REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Standards and regulations
Following is a list of regulatory standards that we have expertise in:
Mains Safety
-
AS3100 - Approval and test specification - General requirements for electrical equipment: This is the primary specification governing the approval and test specification of electrical equipment. As such any electronic product must adhere to these basic rules governing safety.
-
IEC 60730-1 - Automatic electrical controls - Part 1: General requirements: Most devices we design include elements of a control system including the use of relays.
-
IEC 60335-1 - Safety for household and similar electrical appliances: This is for both battery operated appliances and mains connected.
-
AS/NZS 61558 - Safety of transformers, reactors, power supply units: This covers a specific aspect around power supply used in most product designs
-
UL60950 - Safety of Information Technology Equipment: Any products classified as information technology must adhere to this standard.
-
AS3000 - Wiring Rules: Many electronic products are hard wired into a building environment. As such the design and installation instructions must adhere to general wiring rules for electrical installations.

Why compliance systems are needed
Companies developing products or devices must set up compliance systems for two core reasons:
-
Demonstrating compliance with technical standards
-
Gaining certification with regulatory authorities
It is easy to identify WHAT you need to do to comply. HOW to comply is much harder – particularly with complex technical standards.
Medical Device Compliance
Genesys can provide support for any standard. However, we primarily work in areas related to quality, risk, software development and electrical safety. Key headline standards we have expertise in are:
-
ISO 13485 - Medical devices -- Quality management systems
-
ISO 14971 -Medical devices -- Application of risk management
-
IEC 60601-1 - Medical electrical equipment
-
IEC 60601-1-2 - Electromagnetic Compatibility
-
IEC 62034 - Medical Device Software Life Cycle
Many of the industrial standards in the next panel also apply to medical devices.
