The impact of the revised electromagnetic compatibility standard

Med Device Technol. 2004 Oct;15(8):33-4, 36.

Abstract

Electromedical equipment must be tested to the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standard EN 60601-1-2 to carry the CE mark. The new version of EN 60601-1-2, which becomes mandatory from 1 November 2004, could affect the design of some products. This article summarises the new EMC requirements and provides design tips on how to meet them.
