Terms and Explanations of the electrical safety in Medical Technology

In order to complete electrical safety measurements and tests on technical medical devices, it is essential to be familiar with technical terms used in various standards. Experience shows that students of medical engineering often have problems understanding and interpreting specific, technical terms.
A compilation of essential technical terms is also helpful with regard to the current modification of relevant (medical engineering) standards. The following publication should help to explain these terms in a comprehensible way (without resorting to the language used in official standards).
