SAL, or the Sterility Assurance Level, is important in any production operation where there is a threat of contamination that could affect the product (in the case of pharmaceutical manufacturing), health of a client, customer, or any subsequent user. The SAL addresses the possibility of bacteria, viruses, spores, or other microorganisms surviving the sterilization process.
