EN 14065:2002 (E)3ForewordThis document EN 14065:2002 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN /TC 248 "Textiles and textileproducts", the secretariat of which is held by BSI.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by May 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest byMay 2003.Annexes A, B and C are informative.This document contains a bibliography.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this European Standard : Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain,Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.SIST EN 14065:2003
EN 14065:2002 (E)4IntroductionGeneralThe sensory cleanliness of laundry processed textiles is important for the laundry industry and their customers.Processed textiles should be visibly clean, free from stains and correctly dried or ironed; they should also bepleasant to the touch and fragrant or at least free from any unpleasant odours, etc.Sensory cleanliness is obtained during the laundry cycle through physico-chemical treatments such as mechanicalaction, temperature, addition of detergents and auxiliary products, bleaching agents, dilutions and rinses insuccessive baths, in combination with sufficient time. With these procedures, most micro-organisms have a lowprobability of survival.Nowadays the need for the prevention of microbiological contamination of individuals, products, materials orenvironment is of increasing significance. Consequently, assured microbiological quality becomes necessary.Therefore the laundry industry is adopting new process control techniques to assure the microbiological quality oflaundered textiles.The purpose of this standard is to provide a management system to deliver an agreed level of microbiologicalquality according to the intended use of the textile.The microbiological quality of textiles is determined by their intended use, e.g. consistent with the level of risk forindividuals, products, materials or an environment exposed to biocontamination. In certain cases, where very highmicrobiological quality is required, for example in operating theatres and immune-deficiency or burns departmentsin hospitals, etc., processing is completed by sterilisation.Soiled textiles entering a laundry are contaminated with varying numbers of micro-organisms from the environmentin which they have been used. In this context, the objective of the launderer is to decontaminate the textiles using adisinfecting process and then protect them from subsequent recontamination up to the moment they become theresponsibility of the customer.Good manufacturing practice in the laundry is a prerequisite for achieving microbiological quality; some countriesalready possess national guidelines to assist with this.Working practices for dealing with hazards and controlling risks prior to washing should be common to all laundryoperations. However from the point of maximum decontamination (by thermal, chemical and physical means) thetextiles will be subject to microbiological recontamination. The awareness of a ‘micro-organism exchange’ isimportant in assessing the impact recontamination may have in the use of the textile.Different strategies are used for controlling recontamination in terms of investment, plant design, construction andoperation. Laundry operations and the market sector they supply will determine which is most appropriate.The true performance of the complete laundry processes may only be validated after adequate in-processmicrobiological testing has been carried out. It may be necessary to modify plant lay out and revalidate processesas a result.This document has been developed using the principles of a Risk Analysis and Biocontamination Control (RABC)system, presented in prEN ISO 14698–1. This method is essentially based on preventative measures, as opposedto inspection procedures on the end product.This standard does not take into account the measures required for the protection of personnel.SIST EN 14065:2003
EN 14065:2002 (E)5Process approachThis European Standard, which describes a process approach to quality management, is consistent with ISO9001:2000, except clause 7.3 (according to permissible exclusions given in 1.2 of ISO 9001:2000).In the RABC system, a risk analysis has been added to a quality assurance process.Compatibility with other quality management systemsThis European Standard is compatible with other internationally recognised quality management system standards.This European Standard may be integrated into an existing quality management system.SIST EN 14065:2003
EN 14065:2002 (E)61 ScopeThis European Standard describes a management system for ensuring the microbiological quality of laundryprocessed textiles used in specifically defined sectors in which it is necessary to control biocontamination. Thisdocument describes a Risk Analysis and Biocontamination Control (RABC) system to enable laundries tocontinuously assure the microbiological quality of the laundered textiles.It applies to textiles processed in laundries and used in specific sectors, e.g. pharmaceuticals, medical devices,food, healthcare and cosmetics and excludes those aspects relating to worker safety and sterility of the finalproduct.2 Normative referencesNot applicable.3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.3.1action levelestablished level of a CP monitoring variable set by the RABC team at which remedial procedures are activated tobring the laundry process back into control3.2alert levelestablished level of a CP monitoring variable set by the RABC team giving early warning of a change from normalconditions3.3biocontaminationcontamination with viable micro-organisms3.4control measureaction or procedure required to control a biocontamination risk3.5control point (CP)any point or step in a process at which control is applied in order to contain, eliminate or reduce biocontaminationrisk3.6corrective actionaction to be taken, when the results of monitoring indicate that alert or action levels are exceeded, in order torestore control of the process3.7flow diagramgraphical representation of all the steps in the process3.8hazardin the context of this standard, any element or factor that may adversely affect the achievement of the agreedmicrobiological quality of textilesSIST EN 14065:2003

EN 14065:2002 (E)84 Prerequisites and general principles of biocontamination controlIt is necessary for a laundry to follow good manufacturing practices as a prerequisite to implementing this standard.These can form part of an existing quality management system.Examples of the topics to be considered are given in annex A.A formal system shall be established, implemented and maintained in order to assess and control risks that canaffect the microbiological quality of the process and product.In such a system, specific microbiological hazards shall be identified. The control measures and their effectivenessshall be determined, analysed and documented.The principles of a Risk Analysis and Biocontamination Control system (RABC) are :4.1 Principle 1 : List of microbiological hazards and list of control measuresa) Identification of the microbiological hazard(s) associated with each step of the process, with the product or withstaff ;b) assessment and classification of levels of risk(s) of biocontamination of textiles at each step of the process as aconsequence of the hazard ;NOTEClassification of risk(s) can be performed according to relevant national guidelines or regulations where these exist.c) identification of control measures to eliminate or reduce the risk(s) of biocontamination of textiles to reach theagreed microbiological quality for the end-use of the textiles.4.2 Principle 2 : Determination of the control pointsDetermination of the points/steps/environmental conditions that can be controlled (control points) to eliminate orreduce the risk(s).4.3 Principle 3 : Target levels and limits - TolerancesEstablishment of limits at each control point which shall not be exceeded to assure microbiological quality oftextiles.4.4 Principle 4 : Monitoring systemEstablishment of scheduled testing or observation to monitor the control points.4.5 Principle 5 : Corrective actionsEstablishment of corrective actions to be taken when monitoring indicates that a particularpoint/procedure/operational step/environmental condition is not under control.4.6 Principle 6 : RABC System checking proceduresEstablishment of procedures to verify that the system is working effectively.4.7 Principle 7 : DocumentationEstablishment and maintenance of appropriate documentation.SIST EN 14065:2003
EN 14065:2002 (E)95 Alignment with a quality management systemIn order to improve efficiency and reduce the amount of documentation required, the documentation of the RABCsystem in accordance with 6.2.7 can be integrated with that of the existing compatible quality management system6 Application of the Risk Analysis and Biocontamination Control system to laundriesThe Risk Analysis and Biocontamination Control (RABC) system shall be used throughout the entire textilelaundering process, from collection of the soiled articles to delivery of articles fit for use. Besides increasing themicrobiological quality of textiles delivered to the users, its advantage is to improve process management.Prerequisites and several preliminary actions are required for implementation of the RABC system to the laundry(6.1) before applying the seven p
