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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 62083 has been prepared by IEC subcommittee 62C: Equipment
for radiotherapy, nuclear medicine and radiation dosimetry, of IEC technical committee 62:
Electrical equipment in medical practice.
This second edition replaces the first edition of IEC 62083, published in 2000. This edition
constitutes a technical revision, which brings this standard in line with changes to the other
standards referred to in this standard.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

INTRODUCTION
A RADIOTHERAPY TREATMENT PLANNING SYSTEM (RTPS) is a device, usually a PROGRAMMABLE
ELECTRICAL MEDICAL 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, RESPONSIBLE
ORGANIZATION 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
OPERATOR to make informed choices during the TREATMENT PLANNING process.
Generally, an RTPS is not used in the presence of PATIENTS, so it 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.
• Relationship to other standards
The BASIC SAFETY of hardware, such as for protection against electric shock and fire, and for
assuring ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY requires that these subjects be addressed by the
MANUFACTURER 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.
A RTPS is principally a software application for medical purposes. IEC 62304 applies (see
Clause 14).
IEC 61217 gives guidance on the designation of ME 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.
IEC 62366 applies (see Clause 16).
