Abstract
The progress towards a coherent policy of international standardisation of electrical equipment used in medical practice is reviewed against the background of existing legislation in Western Europe. The work of the International Electrotechnical Commission and the implications of the EEC in this context are discussed, as well as the general philosophy of the safety of medical electrical equipment in relation to standardisation.
