There are big changes coming in the 2011 amendment to the bs7671 17th edition concerning health care premises and earth free locations (IT supplies or floating neutral) because of our long association with the marine industry we are au-fait with IT systems.

Obviously there are times when even the lowest of currents passing through a body will have a detrimental effect on the patient as such new zones are being set up to determine the level of protection needed in each.

Group 0

Medical location where no part applied parts are intended to be used and where discontinuity of the supply cannot cause danger to life.

Group 1

Medical location where discontinuity of supply does not represent a threat to the safety of the patient and applied parts are intended to be used as follows: externally, invasively to any part of the body, except where 710.3.7 applies

Group 2

Medical locations where applied parts are intended to be used in applications such as intracardiac procedures, vital treatments and surgical operations where the failure of the supply can cause danger of death.

 

 

These zones and regulations are in the committee stage right now and are not expected to be in force until the new amendment of BS 7671 comes into being,this is expected in June / July 2011
