Specifies requirements for flexible packaging systems used for packaging items for patient care intended to be sterilized in hospitals by saturated steam under pressure or by ethylene oxide.

This Standard specifies requirements for flexible packaging systems used for packaging items for patient care and intended to be sterilized in hospitals by saturated steam under pressure or by ethylene oxide. The systems for single use may be formed from a single web of paper or plastics, or by bonding (laminating) two or more layers of paper or plastics together. NOTE: Paper bags for hospital use are described in AS 1079.3.
