I am looking for a satisfatory answer to the question of which IEC standards apply to mechanical devices/systems in general ?? does IEC 60601-1 3rd edition apply to mechanical parts/devices?
IEC standards seem most applcable to devices which have any kind of electrical element but say you have a completely mechanical part or device would IEC apply to it too. I have a mechanical table (rohacell 51R foam wrapped in fiberglass, painted plus sides acetal plastic ) to be used in hospital environment so there are medical regulation to consider but would any specific IEC standard apply (60601-1 3rd)
