IEC 60601-2-2:2017 is also available as IEC 60601-2-2:2017 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 60601-2-2:2017 applies to the basic safety and essential performance of HF surgical equipment and HF surgical accessories.
HF surgical equipment having a rated output power not exceeding 50 W (for example for micro-coagulation, or for use in dentistry or ophthalmology) is exempt from certain of the requirements of this particular standard. These exemptions are indicated in the relevant requirements.
The object of this particular standard is to establish particular basic safety and essential performance requirements for HF surgical equipment and HF surgical accessories. This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- refinement and additions to the defined terms;
- additional separation of the requirements for HF surgical equipment and HF surgical accessories;
- a new requirement for adult neutral electrodes to be contact quality monitoring neutral electrodes;
- new requirements for devices that have or use a high current mode.

IEC TR 61289:2019 is available as IEC TR 61289:2019 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC TR 61289:2019 contains guidelines for medical and nursing personnel regarding the safe and effective operation of HIGH FREQUENCY SURGICAL EQUIPMENT and HIGH FREQUENCY SURGICAL ACCESSORIES (also referred to as HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT in this document). It is also of use to scientific/technical staff who have responsibility for the maintenance of this equipment. The application guidelines in this document deal with the safe operation of HIGH FREQUENCY SURGICAL EQUIPMENT constructed according to the safety requirements of IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-2. Not all existing HIGH FREQUENCY SURGICAL EQUIPMENT meets the minimum requirements of current international standards, however, the guidelines in this document is still helpful in utilizing these devices. IEC TR 61289:2019 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) general adaption to IEC 60601-2-2:2017;
b) refinement and additions to the defined terms;
c) separation of HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT and HF SURGICAL ACCESSORIES;
d) consideration of the HIGH CURRENT MODE;
e) update of symbols.

IEC 61175-1:2015 provides rules for the composition of designations for the identification of signals and signal connections. This includes the designation of power supply. This part of IEC 61175 is applicable to all types of signals within an industrial system, installation and equipment and industrial products. It deals with the information aspect of signals and not with their physical implementation. This first edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 61175 published in 2005 and constitutes a technical revision. It includes the following changes: an improved description of the principles for use and a strict separation between the physical aspect of a signal and its associated information, focusing on the latter.
It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108.

IEC/TR 61289:2011(E) is a technical report giving guidelines to personnel in charge of operating high frequency surgical equipment covered by IEC 60601-2-2. It intends enabling them to attain the best conditions of safety and efficiency for their patients and themselves. It will also be useful to scientific/technical staff having responsibility for the maintenance of this equipment. This report assumes that the electrical installation of high frequency surgical equipment meets national and local regulations for medically used rooms. However, the guidelines in this report will still be helpful in utilizing devices not meeting the minimum requirements of current international standards. IEC/TR 61289:2011 cancels and replaces IEC/TR 61289-1:1994 and IEC/TR 61289-2:1994. It constitutes a technical revision and a combination.

IEC 60601-2-2:2009 specifies particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of high frequency surgical equipment and high frequency surgical accessories. This particular standard amends and supplements IEC 60601-1 (third edition, 2005): Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2006. This edition constitutes a technical revision. Revisions in this edition include new language for preconditioning accessories prior to insulation testing, refining the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility testing and correcting some of the equations used in deriving the thermal test for neutral electrodes.
