Briefly difference IEC 60601 series standards(Adapter)
There are many medical devices for electronic products, and medical electronic equipment in addition to pay attention to basic biocompatibility, chemical, human error, labeling and other risks beyond doubt, the most important thing is to touch leakage, excessive energy output, not external electromagnetic interference, such as electrical energy safety, electromagnetic compatibility must also be fully integrated into risk management. The current global medical electronic equipment generally accepted basic safety requirements for the IEC 60601 series of standards. IEC 60601-1 which covers all general regulations, including environmental, mechanical, excessive radiation ... and other hazards described and included in risk tolerance assessment. IEC 60601-1-X series is part of a parallel standard IEC 60601-1, especially for GM to illustrate the nature of electromagnetic compatibility, usability (usability), radiation protection, etc., but must be used simultaneously with the IEC 60601-1. The IEC 60601-2-XX series is for a specific medical equipment, in addition to applicable IEC 60601-1, but also applies to IEC 60601-1-X standard, the relationship between series as shown below:



For example, the production of high-frequency electric surgical knife manufacturers in addition to IEC 60601-2-2 standards apply, but also applies to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-X series of standards. Up to 100 years in June, China's Department of Health acknowledgment of IEC 60601 series of standards has reached more than 60 items (see acknowledgment of standard medical equipment database: http: //mdlicense.itri.org.tw/MD2010/MDRecognized.aspx) , while the European Union EN 60601-1 or our CNS 14509 are also in accordance with IEC 60601-1 as Yanni's harmonized standards. The following table lists the common standard IEC 60601-1-X for reference:
