Sterilizing vs High Level Disinfecting

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.
