IEC 60601-2-54: radiography and radioscopy (X-ray)

In plain words

What it covers.

The particular standard for X-ray equipment for radiography and fluoroscopy. It covers the accuracy of tube voltage and exposure, the reproducibility of output, the beam quality (filtration, half-value layer), collimation and the light field, and the dose display. National regulations (for example the UK IRR17 and IR(ME)R, or US 21 CFR 1020) add the legal limits and the quality assurance programme.

A summary written by BMEssentia for learning, not the text of the standard. Always work from the current official edition and the manufacturer's instructions.
