DIN EN 62570:2016-09

The International Standard has been prepared in IEC/TC 62/SC 62B "Diagnostic imaging equipment". In the vicinity of magnetic resonance (MR) equipment, interactions between fields and objects can cause serious injury to patients, medical personnel, or others within the controlled area of an MR facility. This standard establishes a uniform marking practice that indicates potential hazards in the vicinity of MR DEVICES (labeling standard). The standard prescribes simple graphical symbols and terms intended to prevent injuries and other incidents. This standard deals only with the marking of items. Malfunctions that lead to image quality degradation or artifacts are not considered in this standard. This standard is intended for users of MR equipment and manufacturers or suppliers of items to be used in the MR environment. The committee responsible for this standard is DIN Standards Committee NA 080-00-18 GA Gemeinschaftsausschuss NAR/DKE "Magnetresonanzverfahren" (Joint Committee NAR/DKE "Magnetic resonance methods") in collaboration with Deutsche Röntgengesellschaft (German Radiological Society) and in collaboration with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nuklearmedizin e. V. (DGN) (German Society of Nuclear Medicine), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Medizinische Physik e. V. (DGMP) (German Society for Medical Physics) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Radioonkologie e. V. (DEGRO) (German Society for Radio Oncology).
