Are you talking about small sterilizers? The new European Standard 13060 talks about three types of small - ie effectively less than 54 litres chamber capacity - sterilizers. These are types B, N and S. Type B is for wrapped, solid, hollow or porous instruments. Type N is for non-wrapped instruments and type S is for instruments specified by the manufactirer of the sterilizer. You will find information on this website's "Standards" page.
