Annotation of standard text IEC 61267-ed.3.0-CMV :

IEC 61267:2026 CMV contains both the official standard and its commented version. The commented version provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between IEC 61267:2025 edition 3.0 and the previous IEC 61267:2005 edition 2.0. Furthermore, comments from IEC SC 62C experts are provided to explain the reasons of the most relevant changes, or to clarify any part of the content. IEC 61267:2025 applies to test procedures which, for the determination of characteristics of systems or components of medical diagnostic X-ray equipment, require well-defined X-ray radiation conditions. This document deals with methods for generating X-ray radiation conditions which can be used under test conditions typically found in test laboratories or in manufacturing facilities for the determination of characteristics of medical diagnostic X-ray equipment. IEC 61267:2025 cancels and replaces the second edition published 2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) removing former Annex C “Measurement of the practical peak voltage”; b) inserting informative “Tabulated values for the squared signal-to-noise ratio per air kerma (SNR2in)” and normative “Additional X-ray radiation conditions as used in mammography and determination of the corresponding nominal aluminium half-value layers”; c) revision of X-ray radiation conditions; d) new method for verification of X-ray radiation conditions; e) change of term definitions.
