It presents only the performance requirements and test methods specific to products converted by this chapter, but does not add to or replace the general requirements set out in chapter 1. The papers specified in this section are intended for use in the partial or full manufacture of envelopes, tubes and packaging for automatic thermoforming machines. The materials specified in this section of NBR 14990 are for single use only.

The kinetics of inactivation of a pure culture of microorganisms by physical or chemical agents used to sterilize medical devices are generally best described by an exponential relationship between the number of surviving microorganisms and the sterilizing agent and the extent of treatment; inevitably this means that there is always a finite probability for a microorganism to survive, regardless of the extent of treatment administered.

The probability of survival for a given treatment is determined by the number and resistance of microorganisms and the environment in which the organisms are present during treatment. Therefore, the sterility of any item in a sterilized population cannot be guaranteed, and the sterility of a processed population is defined in terms of the probability that a viable microorganism may be present in a product item.
