IEC 60601-2-29-ed.3.0

Annotation of standard text IEC 60601-2-29-ed.3.0 :

IEC 60601-2-29:2008 establishes requirements to be complied with by manufacturers in the design and construction of radiotherapy simulators; it does not attempt to define their optimum performance requirements. Its purpose is to identify those features of design that are regarded, at the present time, as essential for the safe operation of such medical electrical equipment. It places limits on the degradation of medical electrical equipment performance beyond which it can be presumed that a fault condition exists, for example a component failure, and where an interlock then operates to prevent continued operation of the medical electrical equipment. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1999. This edition constitutes a technical revision, which brings this standard in line with the third edition of IEC 60601-1 and its collateral standards. La CEI 60601-2-29:2008 decrit les exigences auxquelles les fabricants doivent se conformer lors de la conception et de la construction des simulateurs de radiotherapie; elle ne vise pas a definir des exigences de performances optimales. Son objet est didentifier les caracteristiques de conception reconnues actuellement comme essentielles pour la securite de fonctionnement de tels appareils electromedicaux. Elle fixe des limites de deterioration des performances des appareils electromedicaux qui seraient la consequence dune condition de defaut, telle que la defaillance dun composant, pour lesquelles un verrouillage doit entrer en action pour empecher lappareil electromedical de continuer a fonctionner. Cette troisieme edition annule et remplace la deuxieme edition parue en 1999, dont elle constitue une revision technique, qui represente un alignement de cette norme avec la troisieme edition de la CEI 60601-1 et ses normes collaterales.
