A while ago I became interested in whether there was a EMC standard for these items, (my wife has an electric scooter.)
I found an ISO standard, 7176-21, 1st Edition, 2003-04-15, it appears to be an umbrella/collateral standard and incorporates many of the immunity tests required in IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electronics - EMC requirement and tests. dave garnier From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Woodgate Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2005 11:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Medical Device standards [email protected] wrote (in <C16858ED90BCC74686D26F1CFBFC00EA39A009@exchange>) about 'Medical Device standards', on Thu, 21 Jul 2005: >Does any one know what the status of EN 12184 is with respect to the >Medical Devices Directive. I don't know, but maybe wheelchairs etc. are no longer regarded as medical devices? Certainly, 8 MPH electric 'scooters' are unguided missiles, maybe even WMD in some hands. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
