Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide fed-
eration of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
I and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are cir-
culated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard IS0 10651-3 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 121, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment, Subcommittee SC 3,
Lung ventilators and related equipment.
IS0 10651 consists of the following parts, under the general title Lung
ventilators for medical use:
Part ? : Particular requirements for critical care ventilators
Part 2: Particular requirements for home care ventilators
- Part 3: Particular requirements for emergent y and transport
ventilators

Introduction
This part of IS0 10651 specifies requirements for portable lung ventilators
designed for use in emergency situations and transport. These devices
must meet the definition of a lung ventilator (to automatically augment or
provide ventilation of the patient’s lungs), but will frequently be used
outside the hospital or home by persons with different levels of training.
A rationale for the most important requirements is given in annex M.

Lung ventilators for medical use -
Part 3:
Particular requirements for emergency and transport ventilators
Section 1: General
1.1 Scope
NOTE - See the rationale in annex M.
This part of IS0 10651 is one of a series of International Standards based on IEC 601-l :I988 (the “General Standard”);
this type of International Standard is referred to as a “Particular Standard”. As stated in 1.3 of IEC 601-1:1988, the
requirements of this part of IS0 10651 take precedence over those of IEC 601-I :1988. Where this part of IS0 10651
specifies that a clause of IEC 601-I applies, it means that the clause applies only if the requirement is relevant to the
ventilator under consideration.
This part of IS0 10651 has common requirements with IEC 601-2-12. It also includes requirements from
IS0 10651-I :I 993.
The scope and object given in clause 1 of IEC 601-I :I 988 apply, except that 1 .I shall be replaced by the following:
This part of IS0 10651 specifies requirements for portable lung ventilators designed for use in emergency situations
and transport. Emergency and transport ventilators, called hereafter “ventilator”, are often installed in ambulances or
other types of rescue vehicles, but are often used outside this environment, where they have to be carried by the
operator or other persons. These devices will frequently be used outside the hospital or home by personnel with
different levels of training. This part of IS0 10651 is also applicable to devices permanently mounted in ambulances
or aircraft.
This part of IS0 10651 does not cover operator-powered ventilators (i.e. manual resuscitators).
1.2 Normative references
The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part
of IS0 10651. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and
parties to agreements based on this part of IS0 10651 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the
most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain registers of currently
valid International Standards.
