    Leonard -- Could you tell us more about the group and their activities? I didn't know there was such a group.

    Hi Dan,

    First, IECEE has many committees just like IEC and ISO also have.  Just in a different configuration as different emphasis (testing vs standards).  The high level committee structure of the whole IECEE can be seen at https://www.iecee.org/committees/overview/.  The ETF-3 is an Expert Task Force (ETF) under the CTL which is the Committee of Testing Laboratories.  If you go to this link https://www.iecee.org/dyn/www/f?p=106:43:0::::FSP_ORG_ID:CTL and click on the "Expert Task Forces & Working groups" tab & click on the CTL ETF 03 which is the ETF for the Medical (IEC 60601 based) & Measuring (IEC 61010 based).  You will not find any specific details for the Risk Management Task Group on the site as this group has only recently been reconstituted. The Risk Management Task Group is a combination of primarily test labs, manufacturers that have test labs, CB head office personnel, & a few other experts.  We work for consistency in how the Risk Management requirements for the 60601 series of standards are applied for this series of standards as required for the CB scheme requirements for the test labs.  So, the Operating Documents, OD's at https://www.iecee.org/documents/refdocs/refdocs_entry.htm are where some of the decisions are located (you will find the IOPD's for all the CTL ETF's) and also in the Decisions & go to the link https://www.iecee.org/dyn/www/f?p=106:43:0::::FSP_ORG_ID:CTL and click on the "Decisions" tab.  Note, you will see a list of all the decisions for all the CTL ETF's not just the ETF3.

    Hope this gives you some idea of the Risk Management Task Group.
