Frequently asked questions
Is IEC 60601 the same as IEC 62353?
No. IEC 60601 is used for medical electrical equipment safety and essential performance, while IEC 62353 is commonly used for recurrent testing and testing after repair.
Can hospitals request IEC 60601 related checks?
Yes. The exact test requirement should be reviewed against equipment type, available methods and the expected use of the report.
Does this replace manufacturer approval?
No. Testing does not replace manufacturer design approval, regulatory clearance or prescribed servicing.
