TÜV Rheinland North America will be offering information about a new version of IEC 60601-1-2 being developed for the EMC compliance of medical devices during the IEEE EMC Symposium 2013.
According to the company, the updated version of IEC 60601-1-2 will introduce new product categories, more stringent test levels and several new concepts, including immunity test for RF proximity, wireless communication equipment and EMC risk assessment. When the new version is accepted, almost all devices within its scope will need to be re-tested partially or in full, depending on the product’s category and safety and performance criteria.
Ozgur Ozturk, senior business manager of EMC and telecommunication services and Bruce Fagley, technical manager of EMC at TÜV Rheinland North America will be at booth No. 301 during the symposium to discuss what medical device manufacturers need to consider to be prepared for the new requirements.
