FDIS Report on voting
62A/462/FDIS 62A/469/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this amendment can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table.
The committee has decided that the contents of this amendment and the base publication will
remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or

___________
INTRODUCTION
This amendment contains a first series of revisions to IEC 60601-1-2 (second edition, 2001):
Medical electrical equipment – Part 1-2: General requirements for safety – Collateral
standard: Electromagnetic compatibility – Requirements and tests.
This amendment deals primarily with requirements for EQUIPMENT and SYSTEMS that:
• comply with CISPR 11 Group 2 Class B except for the third harmonic of the fundamental
frequency;
• are for use by healthcare professionals;
• are not intended for sale to the general public; and
• are intended for use in domestic establishments or connected to the PUBLIC MAINS

NETWORK.
However, this amendment also includes several other corrections and additions to IEC
60601-1-2:2001.
To meet needs for change that were identified by users of this Collateral Standard, it was
necessary to amend the standard before the previously approved maintenance cycle date.

3.201.2 Essential performance
Replace the existing text of this subclause with the following:
Either the essential performance of the EQUIPMENT or SYSTEM shall be identified (see Annex
GGG for guidance on identifying the essential performance) or the performance of all
FUNCTIONS of the EQUIPMENT or SYSTEM shall be considered essential performance for the
purpose of IMMUNITY testing (see 36.202.1 j)). The essential performance shall be disclosed in
the ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS.

the EMISSIONS of the SYSTEM to exceed applicable limits.
Compliance is checked by inspection of the documents for this determination and other
appropriate documents or certificates or, if this determination is not performed, by inspection
of the documents to verify that the non-medical electrical equipment has been tested in
accordance with this standard.
Add the following new subclause:
*3.201.5 General test conditions

Subclause 2.212
Add, on page 49, after the second dash, the following paragraph:
In this definition, “intended” means intended by the manufacturer of the EQUIPMENT or SYSTEM
and relates to the intended use / intended purpose of the EQUIPMENT or SYSTEM.
Subclause 2.225
Add, on page 50, the following new second paragraph:
EQUIPMENT and SYSTEMS are not connected to the PUBLIC MAINS NETWORK if they are used in
locations, e.g. hospitals, in which the mains connection is isolated from the public low-voltage
power supply network by transformers or substations.
Add, on page 50, the following new subclause:
Subclause 2.227
The IEV definition has been modified in this standard by replacing “equipment” with
“EQUIPMENT or SYSTEM”, replacing “in trades, professions or industries” with “by healthcare
professionals”, replacing “which” with “that” and deleting the NOTE. The NOTE was deleted
because while TYPE A PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT and SYSTEMS that are intended for use in
domestic establishments or connected to the PUBLIC MAINS NETWORK must be identified as
intended for use by healthcare professionals, they are not required to be identified as
“professional equipment”.
The scope of “for use by healthcare professionals” is narrower than that of “under medical
supervision”. “PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT or SYSTEM” in this amendment restricts the
applicability of the allowance specified in 36.201.1 a) 6) to EQUIPMENT and SYSTEMS dir

___________
INTRODUCTION
This amendment contains a first series of revisions to IEC 60601-1-2 (second edition, 2001):
Medical electrical equipment – Part 1-2: General requirements for safety – Collateral
standard: Electromagnetic compatibility – Requirements and tests.
This amendment deals primarily with requirements for EQUIPMENT and SYSTEMS that:
• comply with CISPR 11 Group 2 Class B except for the third harmonic of the fundamental
frequency;
• are for use by healthcare professionals;
• are not intended for sale to the general public; and
• are intended for use in domestic establishments or connected to the PUBLIC MAINS
.
NETWORK
However, this amendment also includes several other corrections and additions to IEC
60601-1-2:2001.
To meet needs for change that were identified by users of this Collateral Standard, it was
necessary to amend the standard before the previously approved maintenance cycle date.

– significant physical, technological or physiological limitations that prevent compliance
with the CISPR 11 Group 2 Class B electromagnetic radiation disturbance limit at the
third harmonic of the fundamental frequency of the EQUIPMENT or SYSTEM and
– the need for the use of the EQUIPMENT or SYSTEM in domestic establishments or

exigences d'essais d'IMMUNITE de cette norme, si toutes les conditions suivantes sont
satisfaites (voir également l'Annexe HHH):
– l'appareil non électromédical est conforme aux normes internationales d'IMMUNITE
applicables ;
– les EMISSIONS et l'IMMUNITE de l'appareil non électromédical utilisé dans un SYSTEME
ont été déterminées comme ne compromettant pas les performances essentielles ou la
sécurité du SYSTEME.

normalement être observée ou vérifiée pendant l'essai, une méthode doit être fournie (par
exemple affichage des paramètres internes) afin de déterminer la conformité.
L'utilisation de programme ou de matériel spécial peut être nécessaire.
