What is IEC 61784-3-2:2018 ?

IEC 61784-3-2:2018 and IEC 61557-16:2018 are two important international standards that are relevant to the testing and measurement of protective measures for medical electrical equipment.

IEC 61784-3-2:2018, also known as "Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V a.c. and 1 500 V d.c. - Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring protective measures - Part 32: Equipment for measuring the effectiveness of protective measures of medical electrical equipment", provides guidelines for testing the effectiveness of protective measures for medical electrical equipment. The objective of this standard is to ensure that these devices comply with the necessary safety requirements and provide accurate measurement results.

On the other hand, IEC 61557-15:2018 is an international standard that addresses the requirements for electrical safety in electrical measurements. It provides guidance on the testing and verification of electrical installations, systems, and equipment to ensure they meet the necessary safety standards. The main objective of this standard is to help ensure the safety of electrical measurements by providing a standardized approach.

Both IEC 61784-3-2:2018 and IEC 61557-15:2018 have key requirements outlined to ensure the safety of electrical installations and systems. By adhering to these standards, manufacturers can confidently produce reliable and safe medical electrical equipment, and professionals can accurately assess the condition and performance of electrical systems.
