Hi Teresa,
Amendment No. 2 modified some, but not all of the content in Table 10.1 from the original edition [note Table 10.1 has now been labelled as Table 10.2 by amendment No. 2].
Therefore, if you look at the original edition [Table 10.1] you will see that steam quality (purity) testing is not required for small steam sterilisers.
This was not changed by the amendment.
Kind Regards

Subject: [ACIPC_Infexion_Connexion] Fwd: Steam quality and steam purityHi team
We have a small benchtop steam steriliser for which we use distilled water for steam generation.
Steam quality/purity testing is not required according to the technician, due to the fact that we are using distilled water.
4187:2014 Amd2:2019 does not mention this anywhere (or not that I have read anyway).
I would appreciate some clarity from those of you with more knowledge in this field please.
Thanking you in advance.Kind Regards
