Autoclave Vacuum Leak Test

How come the acceptance limit 0.013 bar/ 10 minutes has fixed?..Is there any specific reason?..What is the basis for that limit and how that value has come?..Plz let me know…

Thanks in advance.

I do not know where didi they come but this acceptance limit has been given in HTM 2010 & PDA Technical monograph 1 & EN 285 which is used for the autoclave validation

Leak test limit is 0.013 bar/min. or 1 mmHg/ min. as per above guidelines

Sorry, is it 0,0013 bar/min? (0,0013bar = 1mmHg)
