This standard is developed according to the rules specified in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This standard replaces YY 0065-2007 Ophthalmic Instruments - Slit-lamp Microscopes, and the following technical changes have been made with respect to YY 0065-2007:
——Requirement for focus difference between the left and right observation systems is added (see criterion No.7 in Table 1);
——Requirement for optical radiation hazard is added (see 4.4);
——Requirement for minimum spot size is deleted (4.1.3 of 2007 edition);
——Requirement for spot illuminance of slit is deleted (4.1.6 of 2007 edition);
——Requirement for field diameter is deleted (4.1.5 of 2007 edition);
——Requirement for mechanical motion is deleted (4.2 of 2007 edition);
——Requirement for environment test is deleted (4.5 of 2007 edition).
This standard has been redrafted and modified in relation to ISO 10939:2007 Ophthalmic Instruments - Slit-lamp Microscopes.
Technical differences exist between this standard and ISO 10939:2007 and clauses involving these differences are indicated by vertical single line (|) at page margin. The technical differences between this standard and ISO 10939:2007 and their reasons are as follows:
——For normative references, this standard covers adjustment on technical differences so as to adapt to the technical conditions in China, which is intensively reflected in Chapter 2 - "Normative References"; specific adjustment is as follows:
Replace IEC 60601-1 with GB 9706.1 which is identical to international standard;
——"This standard is applicable to general slit-lamp microscope." is added in Chapter 1 - "Scope".
——Chapter 5 -"Test Methods" is added. These test methods are recommended to make the requirements of this standard be operable. ISO 10939:2007 contains no test method.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this standard may be the subject of patent rights. The issuing body of this document shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
