ABSTRACT
The previous chapter discussed the steam sterilization
approach for the processing of hard goods or porous
loads. This chapter will discuss the sterilization vali-
dation approach that can be used in the processing of
parenteral products by terminal sterilization using moist
heat. The underlying principles of steam sterilization are
applicable to both hard goods and terminal sterilization
of parenteral products, but both have their unique
characteristics.
