Overview

The SIST EN IEC 60601-2-35:2021/A1:2024 standard specifies the particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of medical electrical heating devices. These devices include blankets, pads, and mattresses designed specifically for heating applications in medical settings. This amendment, published by the CLC and endorsed by CENELEC in January 2024, updates the original 2021 version to ensure compliance with the latest safety, performance, and testing protocols conforming to the broader IEC 60601-1 series.

This standard plays a critical role in harmonizing safety practices for electrically powered medical heating equipment, aiming to protect patients and healthcare professionals from electrical risks, overheating, and product malfunction. It supports manufacturers and testing bodies in meeting rigorous safety benchmarks and regulatory requirements for medical electrical devices.

Key Topics

  • Scope of Application
    Targets heating devices using blankets, pads, or mattresses intended for medical patient heating purposes.

  • Safety and Performance Requirements
    Includes detailed specifications on temperature controls, overload protection, and device reliability under normal and fault conditions.

  • Control Device Specifications
    Forced air devices must have clearly legible temperature markings in degrees Celsius for each heated position, enhancing operational safety.

  • Mechanical Integrity
    Requirements for the prevention of rucking (wrinkling or folding) in blankets ensure proper heat distribution and patient comfort. Methods to secure under-blankets without damaging the device are defined.

  • Fluid Circulation Systems
    Tests for blockage of fluid circulation systems mandate temperature measurements and steady-state heat conditions to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation.

  • Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
    Compliance with IEC 60601-1-2:2014 and its amendments for electromagnetic disturbances is required to minimize interference with other medical devices.

  • Marking and Signage
    Clear safety markings such as ISO 7010-M002 for hose connectors are mandated to avoid misuse and potential hazards.

Applications

  • Medical Patient Heating
    The standard applies to medical devices used for thermal therapy, patient warming during surgery, and prevention of hypothermia in clinical environments.

  • Hospital Equipment
    Heating blankets, pads, and mattresses designed according to this standard are used widely in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and specialized care units.

  • Home Healthcare Devices
    Devices intended for medical heating purposes that may be used in domiciliary care settings can adopt this standard for safety assurance.

  • Device Design and Testing
    Manufacturers use the standard as a guideline for designing heating devices that meet international safety requirements, thereby aiding regulatory approval and market access in Europe and globally.

Related Standards

  • IEC 60601-1
    General requirements for basic safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment.

  • IEC 60601-1-2
    Requirements and tests for electromagnetic disturbances to ensure device compatibility in healthcare environments.

  • IEC 60601-1-8
    Standards focusing on alarm systems in medical electrical equipment, relevant for patient safety during heating treatments.

  • IEC 60601-1-10
    Addresses requirements for physiologic closed-loop controllers which may relate to advanced temperature controllers in heating devices.

AMENDMENT 1
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 recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, va
