This part of BS 2646 specifies requirements for the design, construction, safety and performance of autoclaves for operation with saturated steam and for operation under vacuum (subject to external pressure).<\/p>\n

This part of BS 2646 covers laboratory autoclaves for the sterilization of goods and material which could be infected with organisms, the sterilization of growth media or other materials required for the operation of a laboratory.<\/p>\n

This part of BS 2646 does not apply to sterilizers or disinfectors used for pharmaceutical production or medical purposes directly concerned with patient care.<\/p>\n

\n

NOTE These are covered by BS EN 285 or BS EN 13060 and BS 3970\u20112.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This part of BS 2646 does not apply to autoclaves utilizing a fired pressure vessel.<\/p>\n
