IEC 62570:2025 applies to medical devices and other items that are anticipated to enter the magnetic resonance (MR) environment.
This document specifies the marking of items anticipated to enter the MR environment by means of terms and icons, and recommends information that should be included in the labeling.
MR image artifacts are not in the scope of the mandatory portions of this practice because they do not present a direct safety issue resulting from specific characteristics of the MR examination.
