Summary
BMUS Safety Group. See www.bmus.org.
The British Standards Institution (BSI) acts as the focus for the UK's input to the international standards scene. Committees within BSI mirror those within IEC and CENELEC. The particular committees are:
BSI Committee EPL/87 mirrors IEC Technical Committee 87: Ultrasonics.
BSI Committee CH/111 mirrors the diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound aspects of IEC Technical Committees TC 62, SC 62B and SC 62D which deal with electrical equipment in medical practice.
European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology. EFSUMB has a standing safety committee, the European Committee for Medical Ultrasound Safety (ECMUS). A Clinical Safety Statement, safety tutorials and literature reviews are available freely from the EFSUMB web site: www.efsumb.org.
