Foreword
All technical contents (requirements) of this Part are mandatory.
The serial standards of Medical Electrical Equipment can be divided into two parts:
--- Part 1: General and Collateral Requirements;
--- Part 2: Particular Requirements.
This Part is Part 1-8.
This Part was drafted as per the rules specified in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Part replaced YY 0709-2009 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. Compared
with YY 0709-2009, the major technical changes of this Part are as follows besides the editorial
modifications:
--- Update the structure of this Part according to the standard structure of IEC 60601-
1:2005+A1:2012;
--- Add the term "acknowledged" (see 3.37 of this Edition);
--- Add the general requirements (see Clause 4 of this Edition);
--- Added ME equipment identification, marking and documents (see Clause 5 of this
Edition);
--- Add the operator adjustable sound pressure level (see 6.3.3.3 of this Edition);
--- Add the DISTRIBUTED ALARM SYSTEM intended for confirmed delivery of ALARM
CONDITIONS (see 6.11.2.2.1 of this Edition);
--- Add the DISTRIBUTED ALARM SYSTEM not intended for confirmed delivery of
ALARM CONDITIONS (see 6.11.2.2.2 of this Edition);
--- Add the technical requirements for the provision of ME equipment with a global AUDIO
OFF in a DISTRIBUTED ALARM SYSTEM (see 6.11.2.2.3 of this Edition);
--- Modify the inspection and functional testing methods of the alarm system (see 6.3.3.1
and 6.3.3.2 of this Edition; 201.3.3.1 and 201.3.3.2 of 2009 Edition).
This Part adopts the redrafting method to modify and use IEC 60601-1-8:2006+A1:2012
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 (English Version).
Compared with IEC 60601-1-8:2006+A1:2012, the major technical differences and editorial
modifications of this Part are as follows:
--- Regarding the normative references, this Part has made adjustments with technical
differences to adapt to the technical conditions of China. The adjustments are reflected
in Clause 2 “Normative References”. The specific adjustments are as follows:
 Use GB/T 3767-2016 that equivalently adopts international standard to replace ISO
3744:2010;
 Use GB/T 3785.1-2010 that equivalently adopts international standard to replace
IEC 61672-1:2002;
 Use GB 9706.1-2020 that modifies and adopts international standard to replace IEC
60601-1:2005+AMD1:2012;
 Use YY/T 1474 that modifies and adopts international standard to replace IEC
62366:2007.
This Part made the following editorial modifications:
--- Add A.3 in Annex A, which gives the corresponding relationship between international
standard and current national or industry standard;
--- Delete the index.

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
1 Scope, Object and Related Standards
1.1 * Scope
This Part 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 Part specifies requirements for ALARM SYSTEMS and ALARM SIGNALS in ME
EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS.
This Part also provides guidance for the application of ALARM SYSTEMS.
NOTE: Clauses and subclauses marked with an asterisk (*) in this Part have relevant principle
explanations in Annex A.
1.2 Object
The object of this Part is to specify BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE
requirements and tests for ALARM SYSTEMS in ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS and
to provide guidance for their application. This is accomplished by defining alarm categories
(priorities) by degree of urgency, consistent ALARM SIGNALS and consistent control states
and their marking for all ALARM SYSTEMS.
This Part does not specify:
– whether any particular ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM is required to be provided with
ALARM SYSTEMS;
– the particular circumstances which initiate an ALARM CONDITION;
– the allocation of priorities to a particular ALARM CONDITION; or
the auditory ALARM SIGNAL sound pressure level is below a threshold that is
configured:
– by a means restricted to the RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION (see 6.7); or
– by the MANUFACTURER.
This condition may be visually indicated (marked) with symbol IEC 60417-5576 (2002-11)
(see Symbol 5 of Table C.1). If this symbol is used as that visual indication, an
INFORMATION SIGNAL or other additional visual indication may be provided to distinguish
this state from AUDIO OFF.
An ALARM SYSTEM may be equipped with a dynamically algorithm-adjusted minimum
auditory ALARM SIGNAL sound pressure level. If equipped, the ALARM SYSTEM shall
include a means, accessible only to the RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION (see 6.7) to enable
and disable the algorithm-adjusted minimum auditory ALARM SIGNAL sound pressure level.
If equipped, the instructions for use shall describe the algorithm and the minimum and
maximum levels.
EXAMPLE 1: An algorithm that sets the minimum auditory ALARM SIGNAL sound pressure level in
response to current am...
