What EN 868-8 compatible Means for Sterilization & Instrument Wire Mesh Basket
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit EN 868-8 compatible. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.

When Sterilization & Instrument Wire Mesh Basket Is Not the Right Choice
Not a sterile barrier — baskets must be wrapped or placed in a container.
