An Overview of the Standards affecting the Medical fraternity include:
(as taken from Standards New Zealand with online links as referenced below)
​
Provides a guide to the safe use and application of electricity operated equipment used in health care. In addition to providing protection against electric shock to patients and staff, provision to safeguard against hazards such as thermal, radiant and mechanical, are also included. Measures required to provide and maintain patient and operator safety, including specification of the class of equipment and electrical installation to be employed for particular medical procedures, are also included.
Outlines procedures required to develop management programs for medical equipment. These include protocols and procedures for procurement, acceptance, maintenance activities throughout the service life of the medical equipment, and finally disposal of medical equipment.
Specifies particular requirements for electrical installations in patient areas. These requirements are additional to those specified in AS/NZS 3000 and the New Zealand Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010. This standard sets out the requirements for areas in new electrical installations and for alterations and repairs of patient areas in existing electrical installations where the organization/entity responsible for that electrical installation has determined that low-voltage medical electrical equipment will be used on a patient. It covers special patient areas, including homecare installations and transportable vehicles. It also contains requirements for identification, inspection and testing of patient areas.
This Standard is a revision of AS/NZS 3760:2003, and specifies procedures for the safety inspection and testing of low voltage single phase and polyphase electrical equipment, connected to the electrical supply by a flexible cord and/or connecting device, which is new equipment placed into service for the first time, is already in-service, has been serviced or repaired, is returning to service from a second-hand sale, or is available for hire.
