Challenges in Testing by Shari Richardson Automating the Tests in Y es, it is possible to simplify testing to IEC 60601-1! The IEC 60601-1 standard, Medical Electrical Equipment, is the cornerstone document addressing many of the risks associated with electrical medical equipment. The standard is mainly intended for product development, where safety considerations must be taken into account early in the design phase of a product. However, it is also applied to production line testing since it is the only way for manufacturers to be sure they are shipping a safe product. 2 Conformity february 2008 IEC 60601-1 © Photographer: Andrei Malov | Agency: Dreamstime.com http://Dreamstime.com Table of Contents for the Digital Edition of Conformity Magazine -
