EN 868-2
EN 868-2 — European standard for sterilization wrap — the paper and non-woven sheets used to wrap instrument trays and packs.
EN 868-2 covers requirements and test methods for wrapping materials, including strength, porosity and microbial barrier. Crepe paper is the most common cellulose wrap in this category.
Wraps are usually applied in a double layer using a standard folding method, then closed with indicator tape.
