Introduction
In this document, the following print types are used:
 Requirements and definitions: roman type.
 Terms defined in Clause 3 of the general standard, in this particular standard and test specifications:
italic type.
 Informative material appearing outside of tables, such as notes, examples and references: in smaller
type. Normative text of tables is also in a smaller type.
In referring to the structure of this document, the term
 “clause” means one of the eight numbered divisions within the table of contents, inclusive of all
subdivisions (e.g. Clause 201 includes subclauses 201.7, 201.8, etc.);
 “subclause” means a numbered subdivision of a clause (e.g. 201.7, 201.8 and 201.12 are all
subclauses of Clause 201.7).
References to clauses within this document are preceded by the term “Clause” followed by the clause
number. References to subclauses within this document are by number only.
In this document, the conjunctive “or” is used as an “inclusive or” so a statement is true if any combination
of the conditions is true.
For the purposes of this document, the auxiliary verb:
 “shall” means that conformance with a requirement or a test is mandatory for conformity with this
document;
 “should” means that conformance with a requirement or a test is recommended but is not mandatory
for conformance with this document;
 “may” is used to describe permission (e. g. a permissible way to achieve conformance with a
requirement or test);
 "can" is used to describe a possibility or capability; and
 "must" is used to express an external constraint.
An asterisk (*) as the first character of a title or at the beginning of a paragraph or table title indicates
that there is guidance or rationale related to that item in Annex AA.
This document considers both an anaesthetic workstation supplied complete and its individual
components in combination with its accessories. It has been structured to allow responsible organizations
to configure an anaesthetic workstation from individual components in conformance with professional
guidelines and to meet the needs of their clinical practice. In order to achieve this aim, this document
identifies particular requirements pertinent to specific anaesthetic workstation components, including
associated monitoring equipment, alarm system(s) and protection device(s), and defines the interfaces.
Thus this document also defines requirements for individual components that can be used to form an
anaesthetic workstation.

201.1.4 *Particular standards
Addition:
The numbering of clauses and subclauses of this document corresponds to that of IEC 60601-1 (the
general standard) with the prefix “201” (e.g. 201.1 in this document 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 document addresses the content of
Clause 4 of the IEC 60601-1-2 collateral standard, 206.4 in this document addresses the content of
Clause 4 of the IEC 60601-1-6 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 document.
“Addition” means that the text of this document is additional to the requirements of the general standard
or applicable collateral standard.

Subclauses or figures 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, 206 for IEC 60601-1-6,
etc.
The term “this document” 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 document, 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 document.
If an anaesthetic workstation is supplied with physiological monitoring, having more than one applied
part on the patient, then IEC 80601-2-49:2018 applies. Measured parameters related to the inherent
function of an anaesthetic workstation (i.e. airway pressure, ventilation volume, oxygen concentration,
volatile anaesthetic agent concentration, CO /N O), including derived and related parameters such as

117 Introduction
118 In this document, the following print types are used:
119  Requirements and definitions: roman type.
120  Terms defined in Clause 3 of the general standard, in this particular standard and test
121 specifications: italic type.
122  Informative material appearing outside of tables, such as notes, examples and references: in smaller
123 type. Normative text of tables is also in a smaller type.
124 In referring to the structure of this document, the term
125  “clause” means one of the seventeen numbered divisions within the table of contents, inclusive of
126 all subdivisions (e.g. Clause 7 includes subclauses 7.1, 7.2, etc.);
127  “subclause” means a numbered subdivision of a clause (e.g. 201.7.1, 201.7.2 and 201.7.2.1 are all
128 subclauses of Clause 201.7).
129 References to clauses within this document are preceded by the term “Clause” followed by the clause
130 number. References to subclauses within this document are by number only.
131 In this document, the conjunctive “or” is used as an “inclusive or” so a statement is true if any
132 combination of the conditions is true.
133 The verbal forms used in this document conform to usage described in Clause 7 of the
134 ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. For the purposes of this document, the auxiliary verb:
135  “shall” means that conformance with a requirement or a test is mandatory for conformity with this
136 document;
137  “should” means that conformance with a requirement or a test is recommended but is not
138 mandatory for conformance with this document;
139  “may” is used to describe permission (e. g. a permissible way to achieve conformance with a
140 requirement or test);
141  "can" is used to describe a possibility or capability; and
142  "must" is used to express an external constraint.
143 An asterisk (*) as the first character of a title or at the beginning of a paragraph or table title indicates
144 that there is guidance or rationale related to that item in Annex AA.
145 This document considers both an anaesthetic workstation supplied complete and its individual
146 components in combination with its accessories. It has been structured to allow responsible
147 organizations to configure an anaesthetic workstation from individual components in conformance with
148 professional guidelines and to meet the needs of their clinical practice. In order to achieve this aim, this
149 document identifies particular requirements pertinent to specific anaesthetic workstation components,
150 including associated monitoring equipment, alarm system(s) and protection device(s), and defines the
151 interfaces.
152 Thus this document also defines requirements for individual components that can be used to form an
153 anaesthetic workstation.
