For those of you who use the IEC 60601-1, “Medical electrical equipment – Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance,” there’s a newly issued correction sheet for the consolidated Edition 3.1 and it’s available now from Document Center Inc. FYI: The Edition 3.1 is an interfiled printing of the 3rd Edition with Amendment 1. The standard is the overview document for the IEC 60601 series on Medical Electrical Equipment.
The Corrigendum 1 is a 2 page correction for Section 7.9.3. It involves changes for 3 symbols, all found in Table D.2 on Safety signs. The Corrigendum includes both the original symbols and titles and the replacement symbols and titles for the 3 rows involved.
You’ll want to have this Corrigendum if you’re using the Edition 3.0 and Amendment 1 separately or using the consolidated Edition 3.1. The changes involved are pertinent for both formats.
