IEC 62570:2025(Main)

Standard practice for marking medical devices and other items for safety in the magnetic resonance environment

IEC 62570:2025 applies to medical devices and other items that are anticipated to enter the magnetic resonance (MR) environment.
This document specifies the marking of items anticipated to enter the MR environment by means of terms and icons, and recommends information that should be included in the labeling.
MR image artifacts are not in the scope of the mandatory portions of this practice because they do not present a direct safety issue resulting from specific characteristics of the MR examination.

IEC 61223-3-8:2024(Main)

Evaluation and routine testing in medical imaging departments - Part 3-8: Acceptance and constancy tests - Imaging performance of X-ray equipment for radiography and radioscopy

IEC 61223-3-8:2024 applies to evaluation of the imaging performance and related quality control parameters of X‑ray equipment for radiography and radioscopy that conform to IEC 60601-2-54:2022 or IEC 60601-2-43:2022.
This document applies to the evaluation of the imaging performance of the entire imaging chain from image acquisition, image processing and image display.
This document applies to acceptance tests and constancy tests, which are part of the quality assurance program in medical imaging departments and are intended to be performed by or under the responsibility of the responsible organization. A detailed discussion of the position of these tests within the medical radiological equipment lifecycle is provided in Clause A.2. The methods included rely mainly on non-invasive measurements that use appropriate test equipment and are performed after the installation is completed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
IEC 60601-2-54:2022 and IEC 60601-2-43:2022 require information to be provided to the responsible organization with respect to quality control. This document provides guidance to manufacturers regarding the acceptance and constancy tests for the X‑ray equipment in a manufacturer supplied quality control manual. Annex G provides guidance for such a manual.

Medical electrical equipment - Characteristics of digital X-ray imaging devices - Part 2-1: Determination of dual-energy subtraction efficiency - Detectors used for dual-energy radiographic imaging

IEC 62220-2-1:2023 describes the performance metrics associated with DUAL-ENERGY IMAGING capable DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES meant for medical applications and specifies the methods for their determination. These metrics can be used to analyse TISSUE-SUBTRACTED IMAGES and to evaluate dose performance, noise characteristics, and tissue-subtraction efficacy of DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES. The described methods indicate the procedures to obtain MULTI-SPECTRAL PRIMARY DATA and to compute their derived TISSUE-SUBTRACTED IMAGES.
The intended users of this document are MANUFACTURERS and well-equipped test laboratories. This document is restricted to DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES that are used for single or multiple exposure dual-energy radiographic imaging based on, for example, CR systems, direct and indirect flat panel-detector based systems.
This document excludes and is not applicable to:
– DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES intended to be used in mammography or in dental RADIOGRAPHY;
– slot scanning DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES;
– COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY or CONE-BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY;
– photon-energy discriminating devices such as photon counting X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES;
– devices for dynamic imaging (where series of images are acquired, as in fluoroscopy or cardiac imaging).
– DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES intended to be used with RADIOTHERAPY beams.

Its scope excludes, in particular:
- equipment for RADIOTHERAPY;
- equipment for COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY;
- ACCESSORIES intended to be introduced into the PATIENT;
- mammographic X RAY EQUIPMENT;
- dental X RAY EQUIPMENT.
INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT declared by the MANUFACTURER to be suitable for RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, which does not include a PATIENT SUPPORT as part of the system, is exempt from the PATIENT SUPPORT provisions of this document.
If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT only, or to ME SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so.

This edition includes editorial and technical changes to reflect the IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD2:2020 and IEC 60601-2-54:2022. It also contains corrections and technical improvements. Significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
a) a new specific term DOSIMETER is introduced to replace the general term DOSEMETER as in IEC 60601-2-54:2022;
b) several terms and definitions that are moved from IEC TR 60788:2004 to 201.3 of IEC 60601-2-54:2022 are also referenced from IEC 60601-2-54:2022.
c) the collateral standards IEC 60601-1-11:2015, IEC 60601-1-11:2015/AMD1:2020, IEC 60601-1-12:2014 and IEC 60601-1-12:2014/AMD1:2020 are applicable if MANUFACTURER so declares;
d) the former subclause 201.11.101 “Protection against excessive temperature of X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLIES” is removed since covered by IEC 60601-1:2005, IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012, IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD2:2020 and IEC 60601-2-28:2017, and the former subclause 201.11.102 is renumbered as 201.11.101, as in IEC 60601-2-54:2022;
e) to adopt changes in subclause 7.8.1 “Colours of indicator lights” in IEC 60601 1:2005/AMD2:2020, clarification of requirements is provided in 201.7.8.1 to avoid conflicts with requirements of indicator lights stipulated for X-RAY EQUIPMENT, as in IEC 60601-2-54:2022;

IEC 60806:2022(Main)

Determination of the maximum symmetrical radiation field of X-ray tube assemblies and X-ray source assemblies for medical diagnosis

IEC 60806:2022 is applicable to X-RAY SOURCE ASSEMBLIES and X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLIES.
This document specifies a method for the determination of the greatest geometrically symmetrical RADIATION FIELD at a specified distance from the FOCAL SPOT for which the percentage AIR KERMA RATE along the major axes of the RADIATION FIELD does not fall below a permitted value.
In case multiple FOCAL SPOTS are not super-imposed, each FOCAL SPOT has its own REFERENCE AXIS. Then the maximum RADIATION FIELD can be given for each FOCAL SPOT separately.
IEC 60806:2022 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1984. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical change with respect to the previous edition:
a) addition of solid state detectors as they have become more common since the first edition of 1984.
