The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
IEC 60601-2-24:2012 applies to the basic safety and essential performance of infusion pumps and volumetric infusion controllers. This standard applies to administration sets insofar as their characteristics influence the basic safety or essential performance of infusion pumps and volumetric infusion controllers. However this standard does not specify requirements or tests for other aspects of administration sets. This particular standard specifies the requirements for enteral nutrition pumps, infusion pumps, infusion pumps for ambulatory use, syringe or container pumps, volumetric infusion controllers and volumetric infusion pumps. This particular standard does not apply to the following: devices specifically intended for diagnostic or similar use; devices for extracorporeal circulation of blood; implantable devices; equipment specifically intended for diagnostic use within urodynamics; equipment specifically intended for diagnostic use within male impotence testing; and devices covered by ISO 28620. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60601-2-24. This edition constitutes a technical revision according to IEC 60601-1:2005+A1:2012 with new clause numbering, including usability and alarms.
