Scope:

C22.2 No. 60601-2-65:2012+A1:2017+A2:2021 applies to the basic safety and essential performance of 
dental intra-oral X-ray equipment and its main components. The scope of this standard is restricted to X-ray 
equipment where the X-ray tube assembly contains the high-voltage transformer assembly. Dental extra-oral 
X-ray equipment is excluded from the scope of this standard. This particular standard has been prepared to 
provide, based on C22.2 No. 60601-1:2005 and its collaterals, a complete set of basic safety and essential 
performance requirements for dental intra-oral X-ray equipment. While the previously existing standards for 
such equipment were dedicated to components and subsystems, this particular standard addresses the 
system level of dental intra-oral X-ray equipment. Components and their functions are addressed as far as 
necessary. 

Project need:

To maintain alignment with international requirements (new edition of adoption, new adopted standard, new amendment of an adopted standard, etc.) This proposed New Amendments 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.
