GOOD REFURBISHMENT PRACTICES
FOR MEDICAL IMAGING EQUIPMENT
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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard IEC 63077 has been prepared by subcommittee 62B: Diagnostic

imaging equipment, of IEC technical committee 62: Electrical equipment in medical practice.

This first edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC PAS 63077 published in 2016.

This edition constitutes a technical revision.

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC PAS

63077:2016:
a) the scope was delineated more clearly;

b) an informative cross reference list of IEC 63077 vs ISO 13485 (Annex A) was added;

c) smaller corrections were performed.

INTRODUCTION

This document specifies requirements for a quality management system that can be used by

organizations involved in REFURBISHMENT of MEDICAL IMAGING EQUIPMENT.

The requirements defined in this document can be used by MANUFACTURERS or organizations

providing REFURBISHMENT. Organizations providing REFURBISHMENT can voluntarily choose to

conform to the requirements of this document or can be required by contract with the

MANUFACTURER of the MEDICAL IMAGING EQUIPMENT to conform.

Several jurisdictions have regulatory requirements regarding refurbished MEDICAL IMAGING

EQUIPMENT e.g. regarding the import and making refurbished MEDICAL IMAGING EQUIPMENT

available. These regulatory requirements differ from nation to nation and region to region. The

organizations involved in REFURBISHMENT of MEDICAL IMAGING EQUIPMENT should understand

how the regulatory requirements in the several jurisdictions will be interpreted and may be

met by applying this document.

In some jurisdictions a definition of the term remanufacturer is available. This document does

not cover the topic of how organizations are acting in the role of a remanufacturer.

This document can also be used by internal and external parties, including certification bodies,

to assess the organization’s ability to meet requirements applicable for the REFURBISHMENT of

MEDICAL IMAGING EQUIPMENT.

It is emphasized that the requirements specified in this document are complementary to other

International Standards such as on quality management system and on RISK management.

There is a wide variety of medical equipment with different requirements on REFURBISHMENT.

Therefore, this document only applies to named groups of MEDICAL IMAGING EQUIPMENT. These

groups are defined in Clause 1 Scope.
