Summary
In this subject, student will meet statutory legislative, basic regulations and directions to providing of safe operation, service and manipulating with electric device, including statutary precaution to put electric products into market, assessment of product agreement, assignment of risk in safe operation of electric devices. The introduction with the basic electrical rules and regulation in medical branch like EN 60364-7-710, EN 62353 and EN 60601-1 is achieved due to specific requirements of the field of study in this subject.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
1. Students will be defined the actual wording of the chosen prespripts and rules valid in electrical engineering, and to the conditions of placing the new products on the market and the essences of safety technics of machinery.

2. The extra emphasis is given on the acquaintance with the technical and organisational rules for reaching the safe operation of the electrical devices, understanding the function and principle of the protection against electric shock and the precautions leading to safeguard the safety operation of the electrical devices

3. Students will be able to explain the wording of the prescripts and standards in electrical engineering and the classification of measures against electric shock.

4. Students will be acquainted with the electrical wiring rules in the rooms for medical use according to CSN 33 2140, TNI 33 2140 (HD 60364-7-710).
