18、6 EN 128849999 6 Classification and verification of performance 6.1 General Centrifuges covered by this European Standard shall be classified in accordance with Tables 1,2 and 3. The performance of centrifuges is determined and verified by the manufacturer or by the user. NOTE 1 Under certain circum

19、stances the user can reclassify the centrifuge. if for example the centrifuge could comply with steriiizability class SI-C but is classified SI-B because the manufacturer has done only a simple test, then the user can reclassify the centrifuge to SI-C if he executes and documents the appropriate tes

20、ts. Tests shall be performed under representative process conditions. To be classied according to this European Standard the centrifuge shall be designed according to EN 2921 If centrifuges are manufactured in accordance with an already classified prototype they are classified in the same class as t

21、he prototype, if: ad -2 and EN 12547. - there is no change in design or materials used or - there are only minor changes that do not affect biosafew. EXAMPLE It is not to be expected that changes in the drum design will have an effect on leakage from the casing. If there are only minor changes that

22、do not affect biosafew, the manufacturer shall document the changes and shall provide evidence to the user that these changes will not result in the need for reclassification. If, for a classified existing centrifuge, parts or components are replaced by other parts or components of similar performan

23、ce class, the overall classification of the centrifuge remains the same. NOTE 2 Verification of classification can for example be done by operating an appropriate qualis assurance system (see annex A FI, 71). The test report shall clearly state the boundaries of the tested object. NOTE 3 Tests may c

24、oncern a centrifuge without any auxiliary equipment or a centrifuge including all the auxiliary equipment needed to run the centrifuge. In practice it can be difficult or impossible to test for example sterilization for a centrifuge with no auxiliary equipment as the effectiveness of the sterilizati

25、on procedure can depend on for example the size, type and position of the auxiliary equipment. 6.2 Leaktightness The centrifuge shall be classified LI-A if no tests are executed to determine the leaktightness. To be classified LI-B or LI-C, the leaktighness of a centrifuge shall be tested in accorda

26、nce with EN 12298. The centrifuge shall be classified in LI-B if the test for U4 has resulted in a leakage above threshold value. An alternative way for classification into clacs LI-B for a centrifuge that is designed to operate in a closed system is to measure the gas leakage rate by the tirned pre

27、ssure drop method in accordance with EN 12298. The test pressure shall be the same as the normal operating pressure. If this is atmospheric pressure then the test shall be done at 4 kPa gauge pressure. The temperature shall be ambient and the test time shall be one hour. The test can be done with th

28、e rotor standing sti. The minimum requirement is that gauge pressure shall not drop more than 15 % during this time. NOTE 1 The requirements above are a minimum that. can be insufficient in many cases. For a centrifuge with a gaq v$iiint of e.g. 100 1 this corresponds to a leakage rate of 17 nia.ni%

29、 or a standardized leakage rate of SLR = 204 mPa.ni.%. The detcction limit with this method depends mainly on how ronstant the temperature can be kept during the test. If the uncertainty in temperature is f 0,5 K this corresponds to a possible pressure decrease of 9 % which means that this classific

30、ation method can not be used if the requirements are high. For centrifuges that have a shaft seal that precludes such a pressure drop test (e.g. gas barrier seal), the test can be done for casing only without the rotor fitted and the opening for the shaft blocked. In such cases the shaft seal shall

31、be classified separately according to EN 12690. In any case where the containment can be broken if the supply of some service media to the centrifuge fails, this shall be clearly stated in the documentation for use. Other methods to get a quantitative measurement of the gas leakage rate can also be

32、used for classification into class LI-B. Guidance of such methods are given in EN 12298 and prEN 1779 (see annex A 4). The measured leakage rate shall not be higher than the calculated leakage rate for a pressure drop of 15 96 in gauge pressure at the conditions given above. NOTE 2 The leakage of mi

33、croorganisms is not always rela(cd to the gas leakage rate. NOTE 3 Test methods with biological, chemical or physical indicators can also be used for classification into class LI-C: provided a validated correlation exists between such tests and tests with inoculation of a mobile microorganism. 6.3 C

34、leanability The centrifuge shall be classified CI-A if no tests are executed to determine the cleanability or if there is visible soil after a cleaning procedure. To be Classified CI-B or CI-C, the cleanability of a centrifuge shall be tested in accordance with EN 12296. Alternatively the centrifuge

35、 can be classified in CI-B if it is designed according to EN 1672-2 and if the surface roughness of the rneta.Uk material applied in the centrifuge is less than or equal to Ra = 1,6 pm (defined according to EN IS0 4287 and measured according to EN IS0 4288) on internal product contact areas. NOTE 1

36、An electrochemical surface treatment of metallic materials is preferable to a mechanical polish because it produces a smoother surface even if the Ra values are the same. During this type of surface treatment, sharp peak and valley contours will he reduced preferentially because of high current rate

37、s at these particular parts. Applicability of electrochemical treai.nient can depend on the type of material in use. O BSI 06-1999 Documentation containing information about surface roughness for different surfaces and drawings showing how well the design conforms to EN 1672-2 shall be included. Dev

38、iations from the design requirements above shall be pointed out and the reasons for the deviations shall be explained. NOTE 2 A low surface roughness on surfaces where soil is pressed to the surface by high centrifugal force gives no assurance that the cleaning result will be good. Other design crit

39、eria such as e.g. the angle between the rotation axis and the surface can be more important. The composition of the media has also a large influence on the cleaning. When a certain microorganism is harvested, the cleaning can be in class CI-C if the microorganism is grown in molasses. Another parame

40、ter that has a high influence on the cleaning result is how long time the soil has been pressed against the surface. NOTE 3 A centrifuge that has to be opened for cleaning is always classified into class CI-A. NOTE 4 Test methods with biological, chemical or physical indicators can also be used for

41、classification into class CI-C provided a validated correlation exists between such tests and tests with inoculation of a motile microorganism. 6.4 Sterilizability The centrifuge shall be classified SI-A if no tests are executed to determine the sterilizabiliQ. To be classified SI-B or SI-C, the ste

42、rilizability of a centrifuge shall be tested in accordance with EN 12297. The inactivation or sterilization procedure shall be in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. An alternative way for classification into class SI-B is to venfy the sterilization procedure with biological, chemical

43、 or physical indicators. The indicators shall be placed at various positions inside the drum and casing. The test report shall specify the properties of the indicators, how they have been positioned and the result for each indicator. NOTE Test methods with biological, chemical or physical indicators

44、 can also be used for classification into class SI-C provided a validated correlation exists between such tests and tests with inoculation of a motile microorganism. Page 7 EN 12884:19!39 7 Marking and packaging Each centrifuge shall be marked in such a way that its performance with regard to cleamb

45、iiQ, sterilizabiity, leaktightness can be verified If it is not practical to mark a centrifuge or a component of the centnfuge (e.g. due to its size or nature) the packaging shall be marked. An unmarked centrifuge or package sha be classified LI-A, SI-A NOTE This marhg could be for example trade mar

46、k, type number, year of production. and CI-A. 8 Documentation The manufacturer or supplier shd provide the documentation required by EN 12547. The manufacturer or supplier shall provide a written manual which details the operating procedures which enable the centrifuges to perform in accordance with

47、 its specified classification for cleanabiiity, steriizabiiity and leaktighlness. The user shall keep documentation which demonstrates the current perfomce of the centrifuge and its verification.
