IEC 61557-16:2023 specifies the requirements applicable to the performance for test and measurement equipment in order to determine the effectiveness of the protective measures for electrical equipment and/or medical electrical equipment described in IEC 62353. This International Standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61557-1:2019. IEC 61557-16:2023 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) splitting of uncertainty requirements for medical and non-medical electrical equipment in 4.2.1; b) addition of a definition of ranges with defined uncertainty in 4.2.1 to 4.2.7; c) addition of an optional measuring device (MD) for non-medical devices in 4.2.1; d) addition of a limitation of the maximum intrinsic uncertainty for medical applications at leakage current in 4.2.1; e) change of 4.2.3 from test sockets to sockets for service purposes; f) addition of a warning in the operating instructions; g) integration of former 6.3 into 6.2; h) update of Table 1; i) alignment of the structure with that of the whole IEC 61557 series. LIEC 61557-16:2023 specifie les exigences de performance applicables pour les dispositifs de controle et de mesure afin de determiner le bon fonctionnement des mesures de protection des appareils electriques et/ou des appareils electromedicaux decrits dans l’IEC 62353. LIEC 61557-16:2023 annule et remplace la premiere edition parue en 2014. Cette edition constitue une revision technique. Cette edition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport a l’edition precedente: a) separation des exigences d’incertitude pour les appareils electromedicaux et electriques non medicaux en 4.2.1; b) ajout d’une definition de plages avec une incertitude definie de 4.2.1 a 4.2.7; c) ajout d’un dispositif de mesure (DM) facultatif pour les appareils non medicaux en 4.2.1; d) ajout d’une limitation de l’incertitude intrinseque maximale pour les applications medicales au niveau du courant de fuite en 4.2.1; e) changement en 4.2.3 de "prises de courant d’essai" en "prises de courant pour des besoins de service"; f) ajout d’un avertissement dans les instructions de fonctionnement; g) integration de l’ancien 6.3 en 6.2; h) mise a jour du Tableau 1; i) alignement de la structure sur celle de l’ensemble de la serie IEC 61557.
