This Part of EN 12470 specifies the metrological and technical requirements for clinical infra-red (IR) ear
thermometers with maximum device for intermittent determination of human body temperature.
This European Standard applies to devices that when taking temperatures are powered by a power supply either
internal or by mains and that provide an indication of the subjects body temperature through measurement of
thermal radiation from all or part of the ear canal.
NOTE Devices designed to measure tympanic membrane temperature only are also covered by this standard.
Diese ÖNORM legt Anforderungen fest an klinische Infrarot-Ohrthermometer für die Bestimmung der Körpertemperatur des Menschen. Betroffen sind Produkte, die mit interner oder externer Energieversorgung, die die Körpertemperatur mittels Messung der Wärmestrahlung im Gehörgang anzeigen.
