This part applicable to GB 18281 specifies the general requirements for the production, labeling, testing methods and performance of biological indicators (including carrier, test bacteria suspension) and other components intended to confirm and monitor the sterilization cycle. The basic requirements of this part are applicable to other parts of GB 18281. The requirements for biological indicators used in special sterilization processes are specified in other parts of GB 18281. This section applies to biological indicators without special requirements. Not Applicable This section does not apply to detection systems that rely on physical methods to remove microorganisms, such as filtration processes or physical and/or mechanical methods such as the use of washer-disinfectors or circulating steam to remove microorganisms. However, this section shall contain the content of the corresponding microbiological test system.
