Procedure for the assessment of the exposure to electromagnetic fields of workers bearing active implantable medical devices - Part 1: General

This European Standard provides a procedure to assess the risk to workers bearing one or more active implantable medical devices from exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields at a workplace. It describes how a general risk assessment should be performed and determines whether it is necessary to carry out a detailed risk assessment. NOTE 1 This European Standard does not cover indirect effects caused by non active implants. NOTE 2 The risk of human exposure to EMF considered is only due to malfunctioning of AIMD. Possibilities of AIMD contribution to the risk, e.g. local modification of the distribution of EMF produced by external source or production of own EMF, are covered by the respective product standards for the AIMD. Based on specific workplace standards it can be determined whether preventive measures/actions need to be taken to comply with the provisions of Directive 2013/35/EU. The work situation covered is considered to be under normal working conditions including normal operation, maintenance, cleaning and other situations being part of the normal work. The frequencies covered are from 0 Hz to 300 GHz. The European Parliament and Council Directive 2013/35/EU will be transposed into national legislation in all the EU member countries. It is recommended that users of this standard consult the national legislation related to this transposition in order to identify the national regulations and requirements. These national regulations and requirements may have additional requirements that are not covered by this standard and take precedence. NOTE 3 Performance requirements with respect to active implantable medical devices are excluded from the Scope of this standard. These are defined in the relevant particular standards for active implantable medical devices. The risk assessment described in this standard is only required if an AIMD-Employee is present. Active Implantable Medical Devices (AIMDs) are regulated by Directive 90/385/EEC and the amendments to it. NOTE 4 Product standards EN 45502-1 and of the EN 45502-2-X series describe the product requirements for different kinds of AIMDs. Different kinds of AIMDs are e.g. pacemaker (EN 45502-2-1), implantable cardioverter defibrillators (EN 45502-2-2), cochlear implants (EN 45502-2-3), implantable neurostimulators (ISO 14708-3), implantable infusion pumps (ISO 14708-4). In situations where the risk assessment following this standard does not lead to a conclusion, complementary provisions for the assessment of workers exposure for different kinds of AIMDs are given in particular standards for these specific AIMDs (see Figure 1).

Postopek ocenjevanja izpostavljenosti delavcev z aktivnimi medicinskimi vsadki elektromagnetnim poljem - 1. del: Splošno

Ta evropski standard določa postopek za oceno tveganja za delavce, ki imajo enega ali več aktivnih medicinskih vsadkov, v povezavi z izpostavljenostjo električnim, magnetnim in elektromagnetnim poljem na delovnem mestu. Opisuje način izvajanja splošnega ocenjevanja tveganja in določa, ali je treba izvesti podrobno ocenjevanje tveganja.
OPOMBA 1: Ta evropski standard ne zajema posrednih vplivov, ki jih povzročajo neaktivni vsadki.
OPOMBA 2: Obravnavano je tveganje izpostavljenosti osebe elektromagnetnemu polju, ki je izključno posledica okvare aktivnega medicinskega vsadka. Možnosti aktivnega medicinskega vsadka za povečanje tveganja, npr. lokalne spremembe porazdelitve elektromagnetnega polja, ki jih povzroči zunanji vir, ali ustvarjanje lastnega elektromagnetnega polja, so zajete v ustreznih standardih za aktivne medicinske vsadke. Na podlagi posameznih standardov za delovna mesta je mogoče ugotoviti, ali so za namene skladnosti z določbami Direktive 2013/35/EU potrebni preventivni ukrepi/dejanja. Zajete delovne razmere se obravnavajo kot običajni delovni pogoji, vključno z običajnim delovanjem, vzdrževanjem, čiščenjem in drugimi okoliščinami, ki so del običajnega opravljanja dela.
Zajet frekvenčni razpon je od 0 Hz do 300 GHz.
Direktiva 2013/35/EU Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta bo prenesena v nacionalno zakonodajo vseh držav članic EU. Priporočljivo je, da uporabniki tega standarda upoštevajo nacionalno zakonodajo, povezano s tem prenosom, ter se seznanijo z nacionalni predpisi in zahtevami. Ti nacionalni predpisi in zahteve lahko vključujejo dodatne zahteve, ki niso zajete v tem standardu, in imajo prednost.
OPOMBA 3: Zahtevane lastnosti v zvezi z aktivnimi medicinskimi vsadki so izključene s področja uporabe tega standarda in so opredeljene v ustreznih standardih za aktivne medicinske vsadke.
Ocena tveganja, opisana v tem standardu, je zahtevana samo, če je prisoten uporabnik aktivnega medicinskega vsadka.
Aktivne medicinske vsadke (AIMD) ureja Direktiva 90/385/EGS in njena dopolnila.
OPOMBA 4: Standard za proizvode EN 45502-1 in skupina standardov EN 45502-2-X opisujejo zahteve za različne vrste aktivnih medicinskih vsadkov. Različne vrste aktivnih medicinskih vsadkov so npr. srčni spodbujevalnik (EN 45502-2-1), kardioverter defibrilatorji za vsaditev (EN 45502-2-2), polžasti vsadki (EN 45502-2-3), nevrostimulatorji za vsaditev (ISO 14708-3), infuzijske črpalke za vsaditev (ISO 14708-4).
Če ocena tveganja v skladu s tem standardom ne privede do zaključka, so v posameznih standardih za ustrezne aktivne medicinke vsadke podane dodatne določbe za oceno izpostavljenosti delavcev za te vrste aktivnih medicinskih vsadkov (glej sliko 1).
