TC 102 / WG 8 Performance requirements and testing for washer-disinfectors

To prepare performance requirements and test methods for washer-disinfectors that are intended to be used for washing and disinfection of re-usable articles contaminated by humans or animal products generated in medical, dental, pharmaceutical and veterinary establishments. The disinfection process options include thermal, chemical and combined thermal/chemical. Microbiological efficiency tests of chemical disinfectants intended for the disinfection of re-usable medical devices are the responsibility of CEN/TC 215. Safety requirements for washer-disinfectors are the responsibility of IEC/TC66/WG 7 and are given in EN61010 part 1 and in the current work item IEC 1010-2045.
