Sterilization of health care products - Ethylene oxide - Particular requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical instruments

  • ASTM E2533-12 - Standard Practice for Evaluation of the Effects of Processing on Medical Devices Exposed to Sterilizing Agents

  • EN 5501:2010 - Medical devices. Application of risk management to medical devices

  • TSE 1568:2015 - Medical devices. Sterilization. Ethylene oxide sterilization

    • These standards are developed and maintained by international organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE).

    The development of these standards involves a collaborative effort between industry stakeholders, regulatory bodies, and technical experts. The standards evolve and get updated to reflect new technologies, scientific advancements, and changing regulatory requirements.
