amend-
ment:2006
+ amend-
ment:2007 +
A1:2012
Maximum weight (specifi ed in kilograms ), which may be placed
on the product or accessory. The value includes the weight of any
attached accessories. Therefore, to determine the weight load
actually permitted, the weight of any attached accessories must
be subtracted from the safe working load.
The standard stipulates that manufacturers state this information.
Expected service life
IEC 60601-
1:2005 +
amend-
ment:2006
+ amend-
ment:2007 +
A1:2012
For how long (at minimum) the manufacturer believes the product
can be safely used after delivery and in compliance with the
prescribed maintenance intervals.
The standard stipulates that manufacturers state this information.
Intended use
IEC 60601-

ment:2007 +
A1:2012
Use for which the product is intended according to the specifi ca-
tions, instructions and information provided by the manufacturer.
The standard stipulates that manufacturers state this information.
Intended purpose
EU Directive
2006/42/EC
(Machinery
Directive),
EN 12100:2010
Use of a machine in compliance with the information provided in
the user information.
Using this product in a way that does not comply with the
intended purpose will lead to exclusion of liability.
Applied part
IEC 60601-
1:2005 +
amend-
ment:2006
+ amend-
ment:2007 +
A1:2012
Part of an electrical medical device that necessarily comes into
physical contact with the patient when used in keeping with the
intended purpose. The operator of the product must measure the
patient leakage current at applied parts. There are three diff erent
types of applied part: B (Body), BF (Body Float) and CF (Cardiac
Float).
Patient leakage current
IEC 60601-
1:2005 +
amend-
ment:2006
+ amend-
ment:2007 +
A1:2012, Table 3
Maximum permitted current allowed to fl ow through or along the
patient which is not necessary for functioning. If the value stipu-
lated in the standard is exceeded, the operator of the device must
earth the product, e.g. using a potential equalisation.
Degree of protection
(IP code)
IEC 60529:1989
+ A1:1999 +
A2:2013
Classifi cation of electrical equipment based on the casing protec-
tion against contact and the penetration of foreign bodies and
water. This is indicated by the letters “IP” and two numbers and
possibly another letter.
Protection class
IEC 61140:2001
Classifi cation of electrical devices based on the measures taken
to protect against electric shock. This is indicated in Roman
numerals.
Protection class (AP)
IEC 60601-
1:2005 +
amend-
ment:2006
+ amend-
ment:2007 +
A1:2012, Annex
G
Classifi cation of medical devices based on their protection
against the ignition of fl ammable anaesthetic mixtures. The
protection classes are AP and APG.
Nominal duty type
IEC 60034-
1:2017
Describes the strain on an electrical machine, such as during
“continuous duty”.
