BS EN 868-10:2018 pdf download.Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices
1 Scope
This document specifies test methods and values for sealable adhesive coated nonwoven materials of polyolefines, manufactured from nonwovens complying with EN 868-9 used for sterile barrier systems and/or packaging systems that are intended to maintain sterility of terminally sterilized medical devices to the point of use.
Other than the general requirements as specified in EN ISO 11607-1 and EN ISO 11607-2 this part of EN 868 specifies materials, test methods and values that are specific to the products covered by this document.The materials specified in this part of EN 868 are intended for single use only.

This part of EN 868 only introduces performance requirements and test methods that are specific to the products covered by this part of EN 868 but does not add or modify the general requirements specified in EN ISO 11607-1. As such, the particular requirements in 4.3 can be used to demonstrate compliance with one or more but not all of the requirements of EN ISO 11607-1. NOTE 1 Compliance to EN 868-10 does not automatically mean compliance to EN ISO 11607-1. A confirmation of compliance to EN 868- 10 shall contain a statement whether EN ISO 11607-1 is covered. NOTE 2 When additional materials are used inside the sterile barrier system in order to ease the organization, drying or aseptic presentation (e.g. inner wrap, indicators, packing lists, mats, instrument organizer sets, tray liners or an additional envelope around the medical device) then other requirements, including the determination of the acceptability of these materials during validation activities, can apply.
