Scope

This International Standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT and MEDICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, hereafter referred to as ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS.

This collateral standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS in the presence of ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTURBANCES and to ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTURBANCES emitted by ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS.

BASIC SAFETY with regard to ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTURBANCES is applicable to all ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS.

1.2
Object

The object of this collateral standard is to specify general requirements and tests for BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE with regard to ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTURBANCES and for ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS of ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS. They are in addition to the requirements of the general standard and serve as the basis for particular standards.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of international standards in the medical electrical equipment subject area and update the current standard to user experience/feedback/new technology. This proposed New Amendment is being developed at the request of Canadian mirror committee to IEC TC 62 and the industry. It will provide the industry with an update to the current standard to meet the requirements for advancement in technology.
