Standard(Included in ASCA)
IEC  60601-2-63 Edition 1.1 2017-07 CONSOLIDATED VERSION
Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-63: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of dental extra-oral X-ray equipment
Scope/Abstract
This International Standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of DENTAL EXTRA-ORAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT, hereafter also called ME EQUIPMENT. The scope includes ME SYSTEMS containing such ME EQUIPMENT.

The scope of this standard is restricted to X-RAY EQUIPMENT where:
- the X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLY contains the HIGH-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER ASSEMBLY and
- the geometrical relations between the X-RAY SOURCE, the anatomical object being imaged
in the PATIENT, and the X-RAY IMAGE RECEPTOR, are preset in the design and cannot be arbitrarily altered by the OPERATOR during INTENDED USE.

ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS in the scope of IEC 60601-2-44, IEC 60601-2-54, IEC 60601-2-45, IEC 60601-2-65 or IEC 60601-2-43 are excluded from the scope of this particular standard. The scope of this International Standard also excludes RADIOTHERAPY SIMULATORS and equipment for bone or tissue absorption densitometry. Excluded from the scope is also ME EQUIPMENT intended to be used for DENTAL RADIOSCOPY.

Within its specific scope, the clauses of this particular standard supersede and replace those of IEC 60601-2-7, Medical electrical equipment - Particular requirements for the safety of high-voltage generators of diagnostic X-ray generators and of IEC 60601-2-32, Medical electrical equipment - Particular requirements for the safety of associated equipment of X-ray equipment.
Extent of Recognition
Complete standard
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.
Transition Period
FDA recognition of IEC 60601-2-63 Edition 1.1 2017-05 CONSOLIDATED VERSION [Rec# 12-310] will be superseded by recognition of IEC 60601-2-63 Edition 1.2 2021-05 CONSOLIDATED VERSION [Rec# 12-339]. FDA will accept declarations of conformity, in support of premarket submissions, to [Rec# 12-310] until December 17, 2023. After this transition period, declarations of conformity to [Rec# 12-310] will not be accepted.
