IEC 60601-2-3 Consolidated version

IEC 60601-2-3:2012+A1:2016 specifies the requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of short-wave therapy equipment. Short-wave therapy equipment are defined as medical equipment for the therapeutic treatment of a patient by exposure to electric or magnetic fields produced in the frequency range of more than 13 MHz but not exceeding 45 MHz. Equipment having a rated output power not exceeding 10 W are exempted from certain requirements of this standard. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 60601-2-3 published in 1991 and its amendment 1 published in 1998. This edition constitutes a technical revision and has been aligned with IEC 60601-1:2005. This consolidated version consists of the third edition (2012) and its amendment 1 (2016). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication.
