11 FOREWORD
12 Amendment 1 to IEC 60601-2-28:2017 has been prepared by subcommittee 62B: Medical
13 imaging equipment, software, and systems, of IEC technical committee 62: Medical equipment,
14 software, and systems.
15 The text of this Amendment is based on the following documents:
Draft / FDIS Report on voting
62B/XXXX/FDIS 62B/XXXX/RVD
17 Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
18 the above table.
19 The language used for the development of this amendment is English.
20 This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
21 accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
22 at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
23 described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications.
24 The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
25 stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
26 specific document. At this date, the document will be
27 • reconfirmed,
28 • withdrawn,
29 • replaced by a revised edition, or
30 • amended.
31 NOTE The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment MANUFACTURERS and testing
32 organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in
33 which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or
34 revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for
35 implementation nationally not earlier than 3 years from the date of publication.

39 INTRODUCTION to Amendment 1
40 This first amendment to the third edition of IEC 60601-2-28 has been prepared to provide a
41 complete set of safety requirements for X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLIES, based on the second
42 amendment (2020) to IEC 60601-1:2005 and associated collateral standards. It corrects
43 references to actual standards (e.g. IEC 60336, IEC 60522-1, and the IEC 60601 series) and
44 clarifies single requirements within the standard.
45 Users of this document should note that when constructing the dated references to specific
46 elements in a standard, such as definitions, amendments are only referenced if they modified
47 the text being cited. For example, if a reference is made to a definition that has not been
48 modified by an amendment, then the reference to the amendment is not included in the dated
49 reference.

96 The markings shall enable individual products, series or types to be correlated with their
97 ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS.
98 The markings on the X-RAY TUBE shall remain CLEARLY LEGIBLE during the EXPECTED SERVICE
99 LIFE.

115 Replace the existing NOTE 104 with:
116 NOTE 104 Instead of the USABILITY ENGINEERING PROCESS (IEC 60601-1-6 is not applicable for an X-RAY TUBE
117 ASSEMBLY), the RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS (based on ISO 14971:2019 and its accompanying TR – ISO/TR
118 24971:2020) is the carrier of the considerations. ISO 14971:2019, 5.2 (INTENDED USE and reasonable foreseeable
119 misuse) and ISO/TR 24971:2020 A.2.31 (USABILITY of the user interface) cover the USABILITY aspects of X-RAY TUBE
120 ASSEMBLIES sufficiently.
