Confused by chapter numbering scheme in new standard (IEC EN-60601-2-37:2007)

Dear Group,

I recently bought a new IEC standard EN-60601-2-37:2007, and I am slightly confused with the numbering scheme of this standard.

The old version of this standard has section (chapter) numbers like
1
1.1
2 .. .etc

The new one has the chapters and section organized like:
201.1
201.1.2 i.e. all clauses start with 201. I do not know what this "201" is with reference to or how I am supposed to read it?

Even though the standard is a 2nd revision, I think it is supposed to work with the 3rd edition of 60601-1. Maybe that has something to do with it.

can anyone shed some light upon this?

regards
t.

Re: Confused by chapter numbering scheme in new standard

Arrgh,

The moment I pressed "submit thread" I found the answer myself. (even though I have been searching both internet and standerd for some time)

I put the answer here for the sake of not leaving "loose ends". Too bad I cannot thank myself :agree:

Moderator feel free to delete this thread...

Subclauses , figures or tables which are additional to those for the general standard are numbered starting from 201.101 (...) Subclauses or figures which are additional to those of a collateral standard are numbered starting from 20X, where "x" is the number of the collateral standard, e.g. 202 for IEC 60601-1-2, 203 for IEC 60601-1-3 etc.
