Part 1 of this series specifies general requirements and test methods for materials, preformed sterile barri
28、er systems, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems that are intended to maintain sterility of terminally sterilized medical devices to the point of use. Part 2 of this series specifies validation requirements for forming, sealing and assembly processes. General requirements for all types of s
29、terile barrier systems are provided by EN ISO 11607-1. The EN 868 series can be used to demonstrate compliance with one or more of the requirements specified in EN ISO 11607-1. CEN/TC 102/WG 4 also appreciates the initiatives of CEN with regard to the minimization of adverse environmental impacts by
30、 standards. It was agreed that this subject should be given priority during the next edition of the EN ISO 11607 series that is the basic reference for all parts of the EN 868 series. BS EN 868-7:2017EN 868-7:2017 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies test methods and values for sealable ad
31、hesive coated paper manufactured from paper complying with EN 868-6, used as sterile barrier systems and/or packaging systems that are intended to maintain sterility of terminally sterilized medical devices to the point of use. The materials specified in this part are intended to be used for ethylen
32、e oxide or irradiation sterilization. Other than the general requirements as specified in EN ISO 11607-1 and EN ISO 11607-2 this part of EN 868 specifies materials, test methods and values that are specific to the products covered by this European Standard. The materials specified in this part of EN
33、 868 are intended for single use only. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

40、nts 4.1 General For any material, preformed sterile barrier system or sterile barrier system, the requirements of EN ISO 11607-1 shall apply. This part of EN 868 only introduces performance requirements and test methods that are specific to the products covered by this part of EN 868 but does not ad
41、d or modify the general requirements specified in EN ISO 11607-1. As such, the particular requirements in 4.3 can be used to demonstrate compliance with one or more but not all of the requirements of EN ISO 11607-1. NOTE 1 Compliance to EN 8687 does not automatically mean compliance to EN ISO 11607-
42、1. A confirmation of compliance to EN 868-7 shall contain a statement whether EN ISO 11607-1 is covered. NOTE 2 When additional materials are used inside the sterile barrier system in order to ease the organization, drying or aseptic presentation (e.g. inner wrap, container filter, indicators, packi
43、ng lists, mats, instrument organizer sets, tray liners or an additional envelope around the medical device) then other requirements, including the determination of the acceptability of these materials during validation activities, can apply. 4.2 Performance requirements and test methods NOTE 1 See A
44、nnex G for repeatability and reproducibility of the test methods: pore diameters, sulphate content, chloride content and water repellency. For information on statement of precision and/or bias, repeatability and reproducibility of other test methods, see EN ISO 11607-1:2009+A1:2014, Table B.1. NOTE
45、2 Test methods included in Annex D “regularity of seal adhesive coatings on paper”, Annex E “Determination of mass per unit area of uncoated paper and adhesive coating” and Annex F “Determination of seal strength and visual inspection of adhesive coating” have no statement of precision and bias or r
46、epeatability and reproducibility, yet. 4.2.1 When the paper is to be used to manufacture packaging intended to be irradiation sterilized only, it is not necessary for it to have wet strength properties or any permeability to air, so 4.2.12 and 4.2.17 need not apply. 4.2.2 No colour shall leach out o
47、f the paper. Compliance shall be tested by visual examination of a hot aqueous extract prepared in accordance with the method given in ISO 6588-2. 4.2.3 The average mass of 1 m2of the conditioned coated paper when tested in accordance with EN ISO 536 shall be within 7,5 % of the nominal value stated
48、 by the manufacturer. 4.2.4 The pH of an aqueous extract of the coated paper shall be not less than 5 or greater than 8 when tested in accordance with ISO 6588-2, hot extraction method. BS EN 868-7:2017EN 868-7:2017 (E) 8 4.2.5 The chloride content of the paper, calculated as sodium chloride, shall
49、not exceed 0,05 % when tested in accordance with ISO 9197 using an hot extract prepared in accordance with ISO 6588-2:2012, 7.2 except that 2 ml of potassium chloride solution is not added. 4.2.6 The sulphate content of the paper, calculated as sodium sulphate, shall not exceed 0,25 % when tested in accordance with ISO 9198, using an hot extract prepared in accordance with ISO 6588-2:2012, 7.2 except that 2 ml of potassium chloride solution is not added. 4.2.7 When tested in accordance with ISO 2470-2 th
