Durability of Markings IEC 60601-1 requires that both internal and external markings be clearly legible and that all required external markings be durable. IEC 60601-1 specifies rubbing external markings with water, methylated spirit, and isopropyl alcohol. Using a cloth rag, each substance is to be rubbed on the external marking for 15 seconds. The test requirements include verifying that the external markings are clearly legible and that labels do not fall off or curl after the rub treatments.
