Dear all,
does anybody know which safety standard should apply to a colposcope?
thanks

I want to share with you a potential pitfall in conducted emission testing of
IT equipment using an ISN (or alternative) on an Ethernet connection.
The pitfall will have to lead to adjustment of the test requirements for
IT equipment in this set-up, and/or to a change in requirements for

It's a medical device that contacts the patient. So IEC/EN
60601 applies. If you want to know which Section, look on the

Dear Paolo,
apparently there is no particular standard for a colposcope, so the general
standard is use for safety, EN 60601-1 or IEC 60601-1.

Ron,
I suppose the questions from my post you understood as my assertions. I've
just asked based on what I should assume it is no 'apparatus'.
My product is in my opinion finished (no more assembly by producer or user
is planned) and will be marketed commercially.

Hello Group,
I have a question regarding the Electric Strength test in 60950-1 section 5.2.
It says in that section that you have a failure or the insulation broke down
when the current which flows as a result of the application of the test
voltage rapidly increases in an uncontrolled manner.
Hello Rob,
There is no current limit specified, and there is no way a limit could be
specified. Take a look at IEC 60950-1 section 5.1.7. You will see that there
are types of equipment where the touch current is allowed to exceed 3.5 mA.
This is typically equipment that is field wired or at
No specific limit for the di-electric withstand test. There is no
mention of the term short in the di-electric withstand type
test for I.T.
According to CSA engineering guidelines and some UL (Section
General) files, each individual model should have a
pre-determined limit.

Hi,
I need to run EMC tests on a piece of high-power medical equipment that is
used on an intermittent basis. The run time is about 15 seconds to 2 minutes
on-time, followed by about 10 minutes off-time. This is comparable to typical
system usage. This causes problems with EMC testing, since

Hi Folks
From experience, I agree with what Ted says - especially w.r.t. his last
paragraph about setting a LOWER limit.
Failure to exceed the lower limit could also indicate a faulty EMI filter with
capacitors of lower values than specification - thus meaning you may have an
emissions issue
Maybe I should have said:
... since you normally need more than 2 minutes to complete an EMC test.
I was thinking about radiated emissions testing, where the spectrum is
manually scanned, or line surge testing, requiring dozens of pulses applied at
low repetition rates. RF immunity testing
