30、l Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this en
31、d and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Comm
32、ittee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in ac
33、cordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
34、interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held res
35、ponsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end USER. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any diverge
36、nce between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any EQUIPMENT declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 6)
37、 All USERS should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damag
38、e or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publi
39、cation. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all su
40、ch patent rights. International Standard IEC 61223-3-2 has been prepared by subcommittee 62B: Diagnostic imaging equipment, of IEC technical committee 62: Electrical equipment in medical practice. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1996. It constitutes a technic
41、al revision. This second edition has been expanded by including tests of equipment properties depending on X-RAY IMAGE RECEPTORS, by putting emphasis on the aspect of image quality and dose and through harmonization, where possible, with other recognized standards. Annex L compares the specific cont
42、ent of the first and second editions. 61223-3-2 IEC:2007 5 The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS RVD 62B/651/FDIS 62B/659/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publica
43、tion has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. A list of all parts of the IEC 61223 series, published under the general title Evaluation and routine testing in medical imaging departments, can be found on the IEC website. In this standard, the following print types are used
44、 requirements, compliance with which can be tested, and definitions: roman type; explanations, advice, notes, general statements, exceptions and references: smaller type; TERMS DEFINED IN IEC 60788, IEC 60601-1 OR IN CLAUSE 3 OF THIS STANDARD: SMALL CAPITALS (see Index of defined terms). NOTE 1 Whe
45、re a defined term is used as a qualifier with another defined or undefined term, it is not printed in SMALL CAPITALS, unless the concept thus qualified is defined, or recognized as a derived term without a definition NOTE 2 Where the concept addressed is not strongly confined to the definition given
46、 in one of the publications listed above, a corresponding term is printed in lower case letters. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to
47、the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed; withdrawn; replaced by a revised edition, or amended. 6 61223-3-2 IEC:2007 INTRODUCTION This standard is part of a series of International Standards which give methods of acceptance testing and constancy testing for diagnos
