This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2007-04-11. CENELEC members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.
CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

The following date was fixed: – latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn

2012-06-01 This European Standard supersedes EN 60601-1-2:2001 and its amendment A1:2006.
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and covers essential requirements of EC Directive 93/42/EEC. See Annex ZZ. This European Standard constitutes a collateral standard to EN 60601-1:2006, hereafter referred to as the general standard. This EN 60601-1-2 was revised to structurally align it with EN 60601-1:2006 and to implement the decision of IEC SC 62A that the clause numbering structure of collateral standards written to EN 60601-1:2006 would adhere to the form specified in ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2:2004. The principle technical changes are in Clause 4, which now recognizes that there is a general requirement for a risk management process in EN 60601-1:2006. In the 60601 series of publications, collateral standards specify general requirements for safety applicable to – a subgroup of MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT (e.g. radiological equipment); or – a specific characteristic of all MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, not fully addressed in the general standard (e.g. alarm systems). In this collateral standard the following print types are used: − requirements and definitions: in roman type; − test specifications: in 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; − TERMS DEFINED IN CLAUSE 3 OF THE GENERAL STANDARD, IN THIS COLLATERAL STANDARD OR AS NOTES: IN SMALL CAPITALS. NOTE Defined terms are not printed in SMALL CAPITALS in Table 1 through Table 8, in the tables in Annex C and in statements required to appear in the technical description or instructions for use because they are intended for the OPERATOR or RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION, who may not be familiar with the defined terms of EN 60601 standards. In referring to the structure of this standard, the term – “clause” means one of the six numbered divisions within the table of contents, inclusive of all subdivisions (e.g. Clause 6 includes Subclauses 6.1, 6.2, etc.); –
“subclause” means a numbered subdivision of a clause (e.g. 6.1, 6.2 and 6.2.1 are all subclauses of Clause 6). SIST EN 60601-1-2:2008

- 3 - EN 60601-1-2:2007 References to clauses within this standard are preceded by the term “Clause” followed by the clause number. References to subclauses within this standard are by number only.
In this standard, the conjunctive “or” is used as an “inclusive or” so a statement is true if any combination of the conditions is true. The verbal forms used in this standard conform to usage described in Annex H of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. For the purposes of this standard, the auxiliary verb: − “shall” means that compliance with a requirement or a test is mandatory for compliance with this standard; − “should” means that compliance with a requirement or a test is recommended but is not mandatory for compliance with this standard; − “may” is used to describe a permissible way to achieve compliance with a requirement or test. Clauses, subclauses, items and definitions for which a rationale is provided in informative Annex A are marked with an asterisk (*). Annexes ZA and ZZ have been added by CENELEC. __________ The contents of the corrigendum of March 2010 have been included in this copy. SIST EN 60601-1-2:2008
