APPENDIX 8
Quality of process water
With reference to standard EN 13060, the table below indicates the recommended limit values (maximum)
for contaminating agents, as well as the chemical-physical characteristics of the water used for condensate*
and inlet water.
* Condensate is produced by the steam that was formed by the empty chamber of the sterilizer.

NOTE: The use of water for generating steam containing contaminants at higher levels than those
shown in this table may considerably shorten the working life of a sterilizer and may invalidate the
maker’s guarantee.
