Classification of electrical installations in healthcare facilities according to reliability and availability of supply

While the IEC standard for electrical installations covers safety aspects, healthcare professionals highlighted the need for a detailed assessment of the availability level of the facility power supply and the adequate performance of the electrical installation.

Leonardo ENERGY is pleased to introduce a new classification scheme for healthcare facilities in this discussion paper (open to comments from registered users). This classification scheme is based on two new concepts:

  • the resilience of equipment to power quality disturbances (REL);
  • the patient's quality of life (LQ).

Thanks to this innovative classification, healthcare facilities managers and professionals now have a tool to appropriately design their installations, taking into account each medical room's use to ensure the best service to their patients.
