26 INTRODUCTION to Amendment 1

27 At the October 2019 meeting of IEC SC 62D in Shanghai, China, the subcommittee discussed

28 the need for administrative/technical changes to most 62D standards after completion of the

29 amendment projects within the IEC 60601-1 series. Those projects were all completed and the

30 amendments published in 2020.

31 The full list of IEC SC 62D documents that will be amended or revised may be found within the

32 IEC document 62D/1792/DC. The results and comments on the DC may be found within

33 62D1808/INF. The review report for this amendment is 62D/1817/RR.

110 shall have a measuring range of at least 20 °C to 40 °C. If the temperature sensitive component

111 of any device is located at a point where the air temperature consistently differs from the

112 TRANSPORT INCUBATOR TEMPERATURE, the device may be specially calibrated with an offset in
