Yes, HBN 06-01 is a very useful document (if only for its glossary of modern terminology); I believe it should be included - or at least "touched upon" (referred to) - at some stage in every biomed training course (in the UK, at least).

In fact, all of the HTMs are much improved these days.... as indeed are the HBNs.

Lastly, someone (a member of the forum) has asked if I have a copy of the old HTM-8* in .pdf - presumably for "historical research" or some such thing. Sadly, I don't have it (not even in hard copy any more). Can anyone help?

* "Safety Code for Electro-Medical Apparatus" (from the 1960's)


If you don't inspect ... don't expect.
