ISO 11137 Radiation Process Validation Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

Radiation process validation is a critical aspect of ensuring the safety and efficacy of medical devices that use ionizing radiation, such as sterilization chambers and radiation therapy equipment. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published ISO 11137, which provides guidelines for demonstrating the effectiveness of radiation processes in achieving the desired level of sterility.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding radiation process validation is governed by various international and national standards. In Europe, the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) requires manufacturers to ensure that their devices meet the requirements of ISO 11137. Similarly, in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published guidelines for radiation sterilization, which are based on ISO 11137.

International and National Standards

The following international and national standards apply to radiation process validation:

  • ISO 11137:2017 - Sterilization of health care products -- Radiation. Part 1: Requirements for development, validation, and routine control of a sterilization process for medical instruments.
  • ASTM E1704-17: Standard Guide for Validation of Radiation Sterilization Processes
  • EN 556-1:2009 - Sterilization indicator materials for the packaging of medicinal products -- Requirements for manufacturers
  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) TS ISO 11137-1:2017
  • Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a non-profit organization that develops and publishes international standards. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is another prominent standard development organization that publishes guidelines for radiation sterilization.

    Evolution of Standards and Update Process

    Standards evolve through a continuous process of review, revision, and update. New editions of standards are published periodically to reflect changes in technology, scientific understanding, or regulatory requirements. Eurolab stays up-to-date with the latest revisions and updates to ensure that our testing services meet the evolving requirements.
