participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
A RADIOTHERAPY TREATMENT PLANNING SYSTEM (RTPS) is a device, usually a PROGRAMMABLE
ELECTRONIC SYSTEM, that is used to simulate the application of RADIATION to a PATIENT for a
proposed RADIOTHERAPY treatment. It usually, but not necessarily, provides estimates of
ABSORBED DOSE distribution in human tissue using a particular algorithm or algorithms. These
estimations, referred to in this International Standard as ABSORBED DOSE distributions, are used
by a QUALIFIED PERSON in planning a course of RADIOTHERAPY.
The output of an RTPS is used by appropriately QUALIFIED PERSONS as important information in
RADIOTHERAPY TREATMENT PLANNING. Inaccuracies in the input data, the limitations of the
algorithms, errors in the TREATMENT PLANNING process, or improper use of output data, may
represent a SAFETY HAZARD to PATIENTS should the resulting data be used for treatment
purposes. This standard defines requirements to be complied with by MANUFACTURERS in the
design and construction of an RTPS in order to provide protection against the occurrence of
such HAZARDS.
Specific types of input data and calculation algorithms are not addressed in this standard.
These are dependent on many factors, such as available technology, USER preference, and the
type of treatment being planned. However, this standard establishes the SAFETY requirements
that are common to algorithms. It also establishes the minimum requirements for the contents
of the ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS that will permit the USER to make informed choices during the
TREATMENT PLANNING process.
NOTE As it is not used in the presence of PATIENTS, an RTPS is not MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT as defined
by IEC 60601-1. Consequently, this standard is written in an independent format rather than as a particular
standard to IEC 60601-1. Clause 3 contains related information.

MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT –
Requirements for the safety of
radiotherapy treatment planning systems
1 Scope and object
This International Standard applies to the design, manufacture and some installation aspects of
an RTPS
– for use in RADIOTHERAPY TREATMENT PLANNING in human medical practice;
– that imports data either through input by the OPERATOR or direct from other devices;
– that outputs data either in printed form for review or direct to other devices;
– and which is intended to be
• for NORMAL USE, under the authority of appropriately licensed or QUALIFIED PERSONS, by
OPERATORS having the required skills and training;
• maintained in accordance with the recommendations given in the INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE, and
• used within the environmental and electrical supply conditions SPECIFIED in the technical
description.
An RTPS developed by a USER for its own use exclusively is not within the scope of this
standard, but it is highly recommended that the principles of this standard be applied in its
creation and use. If such an RTPS is provided to another USER in which the developers do not
directly control its use, and is represented as being suitable for use, then the developers
MANUFACTURER
assume the role of , and this standard applies.
An RTPS is principally a software application, and the object of this standard is to establish
the requirements for features, associated documentation, and testing of the software.
Requirements for SAFETY of hardware are not included in this standard, as they vary with the
nature of the hardware. See 3.1 and annex A for hardware requirements.
2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text,
constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent
amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to
agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility
of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated
references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of IEC
and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

3.1 Hardware SAFETY standards
Requirements for the SAFETY of hardware, such as for protection against electric shock and
fire, and to assure for ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY, are not included in this standard.
SAFETY requires that these subjects be addressed by the MANUFACTURER separately through
compliance with an appropriate standard, depending upon the nature and environment of the
hardware used for the RTPS. See annex A for hardware SAFETY standards.
3.2 Software SAFETY standards
An RTPS is principally a software application for a medical purpose.
IEC Collateral Standard 60601-1-4 applies (see clause 16).
3.3 IEC 61217 Radiotherapy equipment – Coordinates, movements and scales
IEC 61217 gives guidance on the designation of EQUIPMENT movements, the marking of scales,
their zero position and the direction of movement with increasing value. The means of applying
IEC 61217 are specified in appropriate clauses and subclauses of this standard.
4 Terminology and definitions
