IEC 60601-2-64:2025 RLV contains both the official IEC International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is available in English only and provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between the official IEC Standard and its previous edition.
IEC 60601-2-64:2025 applies to the BASIC SAFETY and essential performance of LIGHT ION BEAM ME EQUIPMENT, hereafter referred to as ME EQUIPMENT, used for treatment of patients. If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME EQUIPMENT only, or to ME SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to ME EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant.
This document, with the inclusion of TYPE TESTS and SITE TESTS, applies respectively to the manufacturer and specified installation aspects of LIGHT ION BEAM ME EQUIPMENT
– intended for RADIOTHERAPY in human medical practice, including those in which the selection and DISPLAY of operating parameters can be controlled automatically by PROGRAMMABLE ELECTRONIC SUBSYSTEMS (PESS),
– that, in NORMAL USE, deliver a RADIATION BEAM of LIGHT IONS having ENERGY PER NUCLEON in the range 10 MeV/n to 500 MeV/n,
and
– intended to be
• for NORMAL USE, operated under the authority of appropriately licensed or QUALIFIED PERSONS by OPERATORS having the required skills for a particular medical application, for particular SPECIFIED clinical purposes maintained in accordance with the recommendations given in the INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE,
• subject to regular quality assurance performance and calibration checks by a QUALIFIED PERSON.
IEC 60601-2-64:2025 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) harmonization with IEC 60601-1:2005, IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2011 and IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD2:2020;
b) harmonization with IEC 62667:2017 for defined terms and definitions;
c) address revision to neutrons outside the field of irradiation.
