Comprehensive Guide to ISO 15883-6 Washer-Disinfectors for Baby Bottles and Utensils Laboratory Testing Service

ISO 15883-6 is a widely recognized standard that governs the testing of washer-disinfectors used in the baby bottle and utensil industry. This standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is based on several other standards, including ASTM F2108, EN 14530, and TSE IEC 61010.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The use of washer-disinfectors in the baby bottle and utensil industry is subject to various laws and regulations. In Europe, for example, the European Unions Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) governs the safety and performance requirements for machinery, including washer-disinfectors. Similarly, in the United States, the FDA regulates the use of washer-disinfectors in the baby bottle and utensil industry under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

International and National Standards

Several international and national standards apply to ISO 15883-6 Washer-Disinfectors for Baby Bottles and Utensils testing. These include:

  • ISO 15883-1:2015 - Washer-disinfectors - Requirements for washer-disinfectors

  • ASTM F2108 - Standard Specification for Testing of Commercial Washer/Disinfectors

  • EN 14530 - Safety requirements for washer-disinfectors

  • TSE IEC 61010 - Requirements for the safety and performance of laboratory equipment
