Evaluation and routine testing in medical imaging departments - Part 3-7: Acceptance and constancy tests - Imaging performance of X-ray equipment for dental cone beam computed tomography (IEC 61223-3-7:2021)
This part of IEC 61223 applies to DENTAL CONE-BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY X-RAY EQUIPMENT,
hereafter also called DENTAL CBCT EQUIPMENT, that conforms to IEC 60601-2-63:2012+AMD1:2017+AMD2:2021.
NOTE 1 DENTAL CBCT EQUIPMENT is a subset of DENTAL EXTRA-ORAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT.
NOTE 2 DENTAL EXTRA-ORAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT can provide one or more of PANORAMIC, CEPHALOMETRIC, tomosynthesis and DENTAL CBCT imaging modalities, all of which are in the scope of the IEC 60601-2-63 basic safety and performance standard.
This document applies to ACCEPTANCE TESTS and CONSTANCY TESTS on DENTAL CONE-BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY X-RAY EQUIPMENT.
The aim of ACCEPTANCE TESTS is to verify compliance of the installation or MAJOR SERVICE ACTION with specifications affecting the image quality, RADIATION OUTPUT and PATIENT positioning. The requirements specified in this document are minimal requirements. The MANUFACTURER can establish criteria for the tests described here that exceed the levels contained in this document. CONSTANCY TESTS are performed to ensure that the functional performance of ME EQUIPMENTmeets established criteria and to enable the early recognition of changes in the properties of components of the ME EQUIPMENT, and to verify compliance with specifications affecting the image quality, RADIATION OUTPUT and PATIENT positioning.
This document also contains requirements for the ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS associated with ACCEPTANCE AND CONSTANCY TESTING of the DENTAL CBCT EQUIPMENT.
This document does not apply to:
– aspects of thermal, EMD (electromagnetic disturbances), mechanical and electrical safety;
– aspects of mechanical, electrical and software performance, unless they are essential for performing the ACCEPTANCE TESTS and CONSTANCY TESTS, and directly affect image quality, RADIATION OUTPUT and PATIENT positioning.
NOTE 3 Such aspects are generally addressed by IEC 60601-1 (all parts).
Equipment in the scope of IEC 61223-3-5 is excluded from the scope of this document.
DENTAL EXTRA-ORAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT can provide modalities which are in the scope of IEC 61223-3-4. In this case, the respective clauses of the IEC 61223-3-4 apply.
The object of this document is to establish:
– the essential parameters which describe the performance of DENTAL CBCT EQUIPMENT with regard to the image quality, RADIATION OUTPUT and PATIENT positioning;
– methods of testing and whether measured quantities related to those parameters comply with the specified requirements.
These methods rely on non-invasive measurements performed once the installation or a MAJOR SERVICE ACTION is completed.

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 61223-3-7 has been prepared by subcommittee 62B: Diagnostic
imaging equipment, of IEC technical committee 62: Electrical equipment in medical practice.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting

INTRODUCTION
This document provides methods for acceptance testing and constancy testing for DENTAL CONE-
BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY X-RAY EQUIPMENT.
The complete set of ACCEPTANCE TESTS is to be carried out after the EQUIPMENT has been
installed, or a subset of the tests is to be carried out after each MAJOR SERVICE ACTION that is
made to installed EQUIPMENT. This is done to facilitate verification of applicable safety and
performance standards, regulations, and published and/or contractual specifications that
influence the image quality, RADIATION OUTPUT and PATIENT positioning.
The complete set of CONSTANCY TESTS is to be carried out periodically at installed EQUIPMENT.
This is done to facilitate verification of stability of the EQUIPMENT according to the applicable
safety and performance standards, regulati
