Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-6: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Usability

Specifies requirements for a process to analyse, design, verify and validate the usability, as it relates to basic safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment. This collateral standard addresses normal use and use errors but excludes abnormal use. The object of this collateral standard is to specify general requirements that are in addition to those of the general standard IEC 60601-1 and to serve as the basis for particular standards.

Foreword
The text of document 62A/550/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 60601-1-6, prepared by SC 62A, Common
aspects of electrical equipment used in medical practice, of IEC TC 62, Electrical equipment in
medical practice, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC
as EN 60601-1-6 on 2007-05-01.
The following date was fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2008-02-01
This European Standard supersedes EN 60601-1-6:2004. However, EN 60601-1-6:2004 remains valid
until all the parts 2 that are used in conjunction with it have been withdrawn. No date of withdrawal of
conflicting national standards (dow) has therefore been fixed. However, when Part 1-6 is used for
appliances not covered by a part 2, EN 60601-1-6:2004 is not to be used after 2009-09-12.
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association and covers essential requirements of
EC Directive 93/42/EEC. See Annex ZZ.
This European Standard constitutes a collateral standard to EN 60601-1:2006, hereafter referred to as
the general standard.
This EN 60601-1-6 was revised to structurally align it with EN 60601-1:2006 and to implement the
decision of IEC SC 62A that the clause numbering structure of collateral standards written to
EN 60601-1:2006 would adhere to the form specified in ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2:2004. The principle
