Hi Charlaine,

Washer-disinfectors for Human Waste Containers must comply with ISO15883-1 (General Requirements) and ISO15883-3 requirements specific to this application.

Part 3 has Annex A which is informative and has requirements for IQ/OQ/PQ however these are very minor PQ only requires checks of safe operation of loading and emptying of containers is achieved.

Kind Regards
