Hello,
I am looking to verify the requirements of IEC 60601-1 (2005) subclause 8.7.4 (specifically touch current). I am currently developing a Medical device for use in the home. It is IP21.
Now per subclause 5.7, a Humidity preconditioning treatment needs to be performed prior to the leakage tests.
I was informed by an associate to precondition for 7 days. Now current 3rd edition standard only goes up to 48 hours and says the time can be extended if there is risk.
My associate no longer works with me and I am wondering where he got the 7 days from when the risk assessment has not even been done. I know the second edition of the standard includes a 7 day humidity statement for drip proof and splash proof equipment.
I feel like I am going insane right now looking for something that I will not find, but think is there.
Hopefully someone has an idea of what my problem is.
