Electrical Safety Testing

The main purpose of performing electrical safety testing for medical devices is to ensure patient safety. It is carried out to evaluate the potential risks of electrical shocks to customers when using their products. The electrical safety testing for medical devices is a comprehensive process that involves multiple tests and evaluations to ensure that the active device / electrically operated / devices operated with power is safe, effective, and compliant with IEC 60601 series of international standards. An IEC 60601 tested and approved device is considered good in protecting patients and healthcare professionals from potential risks and ensuring the quality and reliability of medical devices.

Electrical Safety Testing Standards

The IEC 6060 is a series of standards released by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for checking and qualifying the safety and performance of medical electrical devices for any type and device class. The IEC 60601 series is a widely recognized and adopted set of standards that provide guidelines for the design, testing, and operation of medical devices to ensure their safety and effectiveness.

The IEC 60601 series is divided into several parts, each covering different aspects of medical electrical equipment:
