Overview
This standard is the adaptation to the new structure of the DIN EN 60601-1 family, the basic standard of which has been published as DIN EN 60601-1:2007 + A1:2013. The purpose of these special provisions is to define special requirements for the safety of electromyographs and evoked response equipment for determining and analyzing biopotentials accompanying nerve and muscle actions, either spontaneously, voluntarily or evoked by electrical or other stimulation. The responsible committee is Subcommittee DKE/UK 812.1 "Diagnostik" ("Diagnostics") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
