Biotechnology - Performance criteria for vessels - Part 5: Kill tanks
This European Standard specifies performance criteria for kill tanks used in biotechnological processes with respect to the potential risks to the worker and the environment from microorganisms in use. This European Standard applies where the intended use of kill tanks includes hazardous or potentially hazardous microorganisms used in biotechnological processes or where exposure of the worker or the environment to such microorganisms is restricted for reasons of safety.
Biotechnik - Leistungskriterien für Behälter - Teil 5: Abtötungsbehälter
1 Anwendungsbereich
Diese Europäische Norm legt Leistungskriterien für bei biotechnischen Verfahren verwendete Abtötungs-
behälter im Hinblick auf potentielle Gefährdungen für die Beschäftigten und die Umwelt fest, die von den
im Verfahren verwendeten Mikroorganismen ausgehen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt, sobald die vorgesehene Anwendung von Abtötungsbehälter den Gebrauch
gefährlicher oder potentiell gefährlicher Mikroorganismen in biotechnischen Verfahren einschließt, oder
wenn die Exposition der Beschäftigten oder der Umwelt gegenüber solchen Mikroorganismen aus
Sicherheitsgründen eingeschränkt wird.
Biotechnologie - Critères de performance des récipients - Partie 5: Cuves de décontamination
Domaine d'application
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les critères de performance des cuves de décontamination utilisées dans les procédés biotechnologiques vis-à-vis des dangers potentiels que les microorganismes utilisés représentent pour l'opérateur et pour l'environnement.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique lorsqu'il est prévu que les cuves de décontamination impliquent l'utilisation de microorganismes dangereux ou potentiellement dangereux dans les procédés biotechnologiques ou lorsque l'exposition de l'opérateur ou de l'environnement à de tels microorganismes est limitée pour des raisons de sécurité.

These standards are:EN 13311-1, Biotechnology - Performance criteria for vessels - Part 1: General performancecriteria.EN 13311-2, Biotechnology - Performance criteria for vessels - Part 2: Pressure protectiondevices.EN 13311-3, Biotechnology - Performance criteria for vessels - Part 3: Glass pressurevessels.EN 13311-4, Biotechnology - Performance criteria for vessels - Part 4: Bioreactors.EN 13311-5, Biotechnology - Performance criteria for vessels - Part 5: Kill tanks.EN 13311-6, Biotechnology - Performance criteria for vessels - Part 6: Chromatographycolumns.Annexes A, B and C are informative.This standard includes a bibliography.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizationsof the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium,Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UnitedKingdom.SIST EN 13311-5:2002
Page 4EN 13311-5:2001IntroductionKill tanks are used to inactivate microorganisms in liquids or slurries by subjecting them tosteam, heat, chemicals
or radiation. Kill tanks are part of the closed system but can be usedas well for treatment of waste water from for example sewers and showers. Kill tanks can becontinuous or batch operated systems. Examples of kill tank systems are given in annex B.Kill tanks are used to inactivate process microorganisms prior to release from the closedsystem or to further downstream processing in uncontained conditions.Use of this European Standard will aid the equipment manufacturer in the classification of killtanks with regard to safe performance in biotechnological processes. The classification iseasily understandable and readily utilizable for the user and the regulatory authorities.1ScopeThis European Standard specifies performance criteria for kill tanks used in biotechnologicalprocesses with respect to the potential hazards to the worker and the environment frommicroorganisms in use.This European Standard applies where the intended use of kill tanks includes hazardous orpotentially hazardous microorganisms used in biotechnological processes or where exposureof the worker or the environment to such microorganisms is restricted for reasons of safety.2Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated references, provisions from otherpublications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, andthe publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to orrevisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only whenincorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of thepublication referred to applies (including amendments).EN 13311-1:2001Biotechnology - Performance criteria for vessels - Part 1 : Generalperformance criteria3Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 13311-1:2001 apply.4HazardsThe following hazards shall be taken into account.a) Release of microorganisms by leakage before or during operation.b) Release of microorganisms by exhaust gases.c) Release of microorganisms caused by insufficient inactivation when the load of the killtank is discharged or further processed or when the kill tank is opened or dismantled.SIST EN 13311-5:2002
Page 5EN 13311-5:20015Performance classesThe kill tanks shall be classified for leaktightness, cleanability and sterilizability inaccordance with 5.1 to 5.4 of EN 13311-1:2001.The selection of the appropriate class for performance of a kill tank shall be made inaccordance with 5.5 of EN 13311-1:2001.6Types of kill tanks6.1Type I kill tankA kill tank meeting the following requirements shall be classified as type I :a)the kill tank shall be capable of bringing its load to time and temperature conditions orother conditions known to destroy or inactivate all target microorganisms in the load ;andb)the kill tank shall have as a minimum the performance rating given in table 1.6.2Type II kill tankA kill tank meeting the following requirements shall be classified as type II :a)the kill tank shall be capable of bringing its load to time and temperature conditions orother conditions known to destroy or inactivate all target microorganisms in the load ;b)the kill tank shall have as a minimum the performance rating given in table 1 ; andc)the kill tank shall have additional containment features which prevent release of livingmicroorganisms to the environment before or during the operating cycle.NOTE 1
Release of microorganisms can occur by the exhaust air escaping from thekill tank while operating temperature and pressure are being reached, or when conden-sate for example from exhaust filters is released during or after the operating cycle.NOTE 2
