The IEC 60601-1 is the International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC’s) general standard for medical electrical equipment. Due to advancing technology, and a constant stream of new medical products being developed and entering the medical marketplace, the IEC 60601 series of medical standards exists in an environment of ongoing and rapid change. 

This new amendment to the third edition, Amendment 2 (Amd 2) incorporates feedback that the IEC has received from various sources, including the participating National Committees, since the release of Amendment 1 in 2012.
