Proceedings of The British Institute of Radiology

The British Standards Institute has adopted a policy of full co-operation with the International Electrotechnical Commission in its programme in Technical Committee 62 of drafting standards to cover electrical equipment used in medical practice. UK delegates drawn from many disciplines and nominated by many national bodies participate in all the working groups, together with colleagues from virtually all countries of the world. Aspects covered by the various documents include safety from both electrical and mechanical considerations, radiation protection, installation requirements, performance and methods of test, interchangeability and common markings, etc. for almost all equipment used in a medical environment—including, of course, both X-ray diagnostic and therapeutic generators.
