Hi Pat, As a member of TC 62 WG13 I like to answer your question. >From the second edition of the draft IEC 601-1-2 we received more than 100 pages comments and objections. Meanwhile, during three meeting, all of this was discussed and will be included in the new version, which will be discussed end of August this year. Based on this amount of comments and objections, there will be a second draft published before end of this year (hopefully October!). This means a delay of at least one year of the previous schedule.
As you can imagine the draft has changed quite a lot. A few things are crossed out (e.g. clinical utility, high frequency surgical equipment,...) and some new points are implemented (e.g. comliance criteria,..). From the technical points of view, the frequency range of radiated immunity is not decided yet, based on the missing basic standard. This could be 80MHz-2GHz or 3GHz. The most chance I would give to 3GHz to cover also the "microwave-oven" frequency. But again, the final discussion will be end of August. If you have more questions, feel free to answer.
