54 FOREWORD
55 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
56 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
57 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
58 addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
59 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
60 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
61 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
62 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
63 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
64 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
65 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
66 interested IEC National Committees.
67 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
68 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
69 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
70 misinterpretation by any end user.
71 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
72 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
73 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
74 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
75 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
76 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
77 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
78 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
79 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
80 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
81 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
82 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
83 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
84 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
85 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

110 INTRODUCTION
111 The aim of this document is to support a MANUFACTURER or a REFURBISHER of MEDICAL ELECTRICAL
112 EQUIPMENT (MEE) and MEDICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS (MES) with a framework within which
113 experience, insight and judgment are applied systematically to manage the HAZARDS associated
114 with REFURBISHMENT activities. It deals with PROCESSES for managing HAZARDS, primarily to the
115 patient, but also the operator and other persons.
116 The principles of RISK MANAGEMENT for Medical Devices which are specified in ISO 14971 are
117 not modified by this document; the aim of REFURBISHMENT is to contribute to circular economy
118 aspects for MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT (MEE) or MEDICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS (MES) and to
119 support material efficiency to improve the environmental aspects of MEE and MES. This document
120 specifies the necessary additional RISK MANAGEMENT steps. These are used to extend the life
121 cycle of MEE/MES to at least one second lifetime. While circular economy plays a key role to
122 contribute to the environmental impact, BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of MEE/MES
123 may not be compromised.
124 A key element for refurbishing of MEE/MES is that they are constructed and manufactured to an
125 environmental conscious design that enables REFURBISHMENT. IEC 60601-1-9 or IEC 62430 can
126 be substantial contributors to this goal.
127 REFURBISHERS of used MEE/MES should be certified under a quality management system such
128 as ISO 13485:2016 or equivalent for R
