Dear,

For Europe you should obtain the EN 550 "Sterilization of medical devices - "Validation and routine control of ethylene - oxide sterilizer and EN 1422 "Sterilizer for medical purposes - Ethylene oxide sterilizer".
Useful references are given in Wim Renders' answer to question Q000267. See also other Questions & Answers under the category Low Temperature Sterilization.
A good Internet source of information on ETO sterilization is the Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Association (EOSA; Washington, DC); EOSA's website address is www.eosa.org

Kind regards

Dear John,

The website of the North American Sterilization and Packaging company: www.naspco.com can also provide you with information you're looking for. Visit their technical paper archive for information on Ethylene Oxide Sterilization.

Enjoy your weekend,
