All Clauses and their subclauses, all Annexes, their Clauses and subclauses, and Bibliography of IEC 61010-1:2010, IEC 61010-1:2010/AMD1:2016 and IEC 61010-1:2010/AMD2:—2 apply except as follows.
1 Scope and object
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 HAND-HELD and hand-manipulated current sensors intended for measuring, detecting or injecting current, or indicating current waveforms on circuits without physically opening the current path of the circuit being measured.
These current sensors are hand-manipulated before and/or after a test or measurement, but are not necessarily HAND-HELD during the test or measurement. They can be stand-alone current sensors or accessories to other equipment or parts of combined equipment. These include measurement circuits which are part of electrical test and measurement equipment, laboratory
equipment, or process control equipment.
NOTE 1 Combined equipment is equipment that is electrically connected to a current sensor by means of a permanent connection which can be detached only by the use of a TOOL.
NOTE 2 Some current sensors are also known as current clamps, CLAMP MULTIMETERS and current probes.
The types of current sensors covered by this document are defined in Annex GG.
1.1.2 Equipment excluded from scope
Add the following new paragraph at the end of 1.1.2:
This document does not apply to current sensors used as FIXED EQUIPMENT.
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 current sensor (see Clause 9);
h) HAZARDS related to the use and REASONABLY FORESEEABLE MISUSE of the current sensor (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).
