Over the past 10 years, medical science has advanced significantly. The associated equipment is becoming more and more sophisticated, and the electrical risks involved must be completely under control. Safety risks can result directly from medical equipment as well as the installations to which they are connected.
As part of the new approach to technical harmonization in the European Union, directives have also been established for medical devices. The guiding principle of these directives is that only zero-risk is acceptable, especially if the device is to touch the human body, in which case even the smallest problem can present a real danger. Further, hospitals are coupling equipment from various sources and these combinations must be 100% safe.
SGS is one of the premiere organizations accredited for the certification of electro-medical equipment and can assist you in ensuring the safety and functionality of your medical equipment.
