This document applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of ME EQUIPMENT and 
ME SYSTEMS intended to be used for projection RADIOGRAPHY and INDIRECT RADIOSCOPY. 
IEC 60601-2-43 applies to ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS intended to be used for interventional 
applications and refers to applicable requirements in this document. 

ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS intended to be used for bone or tissue absorption densitometry, 
computed tomography, mammography or dental or radiotherapy applications are excluded from 
the scope of this document. The scope of this document also excludes radiotherapy simulators. 

If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME EQUIPMENT only, or to 
ME SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the 
case, the clause or subclause applies both to ME EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant. 

Project need:

To maintain alignment with international requirements (new edition of adoption, new adopted standard, new amendment of an adopted standard, etc.) The proposed New Edition/ New Amendment are being developed at the request of Technical Committees. It will provide the industry with the latest requirements for the safety testing of medical devices.
