DIN EN ISO/IEC 80601-2-56:2015-08

This standard specifies the general, metrological and technical requirements for electrical clinical thermometers. This standard applies to all electrical clinical thermometers that are used for measuring the body temperature of patients. The clinical thermometers can be equipped with interfaces to accommodate secondary indicators, printing equipment, and other auxiliary equipment to create medical electrical systems. This standard does not apply to such accessories. Medical electrical equipment that measures a temperature as a secondary function is outside the scope of this standard. Requirements for medical electrical equipment intended to be used for non-invasive human febrile temperature screening of groups of individuals under indoor environmental conditions are given in IEC 80601-2-59.
