European foreword
This document (EN 14222:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 102 “Sterilizers
and associated equipment for processing of medical devices”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2021, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by July 2021.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

this document.
Further to the updating both technically and editorially, the following changes compared to the
previous edition have been made:
— in the title “shell” has been changed to “steam” to read: "stainless steel steam boilers";
— Scope has been refined by replacing "allowable pressure (PS) of 6 bar" by "allowable pressure (PS)
of not greater than 6 bar";
— Introduction added;
— Normative references and Bibliography have been updated;
— alignment of terminology throughout the document;
— definition of “limiter” has been aligned with EN 12953-9 and new definition of "steam boiler" was
introduced;
— requirements on materials have been aligned with new edition of EN 13445-2;
— general requirements for equipment (see 9.1) have been revised, e.g. requirements on materials in

Introduction
EN 14222 is referred to normatively in EN 285:2015 ‘Sterilization – Steam sterilizers – Large sterilizers’
and can be applied to EN 13060:2014+A1:2018 ‘Small steam sterilizers’, two standards developed by
CEN/TC 102 ‘Sterilizers and associated equipment for processing of medical devices’.
During the systematic review of EN 14222:2003 in 2014, CEN/TC 102 identified and expressed that the
standard needed revising to bring it to the state of the art, and hence to enhance the requirements
contained in EN 285:2015 and EN 13060:2014+A1:2018.
This document refers to EN 12953, Shell boilers and EN 13445, Unfired pressure vessels.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for electrically heated steam boilers manufactured from stainless
steel specifically dedicated for generating steam for sterilizers and disinfectors.
This document covers only steam boilers that are heated by immersion heaters and which have a
maximum allowable pressure (PS) of not greater than 6 bar, a maximum volume (V) of 1 000 litres and
a product of PS ∙ V not greater than 3 000 bar ∙ l.
