Defines test methods to be carried out on equipment and subassemblies of X-ray imaging installations to assess the constancy of functional performance by means of test instrumentation and test devices that are simple to use. It is identical with and reproduced from IEC 1223-1:1993.

This technical report applies to equipment and subassemblies forming those constituent components of diagnostic X-RAY INSTALLATIONS that generate, influence the propagation of, and detect the X-RADIATION, and process, present and store the radiological information.
