Biotechnology - Performance criteria for vessels - Part 1: General performance criteria
This European Standard specifies performance criteria for vessels 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 the equipment 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 1: Allgemeine Leistungskriterien
1 Anwendungsbereich
Diese Europäische Norm legt Leistungskriterien für die in biotechnischen Verfahren verwendeten Behäl-
ter 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 der Geräte und Ausrüstungen den
Gebrauch gefährlicher oder potentiell gefährlicher Mikroorganismen in biotechnischen Verfahren ein-
schließt, oder wenn die Exposition der Beschäftigten oder der Umwelt gegenüber solchen Mikroorganis-
men aus Sicherheitsgründen eingeschränkt wird.
Biotechnologie - Critères de performance des récipients - Partie 1: Critères généraux de performance
1 Domaine d'application
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les critères de performance des récipients utilisés dans les procédés biotechnologiques par rapport aux 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 l'équipement considéré implique 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.

A glass pressure vessel in the intention of this standard is also constructedcompletely from glass if some parts like top cover and/or bottom and/or connectingdevices are made from different material. A stainless steel vessel containing a glasswindow is not a glass pressure vessel in the intention of this standard.SIST EN 13311-1:2002
