Foreword
The text of document 62B/779/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 60601-2-43, 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 60601-2-43 on 2010-06-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60601-2-43:2000 and partially supersedes
EN 60601-2-54:2009.
This particular standard has been revised to provide a complete set of safety requirements for X-RAY
EQUIPMENT for RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, based on EN 60601-1:2006 and
relevant collaterals. EN 60601-2-43:2010 is extended to become a system standard for X-RAY EQUIPMENT
designed for the use during interventional procedures using X-ray imaging, whether of prolonged or
normal duration.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
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) 2011-03-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2013-06-01
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.
Annexes ZA and ZZ have been added by CENELEC.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendation
