This European Standard provides the procedure for the specific assessment required in Annex A of EN 50527 1:2015 for workers with implanted cardioverter defibrillators. It offers different approaches for doing the risk assessment. The most suitable one shall be used. If the worker has other Active Implantable Medical Devices (AIMDs) implanted additionally, they have to be assessed separately.
