NF EN ISO 11138-4
Sterilization of health care products - Biological indicators - Part 4 : biological indicators for dry heat sterilization processes
ISO 11138-4:2017 specifies requirements for test organisms, suspensions, inoculated carriers, biological indicators and test methods intended for use in assessing the performance of sterilization processes employing dry heat as the sterilizing agent at sterilizing temperatures within the range of 120 °C to 180 °C. NOTE 1 Requirements for validation and control of dry heat sterilization processes are provided by ISO 20857. NOTE 2 Requirements for work place safety can be provided by national or regional regulations.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.
