Medical electrical equipment—Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance
1 Scope, object and related standards
1.1 *Scope
This part of GB 9706 specifies the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS.
This part applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT and MEDICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, hereafter referred to as ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS.
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.
HAZARDS inherent in the intended physiological function of ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEMS within the scope of this standard are not covered by specific requirements in this standard except in 7.2.13 and 8.4.1.
Note 1: See also 4.2.
The 9706 series does not apply to:
——in vitro diagnostic equipment that does not fall within the definition of ME EQUIPMENT, which is covered by the IEC 61010 series [69];
——implantable parts of active implantable medical devices covered by the ISO 14708 series [69]; or
——medical gas pipeline systems covered by ISO 7396-1 [68].
Note 2: ISO 7396-1 applies the requirement of IEC 60601-1-8 to certain monitoring and ALARM SIGNALS.
Note 3: the asterisk (*) as the first character of a title or the beginning of a paragraph or table title indicates that there are guidelines and principles related to the item in Annex A.
1.2 Object
The object of this standard is to specify general requirements and to serve as the basis for particular standards.
1.3 * Collateral standards
In the 9706 series, collateral standards specify general requirements for BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE applicable to:
——a group of ME EQUIPMENT (e.g. radiological equipment);
——a specific characteristic of all ME EQUIPMENT not fully addressed in this standard.
Applicable collateral standards become normative at the date of their publication and shall apply together with this standard.
Note 1: When evaluating compliance with this standard, it is permissible to independently assess compliance with the collateral standards.
Note 2: When declaring compliance with this standard, the declarer should specifically list the collateral standards that have been applied. This allows the reader of the declaration to understand which collateral standards were part of the evaluation.
If a collateral standard applies to ME EQUIPMENT for which a particular standard exists, then the particular standard takes priority over the collateral standard.
1.4 * Particular standards
In the 9706 series, particular standards may modify, replace or delete requirements contained in this standard as appropriate for the particular ME EQUIPMENT under consideration, and may add other BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE requirements.
A requirement of a particular standard takes priority over this standard.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 * Terms and definitions
For the purpose of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
Note 1: Where the terms “voltage” and “current” are used in this document, they mean the r.m.s. Values of an alternating, direct or composite voltage or current unless stated otherwise.
Note 2: The term “electrical equipment” is used to mean ME EQUIPMENT (see 3.63) or other electrical equipment. This standard also uses the term “equipment” to mean ME EQUIPMENT or other electrical or non-electrical equipment in the context of an ME SYSTEM (see 3.64).
Note 3: When the term "safety" is used in this document in boldface, it does not mean "safety" as defined in YY/T 0316-2016, but rather is used to mean "the state of being protected from or guarded against hurt or injury; freedom from danger”.
