|      What domestic and international product safety and EMC
requirements
|      would laboratory equipment used for diagnostic applications fall
|      under?
| ==============================================================
For domestic try UL3101-1 _Electrical Equipment for Laboratory Use; Part
1: General Requirements_.  The international version of this standard is
EN601010-1:1993. If you buy the UL version then you will not need to buy
the EN/IEC version since the UL version incorporates the text of the
EN/IEC standard.

Be advised that the old UL Laboratory Equipment standard, UL1262, is
being phased out and should only be applied to existing equipment. I
have been told that UL will not use the old 1262 standard for new
products or for substantial changes to existing products.

Be sure to read the scope carefully when applying it to your product.
Note that UL deviates from EN/IEC in regard to the scope of the
standard.

You will find the (3101/1010) standard much easier to meet than the
medical equipment standards.
