1 Scope and object
1.1 Scope
1.1.1 Equipment included in scope
Replace the existing text of 1.1.1 with the following new text:
This part of IEC 61010 specifies safety requirements for equipment having testing or measuring circuits which are connected for test or measurement purposes to devices or circuits outside the measurement equipment itself.
These include testing or measuring circuits which are part of electrical test and measurement equipment, laboratory equipment, or process control equipment. These circuits in equipment have additional protective means between the circuit and an OPERATOR.
NOTE These testing and measuring circuits can, f or example:
– measure voltages in circuits of other equipment;
– measure temperature of a separate device via a thermocouple;
– measure f orce on a separate device via a strain gauge;
– inject a voltage or current onto a circuit to analyse or test a new design.
This group safety publication focusing on safety essential requirements is primarily intended to be used as a product safety standard for the products mentioned in the scope, but is also intended to be used by technical committees in the preparation of publications for products similar to those mentioned in the scope of this document, in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and lSO/lEC Guide 51.
One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications and/or group safety publications in the preparation of its publications.
1.2 Aspects
1.2.1 Aspects included in scope
Replace item c) and item h) from the list of the second paragraph of 1.2.1 with the following new item c) and item h):
c) spread of fire or arc flash from the equipment (see Clause 9);
h) HAZARDS related to the use and REASONABLY FORESEEABLE MISUSE of the equipment (see Clause 16 and Annex BB).
Insert the following new paragraph bet ween the third paragraph and the NOTE of 1.2.1:
Annex BB and Annex CC provide guidance to equipment manufacturers on HAZARDS that should be considered for equipment intended for performing tests and measurements on hazardous conductors, including MAINS conductors and telecommunication network conductors.
1.2.2 Aspects excluded from scope
Add a new item aa) after item h) of the list of 1.2.2:
aa) HAZARDS related to the use by pupil OPERATORS in educational establishments (see IEC 61010-2-130).
