It is not applicable to combination processes using, for example, washer-disinfectors or flushing and steaming of pipelines.

It does not specify requirements for the selection and use of biological indicators intended to monitor vaporised hydrogen peroxide processes for isolator and room biodecontamination processes at atmospheric pressure.
