They also provide specific requirements for medical equipment electrical safety inspections, ensuring safe operation and preventing hazards. Relocatable Power Taps (RPTs) are permitted on patient care medical equipment when permanently attached, meeting UL requirements. Compliance with NFPA standards is essential for healthcare facilities to ensure patient and staff safety.
