Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for safety - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements and tests

Specifies requirements and tests for electromagnetic compatibility of medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems and serves as the basis of electromagnetic compatibility requirements and tests in Particular Standards. The existence of electromagnetic emission requirements is essential for the protection of: - safety services; - other medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems; - non-medical electrical equipment (e.g. computers); - telecommunications (e.g. radio/TV, telephone, radio-navigation). The existence of electromagnetic immunity requirements is essential to assure safety of equipment and systems. The immunity test levels specified in this standard (EN 60601 test levels) represent the range found in the general medical use environment.

Foreword
The text of document 62A/336/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 60601-1-2, prepared by SC 62A, Common
aspects of electrical equipment used in medical practice, of IEC TC 62, Electrical equipment in
medical practice, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as
EN 60601-1-2 on 2001-11-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60601-1-2:1993.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2002-08-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2004-11-01
This European Standard is a Collateral Standard to EN 60601-1:1990, hereinafter referred to as the
General Standard.
In the EN 60601 series of publications, Collateral Standards specify general requirements for safety
applicable to:
– a group of MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT (e.g. radiological equipment);
– a specific characteristic of all MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT not fully addressed in the General
Standard (e.g. ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY).
In addition, EN 60601-1-1 has expanded the scope of the general standard to include MEDICAL
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. In recognition of that expanded scope, this edition of the EMC Collateral
Standard takes into account the fact that the general standard now applies to MEDICAL ELECTRICAL
SYSTEMS as well as MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT and includes EMC requirements that are, in most
cases, applicable to all parts of the SYSTEM.
The numbering of sections, clauses and subclauses of this Collateral Standard corresponds with that
of the General Standard.
Subclauses and figures that are additional to those of the General Standard are numbered starting
from 201; additional annexes are lettered AAA, BBB, etc.
In this Collateral Standard, the following print types are used:
– requirements, compliance with which can be tested and definitions: in roman type;
– explanations, advice, general statements, exceptions and references: in smaller type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– TERMS DEFINED IN CLAUSE 2 OF THE GENERAL STANDARD OR OF THIS COLLATERAL STANDARD: SMALL
CAPITALS.
NOTE Defined terms are not printed in SMALL CAPITALS in Tables 201-208, in the tables in Annex BBB and in statements
required to appear in the ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS or instructions for use because they are intended for the custo
