Resumen (inglés):
Specifies requirements and tests for electromagnetic compatibility of equipment and systems and serves as the basis of electromagnetic compatibility requirements and tests in Particular Standards (60601-2-series). The existence of electromagnetic emission standards is essential for the protection of: - safety services; - other equipment and systems; - non-medical electrical equipment (e.g. computers); - telecommunications (e.g. radio/TV, telephone, radio-navigation). The existence of electromagnetic immunity requirements is essential to assure safety of equipment and systems. The immunity test levels specified in this standard (IEC 60601 test levels) represent the range found in the general medical use environment.
