Get ready for the 4th Edition of EN 60601-1-2 with Eurofins York

As from the 30^th December 2018, the 3^rd edition of the collateral standard for Medical Electrical (ME) Equipment, IEC / EN 60601-1-2, will be repealed and compliance to 4^th Edition of IEC/EN 60601-1-2 will be mandatory for all medical electrical products put on the market thereafter.

As the 30^th December 2018 shall be soon upon us, this is the final opportunity for designers, manufacturers and suppliers to ensure that their equipment complies with all the requirements of the 4^th Edition.

Any equipment that has been assessed against the requirements of the 3^rd  Edition, but that has not yet been against the requirements of the 4^th Edition, cannot be placed onto the market after the end of December 2018.

This will have a significant impact if you are currently importing, manufacturing or designing equipment and is regardless of whether it was first placed on the market prior to this date.

Now’s the time to act to ensure that you can continue to sell your existing products, as well as ensuring that any new products in development will meet the requirements of the standard.
