FR Recognition Number 6-389
Standard(Included in ASCA)
IEC  60601-2-2 Edition 6.0 2017-03
Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-2: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of high frequency surgical equipment and high frequency surgical accessories
Identical Adoption
ANSI AAMI IEC 60601-2-2:2017
Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-2: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of high frequency surgical equipment and high frequency surgical accessories
Scope/Abstract
This standard applies to the basic safety and essential performance of HF surgical equipment and HF surgical accessories.

HF surgical equipment having a rated output power not exceeding 50 W (for example for micro-coagulation, or for use in dentistry or ophthalmology) is exempt from certain of the requirements of this particular standard. These exemptions are indicated in the relevant requirements.
Extent of Recognition
Partial recognition. The following part(s) of the standard is (are) not recognized:
Subclause 202.7 ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS requirements for ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS
Subclause 202.8 Electromagnetic IMMUNITY requirements for ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS
Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.

This standard is recognized in part because:
Subclause 202.7 and subclause 202.8 are in conflict with an existing published final guidance, see section XII, Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility of the guidance listed below (#3).
Subclause 202.7 and subclause 202.8 are in conflict with another recognized standard, see subclause 4.3.1 and subclause 8.1 of IEC 60601-1-2 Edition 4.1 2020-09 listed below (#6).
