IEC 60601-1-2:2014, 4th edition, references CISPR 11:2010 (a.k.a. EN 55011), had no radiated rf emissions requirements for group 2 devices (intentional radiators) between 150kHz and 30 MHz. This is the basis for all group 2 medical devices on the market today.
IEC 60601-1-2:2020, edition 4.1, got fast tracked by the FDA since it contains new immunity tests (table 11 – RFID requirements based on AIM 735131 standard values) that they want manufacturers to do immediately. In that 2020 standard, 60601-1-2 references CISPR 11:2015 + A1:2016 + A2:2019 version that inherits a new group 2 only RF radiated emissions test with limits that apply for 150kHz – 30 MHz.
