Collateral standard precendence over IEC60601

  • 1.  Collateral standard precendence over IEC60601

    Posted 31-Mar-2021 03:12
    Dear RAPS Members,

    Do we have to test the requirements of clause 15.3 of IEC60601-1 if the collateral standard applicable for our device states compliance to 15.3  is not applicable? The collateral standard also states that it takes precedence over the corresponding requirements of IEC 60601-1 if IEC 60601-1 is applicable and differences exist.

    Also, under the CB scheme is it possible for the test labs to overrule the collateral standards?

    Looking forward to your valuable feedback.

    Regards,
