9 ESTABLISHING PROTOCOL FOR MICROBIOLOGICAL TESTING OF REGULATED MEDICAL WASTE PROCESSING TECHNOLOGIES OTHER THAN INCINERATION OR THERMAL PROCESSING In order to properly evaluate prospective methods proposed for the disinfection of regulated medical waste, the Department of Environmental Protection requires that: A. Microbiological testing be performed using select biological indicators. B. All testing be conducted using recognized microbial techniques. C. Methodology employed to determine efficacy of the technology will be developed by the equipment manufacturer to assure the protocols are congruent with the treatment method. Protocols developed for efficacy testing should incorporate recognized standard procedures such as those found in Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods, EPA Publication SW846, Third Edition, as amended, and the current edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste Water. D. In establishing testing criteria to evaluate efficacy, the composition of the waste load(s) tested is critically important. The equipment manufacturer should prescribe and use those types of regulated medical waste that present the greatest challenge to the equipment effectiveness as well as present and use protocols that adequately evaluate efficacy under normal operating conditions. If protocols are submitted for evaluation, the DEP reserves the right to accept or modify the prescribed waste types and testing protocols. E. To ensure the required quality control, efficacy testing shall be carried out by an independent laboratory meeting the following criteria: Be experienced in microbiological testing techniques and be familiar with required sampling and testing protocols; Be an accredited laboratory and have experience with product registration through the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the USEPA Office of Pesticide Programs; and Be equipped to meet FDA Good Laboratory Practices requirements
