IEC 80601-2-26:2019 s'applique à la SECURITE DE BASE et aux PERFORMANCES ESSENTIELLES des ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHES définis en 201.3.204, aussi appelés APPAREILS EM ou SYSTEMES EM dans la présente norme. Le présent document est applicable aux ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHES destinés à être utilisés dans les établissements de soins professionnels, l'ENVIRONNEMENT DES SERVICES MEDICAUX D'URGENCE ou l'ENVIRONNEMENT DES SOINS A DOMICILE. Les exigences propres à d'autres appareils également utilisés en électroencéphalographie ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application du présent document, par exemple: – stimulateurs phonophotiques; – appareils de stockage et restitution d'informations d'EEG; – APPAREILS EM destinés particulièrement à la surveillance au cours d'une thérapie électro-convulsive. Si un article ou un paragraphe est spécifiquement destiné à être applicable uniquement aux APPAREILS EM ou uniquement aux SYSTEMES EM, le titre ou le contenu de cet article ou de ce paragraphe l'indique. Si ce n'est pas le cas, l'article ou le paragraphe s'applique à la fois aux APPAREILS EM et aux SYSTEMES EM, comme suit. L'article ou le paragraphe s'applique aux APPAREILS EM, par défaut. Pour les APPAREILS EM dont la mesure ou la fonction de sécurité correspondante n'est pas complètement intégrée dans l'APPAREIL EM, mais plutôt mise en œuvre dans un SYSTEME EM, le FABRICANT de l'APPAREIL EM spécifie dans les DOCUMENTS D'ACCOMPAGNEMENT les exigences de fonctionnalité et de sécurité qu'assure le SYSTEME EM pour être conforme au présent document. Le SYSTEME EM est vérifié en conséquence. Les DANGERS inhérents à la fonction physiologique prévue des APPAREILS EM ou des SYSTEMES EM dans le cadre du domaine d'application du présent document ne sont pas couverts par des exigences spécifiques contenues dans le présent document. IEC 80601-2-26:2019 annule et remplace la troisième édition de l'IEC 60601-2-26 parue en 2012. Cette édition constitue une révision technique destinée à s'aligner sur l'Amendement 1:2012 de l'IEC 60601-1:2005 et sur les nouvelles versions des normes collatérales et leurs amendements.

AMENDMENT 1
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC and ISO draw attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC and ISO take no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC and ISO had not received notice of
(a) patent(s), which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this
may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
https://patents.iec.ch and/or www.iso.org/patents. IEC and ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any
or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to IEC 80601-2-26:2019 has been prepared by subcommittee 62D: Particular
medical equipment, software, and systems, of IEC technical committee 62: Medical equipment,
software, and systems, and ISO subcommittee SC3: Respiratory devices and related equipment
used for patient care, of ISO technical committee 121: Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment.

Draft Report on voting
62D/2106/FDIS 62D/2115/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this Amendment is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/standardsdev/publications/.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,or
• revised.
NOTE The attention of users of this document is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC or
ISO publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for
conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be
adopted for mandatory implementation nationally not earlier than 3 years from the date of publication.
