IEC 60601-2-46:2016 specifies safety requirements for operating tables, whether or not having electrical parts, including transporters, used for the transportation of the operating table top to or from the base or pedestal of an operating table with detachable operating table top. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2010 and constitutes a technical revision. This edition of IEC 60601-2-46 was revised to align structurally with the 2005 edition of IEC 60601-1 and with IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012.
