New Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO/TS 21387 : 2020 ‘Sterilization of medical devices - Guidance on the requirements for the validation and routine processing of ethylene oxide sterilization processes using parametric release’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Hospital Equipment and Surgical Disposable Sectional Committee and after approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’; and

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
