IEC 60601-1 4th Edition - Is a "Red-line" version available?

RCW

Quite Involved in Discussions
Is anyone aware of the availability of a red-lined version of 60601-1 that compares 4th edition against 3rd edition? (To purchase, not an illegal copy)

OR

Has anybody run across any comparison of these available on the web? I did find something from Intertek (http://www.intertek.com/blog/2015-07-22-medical-emc/) but that was just a general "what's changing" article.

Re: 60601-1 4th Edition - red-line available?

Red line versions are only available for amended standards - that is, ones where the basic structure is maintained but some lines or paragraphs are changed. The new 60601-1-2 Edition 4 of the EMC standard is a completely new standard.

I'm just now looking through Ed 4 - and getting worried!

(I have a 15 page guide to Ed 4, from Intertek, but cannot seem to find it on their web-site. It is titled 'IEC60601-1-2 Edition 4: New Requirements for Medical EMC')

Perhaps we should have been a little clearer:-

The Edition 4 standard referred to above was the EMC standard 60601-1-2:2015

Not the amended 60601:1 Edition 3.1
