Specifies the safety requirements for approval and test purposes for equipment used in medical practice for treatment of the patient by exposure to electric or magnet ic fields produced by operation of equipment with frequencies between 3 MHz and 45 MHz. T his Standard is to be read in conjunction with AS 3200.1.0-1990. It is identical wi th and reproduced from IEC 601-2-3:1991.

This clause of the General Standard applies except as follows:Addition:This Particular Standard specifies the requirements for the safety of SHORT-WAVE THERAPY EQUIPMENT as defined in Sub-clause 2.1, hereinafter referred to as EQUIPMENT having a RATED OUTPUT POWER not exceeding 500 W.EQUIPMENT having a RATED OUTPUT POWER not exceeding 10 W is exempted from certain requirements of this Standard. Such EQUIPMENT is called low power EQUIPMENT.
