PCB standards for the medical industry

In the medical industry, PCB (Printed Circuit Board) standards play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, reliability, and performance of PCBs used in medical devices. These standards define the specific requirements and guidelines that PCBs must meet to be suitable for medical applications. Some of the prominent PCB standards for the medical industry include:

  • IPC-A-600: This standard, published by the Association Connecting Electronics Industries (IPC), outlines the acceptability of PCBs regarding surface conditions, hole quality, conductive patterns, and other critical aspects.
  • IPC-A-610: Also published by IPC, this standard provides criteria for the acceptance of PCB assemblies, ensuring that they meet the necessary workmanship standards for medical devices.
  • ISO 13485: Although primarily focused on quality management systems, ISO 13485 also covers aspects related to PCB design, manufacturing, and control for medical devices.
  • IEC 60601-1: As mentioned earlier, this standard applies to medical electrical equipment and systems, specifying safety and performance requirements that PCBs in medical devices must adhere to.
  • IEC 61010-1: This standard specifically addresses safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use, which includes many medical devices with PCBs.
  • UL 60601-1: UL certification ensures that the PCBs and electrical components used in medical devices meet safety and performance standards as required by UL.
  • RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive: While not directly a PCB standard, RoHS compliance restricts the use of hazardous substances in PCBs, making them safer for medical device applications.
  • IEC 62368-1: This standard applies to electrical and electronic equipment within specific voltage ranges and ensures safety requirements for PCBs used in medical devices.
  • J-STD-001: This standard, also published by IPC, defines the requirements for the soldering of electrical and electronic assemblies, including medical PCBs.
