Antwort vom Kunden:
Die Plateauzeit ist laut DIN EN 13060:2015 : die "Ausgleichzeit plus Haltezeit", mit
Ausgleichzeit
Zeitraum zwischen dem Erreichen der Sterilisationstemperatur im Kammernutzraum und dem Erreichen der Sterilisationstemperatur an allen Stellen innerhalb der Beladung
Haltezeit
Zeitraum, während dessen die Temperaturen an allen Stellen im Kammernutzraum und der Beladung durchgängig innerhalb des Sterilisationstemperaturbands gehalten werden
UND:
Ausgleichzeit: Zeit bis zum Erreichen der Sterilisationstemperatur
Haltezeit: Sterilisationstemperatur wird gehalten
Plateauzeit: Zeit vom Beginn bis die Sterilisationstemperatur nicht mehr gehalten wird.

: Many thanks to Anne, who provided the missing evidence that this term was also so defined in the standard EN 13060.

sterilization time
Sterilization time is the time above sterilization temperature.
See graphics:
2. After the vacuum pulses have removed almost all of the air inside the chamber, the pressure and temperature increase.
3. We have now reached the sterilization stage where the temperature and pressure are held constant for the duration of the sterilization time, also known as holding time. This is the phase when the actual sterilization takes place, i.e., goodbye to germs.
https://tuttnauer.com/blog/autoclave-sterilization/class-b-t...
We can see from the graphics that the holding time (constant temperature) covers nearly all of the sterilization time and only small proportions of increase time + decrease time (above the min. sterilization temperature).
The editor neglected to mention these small transition times as being of minor interest.

Note: The transition time refers to the equilibration time (Ausgleichszeit).
