SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026 is the Slovenian adoption of CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026, a technical specification published by SIST for reusable medical devices. It gives guidance on assigning reusable medical devices to cleaning classification categories and on designating a cleaning process for those categories. The document is intended for manufacturers and for processing facilities that clean medical devices and need to organize cleaning instructions, validation, and workflow decisions.

What does SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026 specify?

SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026 specifies how to group reusable medical devices for cleaning purposes and how to link those groups to cleaning processes. It focuses on product families, cleaning classification categories, and the attributes that matter when deciding whether a device can be cleaned manually or automatically.

The scope covers manufacturers creating cleaning methods and instructions for processing, and it also applies to any facility that cleans medical devices. It excludes single-use medical devices supplied sterile before use and textile devices. The document also keeps microbiocidal processes such as sanitization, disinfection, and sterilization outside the cleaning classification categories.

The document is organized into these main clauses and one informative annex:

Part	What it covers
Clause 1	Scope
Clause 2	Normative references
Clause 3	Terms and definitions
Clause 4	Risk analysis
Clause 5	Product families
Clause 6	Cleaning classification categories
Clause 7	Application of cleaning classification category
Clause 8	Processing resources for categories and families of medical devices
Annex A	Guidance on product families

What are the key requirements of SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026?

SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026 is mainly about how to justify cleaning groupings and how to use them in practice. The document links device design, contamination risk, and cleaning resources so that manufacturers and processing facilities can choose methods that are realistic for the device family.

Risk analysis and responsibility

Clause 4 says the medical device manufacturer should undertake risk analysis in line with ISO 17664-1 or ISO 17664-2, as applicable. If a processing facility uses an alternative cleaning method that the manufacturer did not specify, the facility should carry out its own risk analysis. In practice, this means the cleaning decision must be supported by evidence, not by assumption.

Product families

Clause 5 says product families are based on four primary attributes: geometric design features, materials of construction, clinical use, and type of cleaning process. Devices with similar cleaning behavior may be grouped together, and more than one product family may sit in the same cleaning classification category. Practically, this helps a manufacturer write one cleaning approach for a set of devices that really behave alike.

Clause 5 also says the most difficult-to-clean locations should be identified using the device’s geometry, surface area, surface character, and size. It highlights access for brushes and fluids, disassembly, and removal of soil and cleaning agent. That matters because the cleaning instructions must address the hardest-to-clean part, not just the easiest surfaces.

Materials and clinical use also matter. Clause 5 says cleaning-agent compatibility, material degradation, and effects of repeated processing should be considered, and that the soil profile should be representative of actual clinical use. Delayed processing and transport conditions should also be considered. In practice, a device may need a different classification if its material or intended use changes how soil behaves.

Cleaning classification categories

Clause 6 divides cleaning into manual and automated categories and allows a device to qualify for more than one category. Manual categories are M1, M2, and M3. Automated categories are A1, A2, and A3.

• M1 and A1 are for devices whose surfaces are directly accessible.
• M2 and A2 are for devices with inaccessible areas but without specialized equipment.
• M3 and A3 are for devices with inaccessible areas that need specialized equipment, specialized accessories, customized steps, or customized cycle parameters.

For practice, these categories tell a processing team how much access, tooling, and setup the device needs. A higher category usually means more training, more equipment, and more process control.

Clause 6 also notes that cleaning classification does not fully cover material compatibility, so end-of-life indicators and precautions still need attention. That matters when repeated cleaning can damage a device even if the cleaning works.

Applying the category

Clause 7 says processing facilities can use the cleaning classification category to identify the cleaning process, while product families help define master products and validate cleaning. If a facility departs from the manufacturer’s validated instructions, it should validate the alternative process with suitable equipment, materials, and trained staff. In practice, the classification is a planning tool for validation and workflow, not just a label.

Clause 7 also links category to cleaning risk mitigation. The document says categories can be used to communicate cleaning effort, support process validation and verification testing, and define the equipment and cleaning techniques needed in the instructions for use (IFU). For M3 and A3 devices, that can include specialized equipment, training, verification, and enhanced visualization.

Processing resources

Clause 8 explains that resource needs rise as device complexity and access problems increase. M1 and A1 devices are the easiest to process because all surfaces are readily accessible. M2 and A2 devices need more effort and often common tools, connectors, washer-disinfectors, or sonicators. M3 and A3 devices require the most resources, including specialized equipment, ongoing staff training, and verification of cleaning effectiveness. That helps facilities match staffing, equipment, and monitoring to the device mix they handle.

What terms does SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026 define?

SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026 defines the vocabulary needed to discuss cleaning design and cleaning validation.

• Cleaning - removal of contaminants enough for further processing or intended use.
• Cleaning agent - a physical or chemical substance, or combination of substances, that makes an item clean.
• Cleaning classification category - a grouping system in which the same cleaning processes, equipment, and accessories are considered suitable.
• Instructions for use (IFU) - the user-facing part of the accompanying information needed for safe and effective use.
• Master product - the product or procedure set that represents the most difficult item to clean in a product family or processing category.
• Product family - a group of products with similar attributes that are treated as equivalent for evaluation and processing.
• Reusable medical device - a medical device intended by the manufacturer to be processed and used again.
• Validation - confirmation, using objective evidence, that requirements for a specific intended use have been met.
• Verification - confirmation, using objective evidence, that specified requirements have been met.

Who uses SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026?

SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026 is used by medical device manufacturers, processing facilities, and teams that design or validate cleaning workflows. It is relevant to sterile processing departments, contract reprocessors, quality and regulatory teams, and validation specialists working with reusable medical devices.

In practice, these users apply the document when writing IFU cleaning instructions, grouping devices into product families, choosing manual or automated cleaning routes, selecting washer-disinfector setups, validating alternative processes, and deciding what training or specialized equipment is needed.

Which standards are used with SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026?

SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026 refers to several related standards that support its terminology and process decisions.

• ISO 11139 - provides the underlying vocabulary for cleaning, validation, verification, and related processing terms.
• ISO 17664-1 - covers manufacturer information for critical and semi-critical medical devices and is part of the framework this document extends.
• ISO 17664-2 - covers manufacturer information for non-critical medical devices and is also used as a basis for risk analysis.
• ISO 15883-5 - gives cleaning requirements and acceptance criteria for washer-disinfectors, which matters for automated cleaning.
• ISO 17665 - is mentioned as a comparison point for designation to product family or master product in moist heat sterilization.
• ASTM F3357 - is cited for examples of design features that affect cleanability.

What does the SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026 document contain?

SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 17664-3:2026 contains the vocabulary, grouping logic, category definitions, and implementation guidance needed to classify reusable medical devices for cleaning. It also gives guidance on risk analysis, product-family assignment, and the resources needed for different cleaning categories.

Annex A adds practical guidance on product families. It includes examples of geometric design features that create cleaning challenges, guidance on materials of construction, and evaluation questions that help a manufacturer or processing facility judge how a device should be classified and processed.

ISO/TS 17664-3:2026(en)
Introduction
ISO 17664-1 and ISO 17664-2 address the medical device manufacturer’s labelling requirements. Typically,
these requirements are mandated by law or government regulation to be validated to demonstrate effective
processes. This document is intended to bridge the gap between the manufacturer of reusable medical
devices and the facility responsible for medical device processing.
ISO 17664-1 and ISO 17664-2 specify requirements for the information to be provided by the medical device
manufacturer for processing. ISO 17665 gives specificity for designation to a product family or master
product, but this is for moist heat sterilization and not for cleaning.
Product family and master product are used within a number of documents (i.e. ISO 17664-1 and ISO 17664-2,
AAMI TIR12 and ANSI/AAMI ST98). These documents use the terminology, but do not provide guidance to
inform the medical device manufacturer as to how to define product family or designate the master product
using objective evidence.
The connection between the medical device manufacturer and the processing facility is intended to be
communicated through the instructions for use (IFU). In addition to providing guidance to the manufacturer,
this document provides the guidance to the processing facility to establish cleaning workflows based on
medical device cleaning classification category within the clinical setting. This allows verification that the
cleaning instructions can be performed effectively for all reusable medical devices.
As the variability in design features for reusable medical devices continues to increase, guidance is needed
to establish appropriate medical device cleaning classification.
