As such, you might want to validate the 3rd Edition requirement from your customer. Also, most regulatory-based immunity standards that I am familiar have ESD requirements of up to 4kV/8kV, while IEC 60601-1-2, 2nd Edition (latest that I have) has ESD requirements of up to 6kV/8kV. And, the much higher ESD threshold requirements as you've indicated generally originate from specific industry or customer requirements. So, those higher ESD thresholds are quite likely not regulatory requirements, but if anyone knows if the ESD requirements from IEC 60601-1-2, 3rd Edition, please let us know. You might want to verify these thresholds from your customer. IHTH.

They have a requirement for 15 and 30 kV air and contact discharge and they reference the 3rd edition standard. My current standard doesn't have levels that go that high. Normally I would look at 60601-2 medical electrical equipment ....EMC compatibility.... But it only requires 6 and 8kV. The standard is going through all the time consuming purchase request channels, until then can someone with the 3rd edition help me understand when the 15 and 30kV is required. The device itself is used in patient monitoring and could be used in an operating theater. We'll meet their requirements I'm just trying to figure out the paper trail that would lead them to that requirement, could be nothing more than a desired goal but I would like to understand it with your help Thanks Gary McInturff Reliability/Compliance Engineer Esterline Interface Technologies Featuring ADVANCED INPUT, MEMTRON, and LRE MEDICAL products 600 W.
