Medical electrical equipment - Medical light ion beam equipment - Performance characteristics (IEC 62667:2017); German version EN IEC 62667:2018

The national committee NA 080-00-05 GA "Radiotherapy" of the DIN Standards Committee Radiology (NAR) in cooperation with the German Radiological Society and the DKE German Commission for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies in DIN and VDE in cooperation with the German Society for Nuclear Medicine e. V. is responsible for the present document. (DGN), the German Society for Medical Physics e. V. (DGMP) and the German Society for Radiooncology e. V. (DEGRO) are responsible. The International Standard was prepared in IEC/SC 62C "Facilities for radiotherapy, nuclear medicine and dosimetry". This standard specifies test methods and procedures for the disclosure of the performance characteristics of medical light ion irradiation facilities. They allow a direct comparison between the performance data of devices from different manufacturers. The standard applies to light ion radiation fields with an energy per nucleon in the range of 10 MeV/n to 500 MeV/n. As this standard does not contain any safety requirements, it has not been introduced into the IEC 60601 series of standards. It describes performance aspects of medical electrical equipment with light ion radiation and how it should be presented. It also includes test methods and conditions suitable for type testing.
