- Model：
IEC 60601-1-Figure 33 Body upper-carriage module
9.8.3.3 * Dynamic forces due to loading from persons
Where dynamic forces (due to sitting down, standing up, PATIENT handling PROCESS or the like) can be exerted on ME equipment parts intended to support or suspend a PATIENT or OPERATOR in NORMAL USE, the ME EQUIPMENT shall maintain BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL
PERFORMANCE.
Compliance is checked by the following test:
Prior to performing this test, the PATIENT support/suspension system is positioned horizontally in its most disadvantageous position in NORMAL USE.
For the area of support/suspension where a PATIENT or OPERATOR can sit, the top reservoir of the body upper-carriage module described in Figure 33 is loaded with the appropriate mass to obtain the SAFE WORKING LOAD representing the PATIENT or OPERATOR as defined in the ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS. The body upper-carriage module with appropriate mass is dropped from a distance of 150 mm from the lowest edge of the foam to the area where a PATIENT or OPERATOR can sit. BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE shall be maintained.
NOTE Examples of damage that can affect BASIC SAFETY include the reduction of CREEPAGE DISTANCES and AIR CLEARANCES below those specified in 8.9, access to parts that exceed limits in 8.4, or access to moving parts which could cause HARM.
Assessment criteria that can be useful in determining if this test has resulted in a loss of BASIC SAFETY include:
– those in Clause 8 and 11.6;
– the dielectric strength test as specified in 8.8.3 to evaluate the integrity of solid providing a MEANS OF PROTECTION; and
– measurement of CREEPAGE DISTANCES or AIR CLEARANCES to compare the values with the minimum distances
specified in 8.9. Small chips that do not adversely affect the protection against electric shock or moisture can
normally be ignored.
Equipment picture
IEC60601-1-Figure 33 Body Upper-Carriage Module. IEC 60601-1 — medical electrical equipment — general requirements for basic safety and essential performance. IEC 60601-1 is the base standard for the basic safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment; the collateral and particular standards add requirements for specific equipment types. This unit is built by Kingpo for bench use in a medical electrical safety laboratory, and it is supplied with a calibration certificate.
What it measures
- The quantities named in the applicable clause of IEC 60601-1
- Worst-case supply and load conditions, selected from the front panel or automatically
- Pass/fail against the limits entered by the operator, with the reading retained for the report

How a test run works
- Configure the supply condition and the measuring device arrangement the clause requires.
- Connect the equipment under test, including any applied part and earth reference.
- Select or program the sequence: normal condition first, then the single-fault conditions.
- Run, capture the readings and compare them with the allowable values in the standard.
- Store or print the result set; the test report needs every condition, not just the pass.
Buying notes
Confirm three things before ordering: which edition of IEC 60601-1 your market requires, whether you need the single-fault conditions automated, and what load range your products actually present. Sending us the clause numbers you test against is usually faster than comparing model names.
Frequently asked questions
Is the unit calibrated before despatch?
Yes, and we re-calibrate on request.
Can it be supplied for 110 V?
Yes — other supply voltages and plug types are available; tell us the market.
Do you provide the test procedure?
We supply the operating procedure and, where the standard allows, the test sequence pre-programmed.
