What is it?

IEC 60601-1-2 is a collateral standard to IEC 60601-1, which applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of Medical Electrical EQUIPMENT and Medical Electrical SYSTEMS in the presence of ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTURBANCES and to ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTURBANCES emitted by Medical Electrical EQUIPMENT and Medical Electrical SYSTEMS. It applies to all medical electrical devices!

Why does EMC matter?

July 29th, 1967 – USS Forrestal – 134 Killed, 161 Injured 21 aircraft destroyed, aircraft carrier damaged ($72 million; $509 million inflation adjusted) Surge caused Zuni missile to fire (but not detonate) Yes, there is a risk on aircraft…

60601-1-2 is modified by Particular Standards that apply to certain product types Check the scope of the particular standard to see if it applies Some contain modifications to the EMC requirements. Clause numbering varies from standard to standard. If a particular standard was written for a previous edition, it should still be considered when testing to newer editions, even though the clause numbering is different.

Risk Management

RISKS resulting from reasonably foreseeable ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTURBANCES shall be taken into account in the RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS.

  • Specific, detailed immunity pass/fail criteria based on part two

standards or risk management for basic safety and essential performance related to EMC

  • Determination of how the product will be monitored to

demonstrate compliance with the Immunity pass/fail criteria

  • Immunity pass/fail criteria may specify degradations that are

acceptable because they do not result in unacceptable risk

  • Justification for any special increased or reduced test levels

Risk Management Guidance: Annex F Test Plan Guidance: Annex G

Operating Modes

Emissions Testing

  • Modes that maximize emissions
  • Active and standby modes should be considered

Immunity Testing

Conclusions

4th edition compliance is not required yet, but will be by the end

  • f a 2-3 year development cycle

Retesting is necessary as many requirements have been increased Testing for 4th edition is not completely backwards compatible with 3rd edition It is important to consider EMC during the risk management process and to make sure that the EMC testing addresses basic safety and all identified risks
