摘要

Abstract

Implemented on March 1

2025

the Chinese industry standard

Evaluation method of endoscopic sterilization effect

(WS/T 10015—2024) aims to standardize the evaluation methods for the sterilization efficacy of endoscopes and to detect and evaluate the sterilization effect of endoscopes by scientific and unified methods. It specifies the evaluation content and test methods for the sterilization efficacy of endoscope sterilants and/or automatic endoscope washer-disinfectors. It applies to the efficacy evaluation of endoscope sterilants and/or automatic endoscope washer-disinfectors when they are sterilizing flexible endoscopes. This study interprets the main content and key indicators of the standard.
