4 General requirements and general requirements for test 4.1 Modifications to Clause 3 of EN 60601-1:1990 Clause 3 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies with the following modifications. Replace 3.1 with the following: Nebulizing systems and nebulizers shall, when transported, stored, installed, operated in normal use and maintained according to the instructions of the manufacturer, cause no safety hazard which could reasonably be foreseen using risk management procedures in accordance with EN ISO 14971 and which is connected with their intended application, in normal condition and in single fault condition.

A situation in which a fault is not detected is considered a normal condition. Fault conditions/hazardous situations may remain undetected over a period of time and as a consequence may lead to an unacceptable risk. In that case subsequent fault conditions need to be considered as a single fault condition. Specific risk control measures need to be determined within the risk management process to deal with such situations. 4.2 Clause 4 of EN 60601-1:1990 Clause 4 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies.
