IEC 60601-1 4^th Edition

The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) works to harmonise global standards to improve the functionality and safety of electronic technology. Though the IEC 60601-1 standard has been in effect for some 40 years, the advancement of technology (such as smartphones and tablets) in environments housing medical equipment has made the operation of medical apparatus more complex.

The 4^th Edition seeks to address the emissions and immunity of electromagnetic disturbances, calling for more stringent risk assessments in particular by allowing consideration of operation environments, such as home healthcare applications.

Though the IEC standard is not compulsory, key territories are set to follow suit, with America and Europe introducing UL/EN 60601-1 4^th Edition in December 2018.
