6. Description of content:  This Pakistan Standard was adopted by the authority of the

the draft prepared  by the Technical Committee for "Electromedical Equipment 
(ESTC  –  14)" had been approved and endorsed by the National Standards Committee 
for Electronics  on 12 -01-2009.  
 This Pakistan Standard  PS: IEC 61267 -2009 was adopted in the year 1998 based on IEC 
61267 -1994 "Medical diagnostic X -ray equipment - Radiation conditions for use in the 
determination of characteristics". Since IEC has revised this standard in  2005, hence it 
deemed necessary to  revise  this Pakistan Standard also on IEC basis.  
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where 
applicable:  This International Standard applies to test procedures which, for the 
determination of characteristics of systems or components of medical diagnostic X -RAY 
EQUIPMENT, require well -defined RADIATION CONDITIONS. Except for mammography, 
this standard does no t apply to conditions where discontinuities in radiation absorption of 
elements are deliberately used to modify properties of the RADIATION BEAM (for example 
by rare earth filters). RADIATION CONDITIONS as used for screen -film sensitometry are 
not covered in this standard. Quality Safety requirements and Test Methods.; Other  G/TBT/N/PAK/138
