In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern healthcare, medical electrical equipment has become an indispensable part of the medical field. From commonly used patient monitors to sophisticated surgical instruments, these devices play a crucial role in disease diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. However, as the complexity of medical devices continues to increase, safety incidents related to equipment failures are on the rise. These incidents not only pose significant threats to patient lives and health but also create potential risks for healthcare professionals. To ensure the safety of all stakeholders and standardize the market, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has developed and continuously refined the IEC60601-1 standard, which has emerged as the cornerstone of the medical electrical equipment industry, providing clear guidelines for device design, production, and operation.

The IEC60601-1 standard focuses on the essential safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems. Through multiple revisions and updates since its initial release, it has incorporated expert opinions and practical experiences from around the world. It closely follows the trends of emerging technologies and actively addresses the ever - evolving safety challenges. In an era where medical devices are becoming increasingly intelligent and multifunctional, the significance of this standard has grown exponentially.

During the actual testing process, a range of specialized testing equipment is required in accordance with different clauses of the IEC60601-1:2020 standard to ensure that medical electrical equipment fully meets safety and performance requirements. The flowing table lists the testing equipment corresponding to the relevant clauses.
