The minimum safety requirements specified in this particular standard are considered to provide for a practical degree of safety in the operation of low energy ionized gas haemostasis equipment. This particular standard amends and supplements IEC 60601-1:2005 and IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance, hereinafter referred to as the general standard (see 201.1.4). The requirements are followed by specifications for the relevant tests. A "Particular guidance and rationale" section giving some explanatory notes, where appropriate, about the more important requirements is included in Annex AA.
