Hi,

Can anybody direct me to the correct label symbol to be used for steam sterilisation and what is the ISO standard that is normally used.

Many thanks

Here's a good link:

ISO15223 and EN980 are your standards.

A steam sterilization symbol will be the word STERILE in a box with a thermometer graphic next to it. Follow the link or do a search on those two standards and you'll see it.

Note I'm not advocating using this site's prodcuts, I am simply providing it as an idea of what they look like.

Also if you do a google search on ISO 7000-2503 you will come up with a link to a draft of the ISO15223 document. It was the first of 3 links for me.

Can anybody direct me to the correct label symbol to be used for steam sterilisation and what is the ISO standard that is normally used.
I attach the image from EN980 for both moist and dry heat. When you ask which standard is normally used do you also want the reference 17665:2006, the ISO standard for moist heat sterilization of medical devices?
