Honeyman Group  |  EN285:2006

EN285:2006 is the European standard for large steam sterilizers. This standard has superseded EN285:1997 and the grace period for all organisations is fast approaching. By 1st October 2008 all organisations using large steam sterilizers should adopt EN285:2006.

Are you prepared?

  • Does your Autoclave pass the new Bowie Dick Towel Pack test?
  • Does your steam supply to the Autoclave pass the required standards?
  • Does your Autoclave have an Air Detector?
  • Is your Autoclave cycle capable of meeting the new standards?


Bowie Dick Towel Pack Test

Honeyman has the Solution....

The Honeyman Group offers a full package of services that will help to increase the compliance and efficiency of your sterilization processes, including;

Autoclave Health Checks
Our specialists will review your Autoclave and its associated practices, assessing the suitability and use to provide an overview of performance, compliance and management issues, benchmarked against current industry best practice and cGMP.

Air Detectors
Honeyman manufacture, supply, install, set up and test Air Detectors for new or existing Autoclave systems which are either connected to a control system or a standalone chart recorder.  We also supply a large range of validation and test equipment including Bowie Dick towel packs.

Steam Quality Testing
Non-condensable gases, superheat and the dryness value of the steam all need to be within specification to provide confidence in the Autoclave's performance - we can test the quality of the steam supply to your Autoclave.

Condensate Testing
Our MHRA approved Analytical Laboratory test condensate samples to EN285, HTM 2031 and WFI specifications as defined in the EP & USP.

New Cycle Design - Ensuring your Autoclave Meets the New Standards
Correct Autoclave cycle design is crucial in meeting the new standards - our validation experts can deliver new cycle designs giving increased compliance confidence.
