This committee has published 66 standards.
IEC/SC 62C develops ISO standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: The preparation of standards for the safety and performance of medical equipment and systems using ionising radiation for the treatment of disease; associated equipment and software used in planning, delivering and monitoring such treatments; instruments measuring ionising radiation used in the diagnosis and treatment of disease as well as radiation conditions for testing them; and nuclear medicine equipment used for imaging the distribution of radioactive substances within the human body for both diagnostic purposes and radionuclide therapies. Currently, there are 66 published standards from this subcommittee.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
