This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2008-03-01. 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,

Foreword
The text of document 62B/673/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 60601-1-3, prepared by SC 62B, Diagnostic
imaging equipment, of IEC TC 62, Electrical equipment in medical practice, was submitted to the
IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 60601-1-3 on 2008-03-01.
The following date was fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented

at national level by publication of an identical
(dop) 2008-12-01
national standard or by endorsement
This European Standard supersedes EN 60601-1-3:1994. However, EN 60601-1-3:1994 remains valid
until all the Parts 2 that are used in conjunction with it have been withdrawn. No date of withdrawal of
conflicting national standards (dow) has therefore been fixed. However, when Part 1-3 is used for
appliances not covered by a Part 2, EN 60601-1-3:1994 is not to be used after 2009-09-12.
This EN 60601-1-3 has been restructured and aligned to EN 60601-1:2006 and focussed on general
requirements for RADIATION PROTECTION that apply to all diagnostic X-RAY EQUIPMENT. Requirements
particular to specific equipment have been removed and will be covered in particular standards. For a
description of the changes, see the mapping in Annex C.
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.
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 NOTED: IN
SMALL CAPITALS.
In referring to the structure of this standard, the term
– “clause” means one of the thirteen numbered divisions within the table of contents, inclusive of all
subdivisions (e.g. Clause 7 includes Subclauses 7.1, 7.2, etc.);
– “subclause” means a numbered subdivision of a clause (e.g. 7.1, 7.2 and 7.2.1 are all subclauses of
Clause 7).
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.
- 3 - EN 60601-1-3:2008
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 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.
