9 domains
102 controls

The IEC general standard for the basic safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment and systems, built from the complete Edition 3.1 text (2005 with Amendment 1:2012): 102 sub-clause leaves covering risk management, electrical, mechanical, thermal and radiation hazards, marking and documents, PEMS, construction and ME systems.

Verified

IEC 60601-1 - Medical Electrical Equipment Safety is a compliance framework from International (IEC); adopted as EN 60601-1, ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60601-1 and nationally with 9 domains and 102 controls that map to 222 other frameworks. The largest domains are Clauses 4 to 5: general requirements and testing – IEC 60601-1 - Medical Electrical Equipment Safety (20 controls), Clauses 6 to 7: classification, identification, marking and documents – IEC 60601-1 - Medical Electrical Equipment Safety (15 controls), Clauses 11 to 13: temperatures, fire, outputs, hazardous situations and fault conditions – IEC 60601-1 - Medical Electrical Equipment Safety (14 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.

Coverage is not the same as your position

This page shows what IEC 60601-1 - Medical Electrical Equipment Safety overlaps with in general. Where your organisation actually stands, against the standard you are going for and the certifications you already hold, is a different question. Same graph and the same recorded refutations, scoped to you rather than to a pair.
