I thought that
this site provided some useful information on the distinction between
Sterilizing and HLD- which I’m just guessing stands for High Level
Disinfection, based on how it’s used on the page. The page highlights the
important difference between steaming something not under pressure, which
counts as HLD, and steaming something under pressure, which counts as
sterilizing, due to the higher temperature attained by steam under
pressure.
