Rail systems for supporting medical equipment (ISO 19054:2005)

This International Standard specifies basic requirements to ensure compatibility between rail systems complying with this International Standard and medical equipment in order to facilitate the transfer of medical equipment from one rail system to another. The specifications for rail systems include dimensions, strength and information to be supplied by the manufacturer. This International Standard applies only to rail systems intended to be mounted horizontally. This International Standard does not specify either the structures to which a rail system can be attached or the types of medical equipment that can be supported. This International Standard does not apply to overhead rail systems for supporting curtains and infusion devices.

Diese Internationale Norm legt grundlegende Anforderungen fest, um die Kompatibilität zwischen den dieser Internationalen Norm entsprechenden Schienensystemen und medizinischen Geräten sicherzustellen, um das Umhängen eines medizinischen Gerätes von einem Schienensystem auf ein anderes zu erleichtern. Die Festlegungen für Schienensysteme beinhalten Maße, Stabilität und Informationen des Herstellers.
Diese Internationale Norm gilt nur für Schienensysteme, die horizontal montiert werden sollen.
Diese Internationale Norm enthält keine Festlegungen zu den Konstruktionen, an die die Schienensysteme angebracht werden können, und auch nicht zu den Arten der medizinischen Geräte, die gehalten werden sollen.
Diese Internationale Norm gilt nicht für an der Decke befindliche Schienensysteme zum Halten von Vorhängen und Infusionsgeräten.
ANMERKUNG 1   Einige medizinische Geräte können an eine Schiene mit Hilfe von Vorrichtungen befestigt werden, die nicht im Anwendungsbereich dieser Internationalen Norm liegen.
ANMERKUNG 2   Es wird angenommen, dass spezielle Normen erarbeitet werden, die Anwendungsbereiche abdecken, für die die in dieser Internationalen Norm festgelegten Schienensysteme nicht geeignet sind.

L'ISO 19054:2005 spécifie les exigences de base en vue d'assurer la compatibilité entre les systèmes de rails conformes à la présente Norme internationale et les appareils médicaux, afin de permettre l'interchangeabilité des appareils médicaux d'un système de rails à un autre. Les spécifications relatives aux systèmes de rails comprennent les dimensions, la résistance et les informations à fournir par le fabricant.
L'ISO 19054:2005 s'applique uniquement aux systèmes de rails destinés à être montés horizontalement.
L'ISO 19054:2005 internationale ne spécifie ni les structures ni les types de matériel médical qu'ils doivent porter ni ne s'applique aux tringles et potences servant à soutenir des rideaux et des dispositifs de perfusion.

Tračni nosilci za pritrditev medicinske opreme (ISO 19054:2005)

Ta mednarodni standard določa osnovne zahteve za zagotavljanje združljivosti med tlačnimi nosilci, ki izpolnjujejo zahteve tega mednarodnega standarda, in medicinsko opremo za lažji prenos medicinske opreme z enega tračnega nosilca na drugega. Specifikacije za tračne nosilce vključujejo dimenzije, moč in informacije, ki jih zagotovi proizvajalec. Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja samo za tračne nosilce za vodoravno montažo. Ta mednarodni standard ne določa konstrukcij, na katere se pritrdi tračne nosilce, ali vrst medicinske opreme, ki je lahko podprta. Ta mednarodni standard se ne uporablja za nadzemne tračne nosilce za podporo zaves in infuzijske opreme.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 19054:2005(E)
Introduction
This International Standard specifies basic requirements and dimensions for rail systems used for supporting
medical equipment. A rail system consists of a number of components that can be assembled into different
configurations.
Rail systems allow medical equipment such as flowmeters, suction devices and luminaires to be placed near
the patient. They can be mounted in many different locations in health care facilities and in ambulances and
other means of transportation and on many different pieces of equipment such as medical supply units, ceiling
pendants, trolleys, beds, ventilators and anaesthetic workstations.
Medical equipment can be attached to a rail by rail clamps directly or using other components of dimensions
which are specified in this International Standard. Rail clamps are required to be compatible with rails which
have dimensions specified in this International Standard.
Rail systems have to be fitted to different kinds of load-bearing structures which can vary from solid concrete
walls or thin plasterboard partitions to the covers of medical equipment. This can create hazards to the
equipment and to the patient. Patients with accompanying medical equipment are frequently moved either to
or within health care facilities. Lack of standardization of rail systems in different locations can create
hazardous situations in the transfer of the patient from one location to another.
Annex B contains rationale statements for some of the requirements of this International Standard. It is
included to provide additional insight into the reasoning that led to the requirements and recommendations
that have been incorporated in this International Standard. The clauses and subclauses marked with an
asterisk (*) after their number have corresponding rationale contained in Annex B. It is considered that
knowledge of the reasons for the requirements will not only facilitate the proper application of this International
Standard, but will expedite any subsequent revisions.

Rail systems for supporting medical equipment
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies basic requirements to ensure compatibility between rail systems
complying with this International Standard and medical equipment in order to facilitate the transfer of medical
equipment from one rail system to another. The specifications for rail systems include dimensions, strength
and information to be supplied by the manufacturer.
This International Standard applies only to rail systems intended to be mounted horizontally.
This International Standard does not specify either the structures to which a rail system can be attached or the
types of medical equipment that can be supported.
This International Standard does not apply to overhead rail systems for supporting curtains and infusion
devices.
NOTE 1 Some medical equipment can be attached to the rail by means that are outside the scope of this International
Standard.
NOTE 2 It is expected that particular standards will be prepared to cover applications for which the rail systems
specified in this International Standard are unsuitable.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
