Scope
YY/T 1993-2025 is the English-translated version of 采用机器人技术的辅助手术设备可靠性验证方法.
YY/T 1993 answers a question every surgical robot maker eventually faces in China: how do you prove the machine keeps working. It describes the pathways and the methods for carrying out reliability verification on robotically assisted surgical equipment, referred to throughout by the abbreviation RASE. Reliability here is not a single test but a route: how the verification is planned, what evidence counts, and which methods are appropriate for equipment whose failure happens in an operating theatre. It sits alongside the usability standard YY/T 1992 and the vascular interventional control system standard YY/T 1994, all issued on the same day, which together form the current Chinese framework for surgical robotics. For a manufacturer preparing an NMPA submission, this is the document the reliability section of the technical file has to answer to.
