This International Standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of GAMMA
BEAM THERAPY EQUIPMENT, including MULTI-SOURCE STEREOTACTIC RADIOTHERAPY equipment,
hereafter referred to as ME EQUIPMENT.
If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME EQUIPMENT only, or to
ME SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the
case, the clause or subclause applies both to ME EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant.
HAZARDS inherent in the intended physiological function of ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEMS
within the scope of this standard are not covered by specific requirements in this standard
except in 7.2.13 and 8.4.1 of the general standard.

Appareils électromédicaux - Part 2-11: Règles particulières de sécurité de base et de performances essentielles pour les appareils de gammathérapie
La CEI 60601-2-11:2013 s'applique à la sécurité de base et aux performances essentielles des appareils de gammathérapie, y compris les appareils de radiothérapie stéréotaxique multi-sources. La présente norme particulière, partie de la série 60601, définit des exigences que les fabricants sont tenus de respecter dans la conception et la construction des appareils de gammathérapie. Elle indique les limites de tolérance au-delà desquelles des verrouillages doivent empêcher, interrompre ou terminer l'irradiation de manière à éviter une situation dangereuse. Les essais de type effectués par le fabricant ou les essais sur le site qui ne sont pas nécessairement effectués par le fabricant, sont spécifiés pour chacune des exigences. Cette Norme ne vise pas à définir des exigences de performances optimales pour les appareils de gammathérapie utilisés en radiothérapie. Il a pour objet d'identifier les caractéristiques de conception reconnues actuellement comme essentielles pour la sécurité de fonctionnement de tels appareils. Il fixe des limites de détérioration des performances des appareils, auxquelles il peut être présumé qu'une condition de défaut existe, par exemple, la défaillance d'un composant, et pour laquelle un verrouillage entre alors en action pour arrêter le fonctionnement. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition de la CEI 60601-2-11 parue en 1997 et l'amendement 1:2004. La présente édition constitue une révision technique qui met la présente norme en conformité avec la troisième édition de la CEI 60601-1 et ses normes collatérales.

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.

INTRODUCTION
The use of GAMMA BEAM THERAPY EQUIPMENT for RADIOTHERAPY purposes may expose PATIENTS
to danger if the ME equipment fails to deliver the required dose to the PATIENT, or if the
ME equipment design does not satisfy standards of electrical and mechanical safety. The
ME EQUIPMENT may also cause danger to persons in the vicinity if the ME equipment itself fails
to contain the RADIATION adequately or if there are inadequacies in the design of the
TREATMENT ROOM.
This particular standard establishes requirements to be complied with by MANUFACTURERS in
the design and construction of gamma beam therapy equipment. Subclause 201.10.2 states
tolerance limits beyond which INTERLOCKS must prevent, INTERRUPT or TERMINATE IRRADIATION
in order to avoid an unsafe condition. TYPE TESTS which are performed by the MANUFACTURER,
or SITE TESTS, which are not necessarily performed by the MANUFACTURER, are specified for
each requirement.
Subclause 201.10.2 does not attempt to define the optimum performance requirements for a
GAMMA BEAM THERAPY EQUIPMENT for use in RADIOTHERAPY. Its purpose is to identify those
features of design which are regarded at the present time as essential for the safe operation
of such ME EQUIPMENT. It places limits on the degradation of ME EQUIPMENT performance at
which it can be presumed that a fault condition applies, e.g. a component failure, and where
an INTERLOCK then operates to prevent continued operation of the ME EQUIPMENT.
It should be understood that, before installation, a MANUFACTURER can provide a compliance
certificate relating only to TYPE TESTS. Data available from SITE TESTS should be incorporated
in the ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS, in the form of a SITE TEST report, by those who test the
ME EQUIPMENT after installation.
The relationship of this particular standard with IEC 60601-1 (including the amendments) and
the collateral standards is explained in 201.1.3 and 201.1.4.

and essential performance of gamma beam therapy equipment
201.1 Scope, object and related standards
1
Clause 1 of the general standard applies, except as follows:
201.1.1 Scope
Replacement:
This International Standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of GAMMA
BEAM THERAPY EQUIPMENT, including MULTI-SOURCE STEREOTACTIC RADIOTHERAPY equipment,
hereafter referred to as ME EQUIPMENT.
If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME EQUIPMENT only, or to
ME SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the
case, the clause or subclause applies both to ME EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant.
HAZARDS inherent in the intended physiological function of ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEMS
within the scope of this standard are not covered by specific requirements in this standard
except in 7.2.13 and 8.4.1 of the general standard.
NOTE See also 4.2 of the general standard.
201.1.2 Object
Replacement:
The object of this particular standard is to establish particular BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL
PERFORMANCE requirements for GAMMA BEAM THERAPY EQUIPMENT.
201.1.3 Collateral standards
Addition:
This particular standard refers to those applicable collateral standards that are listed in
Clause 2 of the general standard and Clause 201.2 of this particular standard.
IEC 60601-1-3 and IEC 60601-1-10 do not apply. All other published collateral standards in
the IEC 60601-1 series apply as published.

201.1.4 Particular standards
Replacement:
In the IEC 60601 series, particular standards may modify, replace or delete requirements
contained in the general standard and collateral standards as appropriate for the particular
ME EQUIPMENT under consideration, and may add other BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL
PERFORMANCE requirements.
A requirement of a particular standard takes priority over the general standard.
For brevity, IEC 60601-1 is referred to in this particular standard as the general standard.
Collateral standards are referred to by their document number.
The numbering of clauses and subclauses of this particular standard corresponds to that of
the general standard with the prefix “201” (e.g. 201.1 in this standard addresses the content
of Clause 1 of the general standard) or applicable collateral standard with the prefix “20x”
where x is the final digit(s) of the collateral standard document number (e.g. 202.4 in this
particular standard addresses the content of Clause 4 of the IEC 60601-1-2 collateral
standard, 203.4 in this particular standard addresses the content of Clause 4 of the
IEC 60601-1-3 collateral standard, etc.). The changes to the text of the general standard are
specified by the use of the following words:
"Replacement" means that the clause or subclause of the general standard or applicable
collateral standard is replaced completely by the text of this particular standard.
"Addition" means that the text of this particular standard is additional to the requirements of
the general standard or applicable collateral standard.
"Amendment" means that the clause or subclause of the general standard or applicable
collateral standard is amended as indicated by the text of this particular standard.
Subclauses, figures or tables which are additional to those of the general standard are
numbered starting from 201.101. However due to the fact that definitions in the general
standard are numbered 3.1 through 3.139, additional definitions in this standard are
numbered beginning from 201.3.201. Additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc., and
additional items aa), bb), etc.
Subclauses, figures or tables which are additional to those of a collateral standard are
numbered starting from 20x, where “x” is the number of the collateral standard, e.g. 202 for
IEC 60601-1-2, 203 for IEC 60601-1-3, etc.
The term "this standard" is used to make reference to the general standard, any applicable
collateral standards and this particular standard taken together.
Where there is no corresponding clause or subclause in this particular standard, the clause or
subclause of the general standard or applicable collateral standard, although possibly not
relevant, applies without modification; where it is intended that any part of the general
standard or applicable collateral standard, although possibly relevant, is not to be applied, a
statement to that effect is given in this particular standard.
