FOREWORD
This amendment has been prepared by subcommittee 62A: Common aspects of electrical
equipment used in medical practice, of IEC technical committee 62: Electrical equipment in
medical practice.
The text of this amendment is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
62A/1390/FDIS 62A/1405/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this amendment can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
The committee has decided that the contents of this amendment and the base publication will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
NOTE The attention of users of this document is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC or
ISO publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for
conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be
adopted for mandatory implementation nationally not earlier than 3 years from the date of publication.

IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding

INTRODUCTION TO AMENDMENT 1
The fourth edition of IEC 60601-1-2 was published in 2014. Since the publication of
IEC 60601-1-2:2014, the IEC Subcommittee (SC) 62A Secretariat has been collecting issues
from a variety of sources including comments from National Committees. At the November 2015
meeting of IEC/SC 62A in Kobe, Japan, the subcommittee initiated a process to identify high-
priority issues that need to be considered in an amendment and should not wait until the fifth
edition of IEC 60601-1-2, which is presently targeted for publication sometime after 2024.
Those issues selected for inclusion on the final "short list" to be addressed in Amendment 1
were those approved by a 2/3 majority of the National Committees present and voting at the
Frankfurt meeting of SC 62A. At the meeting held on 10 October 2016, 15 items were presented
to the National Committees present. All 15 items received the required 2/3 majority of the
National Committees present and voting and have been included in the "short list" for
consideration in preparing Amendment 1. All remaining issues have been placed on a "long list"
for consideration in the fifth edition of IEC 60601-1-2.
The "short list" of issues was documented in the design specification for Amendment 1. MT 23
was directed to consider each issue described in Clause 6 of the design specification and
develop an appropriate solution for the identified problem. That final solution in this amendment
can encompass any technical solution proposed by the author of the issue or it can involve a
different solution developed by the expert group. The expert group can also have recommended
that no change to the standard was justified by the problem statement.
Because this is an amendment to IEC 60601-1-2:2014, the style in force at the time of
publication of IEC 60601-1-2 has been applied to this amendment. The style specified in
ISO/IEC Directives Part 2:2018 has only been applied when implementing the new style
guidance would not result in additional editorial changes.
Users of this document should note that when constructing the dated references to specific
elements in a standard, such as definitions, amendments are only referenced if they modified
the text being cited. For example, if a reference is made to a definition that has not been
modified by an amendment, then the reference to the amendment is not included in the dated
reference.

If necessary to achieve the IMMUNITY TEST LEVEL, the distance between the transmitting antenna and the
ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM may be reduced to 1 m. The 1 m test distance is permitted by IEC 61000-4-3.
a)
For some services, only the uplink frequencies are included.
b)
The carrier shall be modulated using a 50 % duty cycle square wave signal.
c)
As an alternative to FM modulation, the carrier may be pulse modulated using a 50 % duty cycle square wave
signal at 18 Hz. While it does not represent actual modulation, it would be worst case.

Add, after the existing Subclause 8.10, the following new subclause:
8.11 * IMMUNITY to proximity magnetic fields in the frequency range 9 kHz to 13,56 MHz
IMMUNITY to proximity magnetic fields in the frequency range 9 kHz to 13,56 MHz shall be
evaluated according to steps a) through d) below. MANUFACTURERS may proceed directly to
step d). The result of the evaluation for each applicable step shall be documented in the test
report or RISK MANAGEMENT FILE, as applicable. See also Figure A.3.
While communication might not be possible when ME EQUIPMENT that includes radio equipment
is tested in its passband, the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM shall still be able to provide its BASIC
SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE.
a) ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS that do not contain magnetically sensitive components or
circuitry within the ENCLOSURE or as part of an attached ACCESSORY need not be evaluated
further for IMMUNITY to proximity magnetic fields in the frequency range 9 kHz to 13,56 MHz;
otherwise,

b) ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS containing magnetically sensitive components or circuitry
where a separation distance of those components or circuitry of at least 0,15 m from the
field sources specified in Table 11 is ensured by the ENCLOSURE or by the physical design
of an attached ACCESSORY during INTENDED USE need not be evaluated further for IMMUNITY
to proximity magnetic fields in the frequency range 9 kHz to 13,56 MHz; otherwise,
c) Perform a RISK ANALYSIS regarding exposure of the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM to the
frequencies, field strengths, and modulations specified in Table 11 at separation distances
less than 0,15 m. If the RISK of exposure (during INTENDED USE) to the frequencies, field
strengths, and modulations specified in Table 11 is acceptable, then the tests of Table 11
need not be performed; otherwise,
d) ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS containing magnetically sensitive components or circuitry
not meeting the separation distance criteria in b) or the RISK acceptability criteria in c) shall
be tested for IMMUNITY to magnetic fields as specified in Table 11 using the test methods
specified in IEC 61000-4-39. The magnetic field shall be applied only to those surfaces of
the ENCLOSURE or attached ACCESSORIES that are accessible during INTENDED USE. The test
windows to be used with IEC 61000-4-39 may be selected to illuminate only the area of the
magnetically sensitive components or circuitry. The location of application of the magnetic
field should be specified in the test plan and shall be documented in the test report.
