Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use Part 2-041: particular requirements for autoclaves using steam for the treatment of medical materials, and for laboratory processes
Applies to AUTOCLAVES, including those with an automatic loading and unloading system, which
incorporate a PRESSURE VESSEL using steam within the absolute pressure range from 0 to 500 kPa, and
intended for the treatment of medical materials and for laboratory processes, for example for
sterilization. Where an AUTOCLAVE incorporates a steam generator having its own PRESSURE VESSEL within the same enclosure, the applicable safety requirements for the AUTOCLAVE PRESSURE VESSEL apply also to the steam generator. Not cover pressurized environmental cabinets.
