ISO 15883-6:20 11规定了洗涤消毒器（WD）的特殊要求，这些消毒器旨在通过清洁和热消毒（A0不低于60）达到必要的消毒保证水平，并且不要求保留关键过程的独立自动化记录。它旨在与ISO 15883-1结合使用，ISO 15883-1给出了WDs的一般要求。 可使用该特定类型WDs的产品范围仅限于非侵入性和非关键（即不穿透皮肤或不接触粘膜表面）的器械和设备。

ISO 15883-6:2011 specifies particular requirements for washer-disinfectors (WDs) intended for use when the level of assurance of disinfection that is necessary can be achieved by cleaning and thermal disinfection (A₀ not less than 60) and does not require an independent automated record of critical processes to be kept. It is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 15883-1, which gives general requirements for WDs. The range of products on which WDs of this particular type can be used is restricted to devices and equipment which are non-invasive and non-critical (i.e. not penetrating skin or contacting mucosal surfaces).
