EN 60601-2 Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 2: Special Requirements for Basic Safety and Basic Performance of Electron Accelerators in the 1 MeV to 50 MeV Range

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 60601-2 standard. This part of the EN 60601 standard applies to the basic safety and basic performance of electron accelerators in the range of 1 MeV to 50 MeV used for the treatment of patients, hereinafter referred to as ME equipment.

EN 60601-2 Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 2: Special Requirements for Basic Safety and Basic Performance of Electron Accelerators in the 1 MeV to 50 MeV Range

Electron accelerators used in the treatment of patients are always ME devices, but there are times when they are referred to in this document as external barn equipment (EBE). The use of EBE does not remove the requirements placed on ME equipment, but is to clarify that the ME equipment discussed is the EBE and not some other ME equipment that may be part of the system configuration.

Including type testing and ground testing, this particular standard applies to the manufacture and certain aspects of installation and equipment involved in electron accelerators used to increase the precision, accuracy and volumetric targeting of treatment delivery intended for radiotherapy in medical practice.

It transmits a radiation beam of X-radiation or electron radiation in the range of 1 MeV to 50 MeV with rated energy under normal conditions and in normal use, including systems where the selection and display of treatment parameters can be automatically controlled by programmable electronic subsystems (PESS).
