Overview of
rd
3
edition
System risk management needs to be managed by the customer.
Most applications are categorized as:
MOOP: Means of Operator Protection
MOPP: Means of Patient Protection
SL Power provides a COMPONENT – risk management at
component level is not required
After June 2012 all Europe medical Safety submissions must be
to 3rd edition
After June 2013 all UL medical Safety submissions must be to
3rd edition
Products approved to prior editions are still allowed by UL
So far, very few power supplies are approved to 3rd edition
SL Power has started the 3rd edition upgrade
IEC/EN 60601-1 2nd Ed. and IEC/EN 60601-1 3rd Ed.
DIFFERENCES
DESCRIPTION
2ND EDITION
3RD EDITION
Earth Leakage Current:
300/500 uA NC,
500/1000 uA SFC
Components in Table XA at
highest ambient and
components in Table XB
corrected for 25 C ambient.
Less stringent
5 mA NC,
10 mA SFC
All components tested for highest
ambient.
Vrms:
Less stringent.
Vpk or Vdc:
More stringent with switch-mode
power supplies.
Same for MOPP, but MOOP is less
stringent (based on 60950-1
requirements). Interpolation is
permitted for creepage requirements
for MOOP and MOPP.
Clearance table for MOOP for up to
2000 m, and 3000 m for MOPP.
Multiplication factors added for
higher altitudes up to 5000 m using
Table 8.
Temperatures

operating ambient:
Temperature for
accessible surfaces:
Dielectric test voltage
determined using :
Creepage and clearance
More stringent and no
interpolation allowed.
Clearance for operating
altitude:
Clearance table for up to
3000 m.
More stringent

SL Power Timeline
SLPE will have all standard products developed in
the last 2 years validated to 3rd edition MOOP by
end Q4. (90% should qualify)
MINT1065
received approval expected
Priority list for 3rd edition upgrade has been generated and
estimated approval dates are slated accordingly
If the SYSTEM requires MOPP - a redesign may be necessary with
the attendant testing. This is due to constructional / isolation
requirements.
Legacy products need to be analyzed to match customer application
and requirements.

Edition Summary
edition is a system
specification
Four
questions - We need to know details
about the customer’s application:
AC Grounding – class I or class II
MOOP or MOPP
If MOPP – isolation “B”, “BF” or “CF”
Touch temperature in customer’s system
Thank you!
