UNE-EN IEC 62667:2018

This International Standard applies to LIGHT ION BEAM ME EQUIPMENT when used, for therapy purposes, inhuman medical practice.This standard applies to LIGHT ION BEAM ME EQUIPMENT which delivers LIGHT ION BEAMS with an ENERGYPER NUCLEON in the range 10 MeV/n to 500 MeV/n.This standard describes measurements and test procedures to be performed by the MANUFACTURER ofLIGHT ION BEAM ME EQUIPMENT but does not specify ACCEPTANCE TESTS.This standard specifies test procedures for the determination and disclosure of performancecharacteristics, knowledge of which is deemed necessary for proper selection, application, and use ofLIGHT ION BEAM ME EQUIPMENT and which are to be declared in the ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATIONtogether with the greatest deviation or variation to be expected under specific conditions in NORMAL USE.A format for presentation of performance values is given in Annex A.It is recognized that inaccuracies in the test methods must be allowed for when assessing performance.However, it was not felt to be advisable to combine the errors into an overall performance tolerance butto keep them separate in the expectation that more accurate test methods will evolve.It is not intended that this standard should in any way inhibit the future development of new designs ofequipment which may have operating modes and parameters different from those described herein,provided that such equipment achieves equivalent or better levels of performance for the TREATMENT ofPATIENTS.This standard applies to both ISOCENTRIC and non-isocentric GANTRIES but many of the tests assumethat the LIGHT ION BEAM ME EQUIPMENT has an ISOCENTRIC gantry. Where the equipment is non-isocentric,the description of performance and test methods may need to be suitably adapted.
