It is identical with IEC60601-2-8:1987 including IEC60601-2-8/A1:1997 (both of which have now been adopted by CENELEC). It supersedes BS5724-2.8:1987 which is withdrawn. Corrige

5、ndum No. 1 has been produced to correct errors introduced in interpreting the IEC amendment instructions. Subclauses 50.1.101 to 50.104.3 have been renumbered as Subclauses 29.103.1 to 29.108.3 and the term “X-RAY GENERATOR” has been replaced by “X-RAY EQUIPMENT”. The UK participation in its prepara
