Hi, I can help much, but, for this paragraph, the rationale at the back of the standard states that "Annex AAA of the Collateral Standard IEC 60601-1-2 states that the limits and methodology are under consideration by technical committee 77. This Particular Standard, however, refers for the time being to IEC 60521 in which 400 A/m is required."
For the Second Edition of IEC 60601-1-2, Clause 36.202.8.1, the limit is 3 A/m.

I'd like to check this requirement for its correctness or history with backgrounds for such a demand. I know that 3A/m, 10A/m and 30A/m are often used, but 400A/m ..... Can anybody help?
