Annex ZZ
(informative)

Relationship between this European Standard and the essential requirements
of Directive 98/79/EC [OJ L 331] aimed to be covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardisation request, M/252,
concerning the development of European Standards relating to in vitro diagnostic medical devices, to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to essential requirements of Directive 98/79/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 1998 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices
[OJ L 331].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZ.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements
of that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.
NOTE 1 This standard is intended to be applied in its entirety only. Selected clauses or subclauses may be not
applicable due to the specific type of equipment under consideration. It is necessary to understand and apply
Clauses 1 to 4. It is also recommended to understand and apply those clauses which contain general
requirements related to a specific subclause. Elements of the standard that are not cited in Table ZZ.1 may be
relevant for the appropriate fulfilment of certain essential requirements through indirect reference, and for safety
and performance aspects of the device, that are not addressed through essential requirements.
NOTE 2 Where a reference from a clause of this standard to the risk management process is made, the risk
management process needs to be in compliance with Directive 98/79/EC. This means that risks have to be
reduced ‘as far as possible’, ‘to a minimum’, ‘to the lowest possible level’, ‘minimized’ or ‘removed’, according to
the wording of the corresponding essential requirement.
NOTE 3 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with Essential
Requirements Part A: 1, 2 and 5; Part B: 1.2, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 of the Directive.
NOTE 4 This Annex ZZ is based on normative references according to Annex ZA, replacing the references in
the core text.
NOTE 5 When an Essential Requirement does not appear in Table ZZ.1, it means that it is not addressed by
this European Standard.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
FOR MEASUREMENT, CONTROL AND LABORATORY USE –

Part 2-101: Particular requirements for
in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical equipment

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61010-2-101 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 66:
Safety of measuring, control and laboratory equipment.
It has the status of a group safety publication, as specified in IEC Guide 104.
This standard has been prepared in close collaboration with Working Group CENELEC
