Abstract
To eliminate the necessity for additional seals or indicator tapes in a closure for a sterilizing container comprising a bottom part and a lid, with a pivotable locking bar which in a closed position fixes the lid in the closed position on the bottom part and in an open position releases the lid for removal from the bottom part, and with a safety closure for the locking bar which is damaged when the locking bar is pivoted from the closed position to the open position, the safety closure includes (i) a data carrier card which can be pushed into or put into a holding device on the locking bar, on the lid, or on the bottom part, (ii) a securing member to prevent removal of the data carrier card from the holding device when the locking bar is in the closed state, and (iii) a marking element to penetrate the data carrier card secured in the holding device during pivotal motion of the locking bar from the closed position to the open position.
