2 Addition of normative Annex ZB "Special national conditions"
Add the following Annex ZB:

Annex ZB
(normative)
Special national conditions
Special national conditions: National characteristic or practice that cannot be changed even over a
long period, e. g. climatic conditions, electrical earthing conditions.

For the countries in which the relevant special national conditions apply these provisions are
normative, for other countries they are informative.
Clause Special national condition
710.1 Austria
In Austria, national requirements apply to medical locations outside hospitals for
example:

– for dedicated locations in homes for senior citizens and aged care, where the
patients are subjected to medical care;
– rooms in existing installations where a change of utilization for medical
applications occur.
710.3.7 United Kingdom

710.3.8 United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, this definition for ‘group 1 medical location’ reads as
follows:
medical location where ME equipment or ME systems are intended to be applied
for treatment or diagnosis of a patient and where discontinuity of the electrical
supply does not represent a risk to the safety of the patient
Note 1 to entry: Generally, ME equipment and ME systems are applied externally,
intrusively or invasively.
Note 2 to entry: Discontinuity of the electrical supply may be as an interruption of
the electrical service, or by the application of protective measures against electric
shock.
Clause Special national condition

In Sweden, this is rephrased:
group 1
medical location where ME equipment or ME systems are intended to be used
externally or invasively on any part of the patient and where discontinuity of the
electrical supply does not represent a risk to the safety of the patient
Note 1 to entry: In group 1 locations can for example automatic disconnection of
supply be applied in case of a first fault.
710.3.8 The Netherlands
In the Netherlands, intracardiac treatments are not allowed in group 1 locations.

is applicable
710.3.9 United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, this definition for ‘group 2 medical location’ reads as
follows:
medical location where ME equipment or ME systems are intended to be applied
for treatment or diagnosis of a patient and where discontinuity of the electrical
supply represents a risk to the safety of the patient
Note 1 to entry: Generally, ME equipment and ME systems are applied externally,
intrusively or invasively.
Note 2 to entry: Discontinuity of the electrical supply may be as an interruption of
the electrical service, or by the application of protective measures against electric
shock.
Note 3 to entry: Risk to patient safety includes where the ME Equipment or ME
Systems provide patient life-support functions.
Clause Special national condition
710.3.9 Ireland
In Ireland, this definition for ‘group 2' reads as follows:
medical location where ME equipment or ME systems are intended to be used
and where discontinuity of the electrical supply represents a risk to the safety of
the patient
Note 1 to entry: Generally, ME equipment and ME systems can be applied
externally, intrusively or invasively.
Note 2 to entry: Discontinuity of the electrical supply may occur due to an
interruption of the electrical service, or by the application of protective measures
against electric shock.
Note 3 to entry: Risks to patient safety include where the ME Equipment or ME
Systems provide life-support functions.
710.3.9 The Netherlands
In the Netherlands, this subclause reads as follows:
group 2
medical location intended for the use of applied parts for the following
applications:
- Actions reaching into or nearby the heart, including the major heart vessels, or
- Vital actions or operations where a discontinuity of the electrical supply
represents a risk to the safety of the patient.
710.30 The Netherlands
In the Netherlands, the allocation of group numbers and classification of safety
services to a medical location
