Clinical thermometers - Part 5: Performance of infra-red ear thermometers (with maximum device)

Scope

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 subject's 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.
