Notes

Claudia's Notes:
By the way, Committee SC62A (the author of IEC 60601-1 ED. 3.1:2012) recognizes that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication this type of new, amended or revised IEC publication — both to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests.  For this reason, the Committee recommends that the content of this publication be adopted for mandatory implementation nationally not earlier than 3 years from the date of publication.

One more thing:  If you have the 3.0 Edition, you can order the Amendment 1 and all three Corrigendums.  This will be the same as the 3.1 Consolidated Edition with the Corrigendum 1 from November 2012.
