Some other countries such as Australia, New Zealand, and Denmark use similar recommendations, but they are not technically required by law. This article will focus on power cords required for medical equipment in North America, most notably the United States and Canada.
In Technical Terms
Under regulatory and safety committees in the US and Canada, hospital-grade power cord requirements are highlighted under the following sections:
- UL 60601-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2 no. 21 (medical equipment standards)
