EN 60601-1-2 General Specifications for Electromagnetic compatibility, Basic Safety and Required Performance Supplementary Standard

EN 60601-1-2 standard is one of the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) product family standards. Electrical medical product manufacturers design and have their products tested according to the EN 60601-1-2 standard.

EN 60601-1-2 General Specifications for Electromagnetic compatibility, Basic Safety and Required Performance Supplementary Standard

EN 60601-1-2 standard covers general EMC requirements for basic safety and required performance for electrical medical devices and systems.

The purpose of the EN 60601-1-2 standard is to specify general specifications and tests for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electrical medical devices and systems.

Emission EMC Tests specified in EN 60601-1-2 standard;

  • Radiation Emission Test
  • Propagation Test by Transmission
  • Harmonics Test
  • Voltage Surges and Flicker Test

Immunity EMC Tests specified in EN 60601-1-2 standard;

  • Electrostatic Discharge Test
  • Radiant, RF, Electromagnetic Field Test
  • Electrical Rapid Transient Regime-Sudden Impact Test
  • Sudden Rises Test
  • Test for Transmitted Disturbances by RF Fields
  • Network Frequency Magnetic Distortion Test
  • Voltage Pits and Short Interrupts Test


Basic safety and required performance must be ensured for EMC Tests applied to electrical medical devices and systems. During or after the test; component failures, changes in programmable parameters, factory reset, change of operating mode, false alarms, noise or disturbance that may affect diagnosis, treatment and monitoring, etc. too many performance drops are not allowed.
