C SA Preface This is the second edition of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60601-1-8, Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-8: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: General requirements, tests and guidance for alarm systems in medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems, which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 60601-1-8 (second edition, 2006-10). It supersedes the previous edition published in 2005 as CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60601-1-8, Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-8: General requirements for safety - Collateral standard: General requirements, tests and guidance for alarm systems in medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems (adopted IEC 60601-1-8:2005). It is one in a series of Standards issued by CSA under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code. Scope This International Standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT and MEDICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, hereafter referred to as ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS. This collateral standard specifies requirements for ALARM SYSTEMS and ALARM SIGNALS in ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS. It also provides guidance for the application of ALARM SYSTEMS. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Préface CSA Ce document constitue la deuxième édition de la CAN/CSA-C22.2 nº 60601-1-8, Appareils électromédicaux - Partie 1-8 : Exigences générales pour la sécurité de base et les performances essentielles - Norme collatérale : Exigences générales, essais et guide pour les systèmes d\'alarme des appareils et des systèmes électromédicaux. Il s\'agit de l\'adoption, sans modifications, de la norme CEI (Commission Électrotechnique Internationale) 60601-1-8 (deuxième édition, 2006-10), qui porte le même titre. Cette norme remplace l\'édition précédente publiée en 2005 et intitulée CAN/CSA-C22.2 nº 60601-1-8, Appareils électromédicaux - Partie 1-8 : Règles générales de sécurité - Norme collatérale : Règles générales, essais et recommendations pour les systèmes d\'alarme des appareils et des systèmes électromédicaux (norme CEI 60601-1-8:2005 adoptée). Cette norme fait partie d\'une série de normes publiées par CSA lesquelles constituent le Code canadien de l\'électricité, Deuxième partie. Domaine d\'application La présente Norme internationale s\'applique à la SÉCURITÉ DE BASE et aux PERFORMANCES ESSENTIELLES des APPAREILS ÉLECTROMÉDICAUX et des SYSTÈMES ÉLECTROMÉDICAUX, désignés ci-après sous le terme APPAREILS EM et SYSTÈMES EM. La présente norme collatérale spécifie les exigences applicables aux SYSTÈMES D\'ALARME et aux SIGNAUX D\'ALARME des APPAREILS ET DES SYSTÈMES EM. Elle donne également des lignes directrices pour l\'application des SYSTÈMES D\'ALARME.
