34、ion for standardization comprisingall national electrotechnicalcommittees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promoteinternational co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. Tothis end and in addition to other activities, IEC publ
35、ishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,Technical Reports, and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subjectdealt with may participate in thispreparatory work. Inter
36、national, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC alsoparticipate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization(ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.2) The formal
37、 decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearlyas possible, an internationalconsensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from allinterested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for int
38、ernational use and are accepted by IEC NationalCommittees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IECPublications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which theyare used or for anymisinterpretation by any end user.4) In order
39、 to promote international uniformity, IEC NationalCommittees undertake to apply IEC Publicationstransparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergencebetween any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly
40、indicated inthe latter.5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for anyequipment declared to be in conformitywith an IEC Publication.6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.7) No liability shall attach t
41、o IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts andmembers of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage orother damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
42、expenses arising out of the publication, use of,or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IECPublications.8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications isindispensable for the correct application of this publication.9) Atten
43、tion is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject ofpatent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.International standard IEC 60601-2-18 has been prepared by IECsubcommittee 62D:Electromedical equipme
44、nt, of IECtechnical committee 62, Electrical equipment inmedical practice. This third edition cancels and replacesthe second edition,published in 1996, and itsAmendment 1 (2000). This edition constitutes a technical revision and has been aligned orharmonized with IEC 60601-1:2005.Themain changes wit
45、h respect tothe previous edition include:a) alignment ofrequirements withIEC 60601-1:2005;b) inclusion of essential performance requirements;c) the inclusion of energized endoscopes and energized endotherapy devices used through second and subsequent punctures within the scope ofthe standard;d) refe
46、rence to IEC 60601-2-2 forthe dielectricstrength testing of HF energized endotherapydevices, rather than defining different tests.BS EN 60601-2-18:201560601-2-18 IEC:2009 5 The text ofthis particular standard is based on the following documents:Enquiry draftReport on voting62D/682/CDV 62D/743/RVC Fu
