ISO 15883-7:2016 also specifies performance requirements for cleaning and disinfection of the washer disinfector and its components and accessories, which may be necessary to achieve the required performance. Devices identified in the scope of ISO 15883-2, ISO 15883-3, ISO 15883-4 and ISO 15883-6 are outside the scope of this part of ISO 15883. This document also specifies the methods, instrumentation and instructions necessary for type testing, operational testing, validation (installation qualification, operational qualification and performance qualification during the first installation), routine control and monitoring, as well as requalifications to be carried out periodically and after major repairs. NOTE LDs covered by this part of ISO 15883 may also be used for cleaning and chemical disinfection of other reusable temperature-sensitive devices, according to the recommendations of the device manufacturer. The performance requirements specified in this part of ISO 15883 cannot guarantee the inactivation or elimination of the pathogen(s) (prion protein) causing transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.
