GB/T 18280.3-2015Sterilization of health care products -- Radiation -- Part 3: Guidance on dosimeter aspects (English PDF)

Foreword

GB 18280 consists of the following parts, under the general title Sterilization of health

care products - Biological indicators.

- Part 1. Requirements for development, validation and routine control of a

sterilization process for medical devices;

- Part 2. Establishing the sterilization dose;

- Part 3. Guidance on dosimetric aspects.

This Part is Part 3 of GB 18280.

This Part is drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.

This Part partly replaces GB 18280-2000 "Sterilization of health care products -

Requirement for validation and routine control - Radiation sterilization". Compared with

GB 18280-2000, this Part was developed from Annex C of GB 18280-2000, main

technical content changes in this Part are as follows.

- ADD the introduction to sterilization dose;

- ADD the requirements for Installation Qualification, Operational Qualification

and Performance Qualification;

- ADD the requirements for routine monitoring and control.

This Part uses translation method to identically adopt ISO 11137-3.2006 "Sterilization

of health care products - Radiation - Part 3. Guidance on dosimetric aspects" (English

version).

China's documents that are identical to the International documents normatively

referenced in this Part are as follows.

Part 3. Guidance on dosimetric aspects

1 Scope

This Part of GB/T 18280 gives guidance on the requirements in GB 18280 parts 1 and

2 relating to dosimetry. Dosimetry procedures related to the development, validation

and routine control of a radiation sterilization process are described.
