Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-1: Particular requirements for the safety of electron accelerators in the range 1 MeV to 50 MeV

Establishes requirements to be complied with by manufacturers in the design and construction of electron accelerators for use in radiotherapy and defines type tests and site tests. Places limits on the degradation of equipment performance beyond which it can be presumed that a fault condition exists and where an interlock then operates to prevent continued operation of the equipment.
