Overview
SIST EN 13312-6:2002 is a European Standard developed by CEN that defines performance criteria for equipment probes used in biotechnological processes. This standard addresses the risks posed to workers and the environment by microorganisms handled during these processes. It is specifically applicable where the equipment probes are exposed to hazardous or potentially hazardous microorganisms, or where strict safety requirements limit exposure to such microorganisms. By establishing clear safety and performance benchmarks for equipment probes, SIST EN 13312-6:2002 plays a critical role in ensuring safe biotechnological operations.
Key Topics
Performance Criteria for Equipment Probes
The standard specifies detailed requirements to ensure that equipment probes used in biotechnology applications operate reliably while minimizing the risk of microorganism release.Safety Measures for Hazardous Microorganisms
SIST EN 13312-6:2002 emphasizes designing probes to prevent exposure to hazardous or potentially hazardous microorganisms, protecting workers and the environment from contamination.Risk Management and Containment
The criteria ensure probes maintain containment integrity within piping and instrumentation systems to avoid accidental leaks or exposure.Suitability for Biotechnological Processes
Equipment probes must meet functional and safety standards tailored for biotechnological applications where microorganism control is essential.Compliance and Testing
The standard provides guidelines for assessing and verifying equipment probes’ compliance with performance and safety requirements.
