Introduction
It is recommended that this Introduction be read in conjunction with the introduction to
ISO/DIS 15883-1:2020.
This part of ISO 15883 is the third of a series of standards specifying the performance of washer-
disinfectors and specifies the general requirements for performance applicable to washer-disinfectors
for human waste containers. The requirements given in this document apply to washer-disinfectors
used for emptying, flushing, washing, and thermally disinfecting human waste containers intended for
reuse such as:
— portable sanitary pans;
— supports for single-use bedpans;
— hospital bowls for containment of human waste;
— urine collection containers;
— suction bottles;
— products similar to the above and used for similar purposes.
Fields of application within the scope of the ISO 15883 series of standards can include laboratory,
veterinary, dental and pharmaceutical applications, and other specific applications, such as washer-
disinfectors for bedsteads and transport carts and the disinfection of crockery and cutlery intended for
use with immunologically compromised patients.
Requirements for washer-disinfectors for other applications are specified in other parts the ISO 15883
series of standards.
In order to reduce the risk of spillage and the generation of aerosols most machines incorporate means
to empty human waste containers automatically, e.g. by the action of closing the WD door.
Where equipment does not provide automatic emptying facilities, extra care is needed by the user to
avoid exposure to human waste and contamination of the work environment including the generation
of aerosols.
The reliability of a human waste container washer-disinfector can be adversely affected if the
machine is connected to a poorly designed or constructed drainage system. The purchaser is therefore
recommended to ensure that the drainage system complies with the manufacturer’s recommendations
in all respects.
Safety requirements for washer-disinfectors are given in IEC 61010-2-040.
In respect of the potential adverse effects on the quality of water intended for human consumption or
environmental impacts caused by the washer-disinfector and its intended use, it is noteworthy that the
ISO 15883 series of standards provides no information as to whether the washer-disinfectors may be
used without restrictions in any of the ISO member states.

NOTE Some suitable test soils for human waste containers are described in the Bibliography of
ISO 15883-5:2021, Reference [63] and Reference [64].
The cleaning process shall also meet the requirements of the test specified in 6.6.
Where applicable, any treatment required prior to cleaning in the WD shall be performed in accordance
with the instructions for use for the load (see ISO 17664-2), or WD [see ISO/DIS 15883-1:2020, 8.1 a)].
4.4.2 Pre-wash (flushing)
The human waste containers shall be flushed with sufficient water to remove the gross soiling.
4.4.3 Washing
The human waste containers shall be washed on both their inner and outer surfaces.
NOTE The water used to wash the human waste containers can be discharged without recirculation or be
recirculated during a single washing stage within one operating cycle.
During the washing stage:
— the washing time shall start when the temperature at the control sensor of the WD reaches the
lower limit of the temperature profile;
— the temperatures recorded on the surface of the load and load carrier(s) for the washing stage follow
the temperature profile defined for this stage and are within + 5 °C of the relevant set temperature
for each holding time of the stage (see ISO/DIS 15883-1:2020, 4.2.3).
NOTE A washing stage can include two or more washing temperatures and washing temperature bands.
4.5 Disinfecting
4.5.1 When tested in accordance with the method specified in ISO/DIS 15883-1:2020, 6.8.2, 6.8.3
and 6.8.4, each operating cycle shall include a thermal disinfection stage during which the specified
minimum temperature for the specified minimum (holding) time, or the equivalent lethality of an A of
0
at least 60 is achieved on all surfaces which are required to be disinfected.
NOTE Thermal disinfection can be achieved by rinsing the load with hot water, exposure to steam or
combination of the two.
4.5.2 Higher A values than 60 may be specified for the inner surface of the human waste container,
0
the outer surfaces of the human waste container or the walls of the WD chamber.
4.5.3 The temperature on the surface of the load shall be within 0 °C to 15 °C of the disinfection
temperature throughout the time specified for disinfection when this has been specified as a time–
temperature relationship.
4.5.4 The temperature recorded on the surface of the chamber wall shall be within 0 °C to 15 °C of the
set temperature throughout the time specified for disinfection when this has been specified as a time–
temperature relationship.
4.5.5 If rinsing between cleaning and disinfection is omitted, then the requirements of 4.2.4 of
ISO/DIS 15883-1:2020 apply.

4.5.6 If there is a final rinsing after the disinfection stage, then 4.4 of ISO/DIS 15883-1:2020 applies.
4.6 Drying
The provision of a separate drying stage within the operating cycle is optional.
Hot air or compressed air used for drying shall be of a quality which shall not impair the cleanliness of,
nor introduce microbial contamination to, the load.
NOTE ISO 8573-1, ISO 29463-1 and EN 1822-1 provide guidance and specifications on air quality.
4.7 Cooling
The provision of a separate cooling stage within the operating cycle is optional. Means used to cool the
load shall not impair the cleanliness of, nor introduce microbial contamination to, the load.
5 Mechanical and control requirements
5.1 Instrumentation and control
5.1.1 The WD shall either be fitted with a display showing chamber temperature [see
ISO/DIS 15883-1:2020, 5.11.4 a)] or an indicating light to show attainment of a pre-set disinfection
temperature. The sensor shall be located as specified in ISO/DIS 15883-1:2020, 5.12.6.
5.1.2 Provision shall be made for the installation of a temperature recorder when specified by the
purchaser. When a recorder is fitted this shall be deemed to meet the requirements of 5.1.1.
5.2 Process
5.2.1 The inner surfaces of the chamber shall be cleaned and disinfected during the process.
5.2.2 Means shall be provided to pre-set the washing temperature and time over a specified range.
Adjustment shall be by means of an access device.
5.2.3 Means shall be provided to pre-set the disinfection temperature and time over a specified
range. Adjustment shall be by means of an access device.
NOTE The facility to adjust the pre-set time and temperature over the ranges specified is to allow for
disinfection for short time periods at high temperature or, to obtain equivalent effect, prolonged times at lower
temperatures; this can be required for processing human waste containers which will not withstand higher
temperatures.
The combination of disinfection time and disinfection temperature shall be set to achieve the specified
A value.
0
5.2.4 If process fluid is recirculated, means shall be provided to prevent the spread of contaminants
and microorganisms to a subsequent process step.
NOTE The water used to wash the human waste containers can be discharged without recirculation or be
recirculated during a single flushing stage within one operating cycle.
