IEC 60601-2-1:1981
Medical electrical equipment. Part 2: Particular requirements for medical electron accelerators in the range 1 MeV to 50 MeV. Section One: General. Section Two: Radiation safety for equipment
Establishes requirements for a satisfactory level of radiation safety for medical electron accelerators used in human medical practice for therapy under the jurisdiction of a qualified person. Applies to accelerators which deliver a useful beam of either X-radiation or electron radiation, with energies in the range 1 MeV to 50 MeV, and at maximum absorbed dose rates between 0,001 and 1 Gy s-1 at 1 m from the radiation source and at normal treatment distances between 0.5 m and 2 m from the radiation source.

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.
