Purpose
This Technical Report provides guidance on implementing
RESPONSIBILITY AGREEMENTS, which are described in IEC 80001-1 as

stakeholders engaged in the incorporation of a MEDICAL DEVICE into
an IT-NETWORK in order to support compliance to IEC 80001-1.
Stakeholders may include RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATIONS, IT suppliers,
MEDICAL DEVICE manufacturers and others. The goal of the
RESPONSIBILITY AGREEMENT is that these roles and responsibilities
should cover the complete lifecycle of the resulting MEDICAL
ITNETWORK.
