26、neral requirements for safety, as amended by its amendment1 (1991) and amendment2 (1995), hereinafter referred to as the General Standard (see1.3). The requirements are followed by specifications for the relevant tests. Following the decision taken by subcommittee62D at the meeting in Washington in1

27、979, a “General guidance and rationale” section giving some explanatory notes, where appropriate, about the more important requirements is included in Annex AA. Clauses or subclauses for which there are explanatory notes in Annex AA are marked with an asterisk (*). It is considered that a knowledge

28、of the reasons for these requirements will not only facilitate the proper application of the Standard but will, in due course, expedite any revision necessitated by changes in clinical practice or as a result of developments in technology. However, this annex does not form part of the requirements o

29、f this Standard. Section 1. General The clauses and subclauses of this section of the General Standard apply except as follows: 1 Scope and object This clause of the General Standard applies except as follows: 1.1 Scope Addition: This Particular Standard applies to ELECTROMYOGRAPHS as defined in2.1.

30、101 and EVOKED RESPONSE EQUIPMENT as defined in2.1.102, hereinafter referred to as EQUIPMENT. 1.2 Object Replacement: The object of this Particular Standard is to establish particular requirements for the safety of ELECTROMYOGRAPHS and EVOKED RESPONSE EQUIPMENT as defined in2.1.101 and2.1.102, respe

31、ctively. 1.3 Particular Standards Addition: This Particular Standard refers to IEC60601-1 (1988): Medical electrical equipment Part1:General requirements for safety as amendedby its amendment1 (1991) and amendment2 (1995). For brevity, IEC60601-1 is referred to in this Particular Standard either as

32、the “General Standard” or as the “General Requirement(s)”. The numbering of sections, clauses and subclauses of this Particular Standard corresponds to that of the General Standard. The changes to the text of the General Standard are specified by the use of the following words: “Replacement” means t

33、hat the clause or subclause of the General Standard is replaced completely by the text of this Particular Standard. “Addition” means that the text of the Particular Standard is additional to the requirements of the General Standard. “Amendment” means that the clause or subclause of the General Stand

34、ard is amended as indicated by the text of this Particular Standard. Subclauses or figures which are additional to those of the General Standard are numbered starting from101, additional annexes are lettered AA, BB,etc., and additional items aa), bb), etc. The term “this Standard” is used to make re

35、ferences to the General Standard and this Particular Standard taken together. Where there is no corresponding section, clause or subclause in this Particular Standard, the section, clause or subclause of the General Standard, although possibly not relevant, applies without modification; where it is

36、intended that any part of the General Standard, although possibly relevant, is not to be applied, a statement to that effect is given in this Particular Standard. The requirements of this Particular Standard take priority over those of the General Standard. 1.5 Collateral Standards Addition: Collate
