2 Normative references
Replace the following normative reference:
IEC 60364-7-710, Electrical installations of buildings – Part 7-710: Requirements for special installations
or locations – Medical locations
with:
IEC 60364-7-710, Low-voltage electrical installations – Part 7-710: Requirements for special
installations or locations – Medical locations
4.2 ESD effects on equipment
Replace the fifth paragraph of 4.2 with the following text:
Discharges from isolated conductors or from a human body can be prevented with grounding.
Conductive parts of patient beds, intravenous stands, trolleys, delivery carts, over-bed tables, chairs,
and other mobile metal objects are not normally connected to the protective earth. Therefore, grounding
all conductive parts of every item through the flooring or with direct electrical connection to a functional
ground becomes essential for electrostatic control.
5.3.1 Classification by groups
Replace the second paragraph of 5.3.1 with the following text:
Selection of materials to reduce residual charge levels is recommended in all locations. Grounding of
personnel and other conductors is recommended in G0, is conditionally required in G1 locations (see
5.3.4) and is required in G2 locations. Electrostatic control methods for each location are summarised
in Table 1.
Replace Table 1 with the following table:
