NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1) which is identical with IEC81060-1 : 2007 ‘Non-invasive sphygmomanometers — Part 1: Requirements and test methods for non-automated measurement type’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Anaesthetic, Resuscitation and Allied equipment Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.

This standard is published in two parts. The other part of the standard is:

Part 2 Clinical investigation of automated measurement type

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in the Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
