CAN/CSA-C22.2 NO. 61010-1-12 - Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use - Part 1: General requirements (Tri-national standard, with UL 61010-1 and ANSI/ISA-61010-1 (82.02.01)
Preface
This is the harmonized CSA, ISA, and UL standard for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use. It is the third edition of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1, the third edition of ANSI/ISA-61010-1 (82.02.01), and the third edition of UL 61010-1. This edition of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1 supersedes the previous edition published as CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1 in 2004. This edition of ANSI/ISA-61010-1 (82.02.01) supersedes the previous edition of ISA-82.02.01 published in 2004. This edition of UL 61010-1 will supersede the second edition of UL 61010-1 published in 2004. This standard is based on IEC 61010-1, third edition.1 Scope and object
1.1 Scope 1.1.1 Equipment included in scope This part of IEC 61010 specifies general safety requirements for the following types of electrical equipment and their accessories, wherever they are intended to be used. a) Electrical test and measurement equipment- This is equipment which by electromagnetic means tests, measures, indicates or records one or more electrical or physical quantities, also non-measuring equipment such as signal generators, measurement standards, power supplies for laboratory use, transducers, transmitters, etc. NOTE 1 This includes bench-top power supplies intended to aid a testing or measuring operation on another piece of equipment. Power supplies intended to power equipment are within the scope of IEC 61558 (see 1.1.2 h)). This standard also applies to test equipment integrated into manufacturing processes and intended for testing manufactured devices. NOTE 2 Manufacturing test equipment is likely to be installed adjacent to and interconnected with industrial machinery in this application.
- This is equipment which controls one or more output quantities to specific values, with each value determined by manual setting, by local or remote programming, or by one or more input variables.
- This is equipment which measures, indicates, monitors, inspects or analyses materials, or is used to prepare materials, and includes in vitro diagnostic (IVD) equipment. This equipment may also be used in areas other than laboratories; examples include self-test IVD equipment to be used in the home and inspection equipment to be used to check people or material during transportation.
- a) IEC 60065 (Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus); b) IEC 60204 (Safety of machinery - Electrical equipment of machines); c) IEC 60335 (Household and similar electrical appliances); d) IEC 60364 (Electrical installations of buildings); e) IEC 60439 (Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies); f) IEC 60601 (Medical electrical equipment); g) IEC 60950 (Information technology equipment including electrical business equipment, except as specified in 1.1.3); h) IEC 61558 (Power transformers, power supply units and similar); i) IEC 61010-031 (Hand-held probe assemblies); j) IEC 61243-3 (Live working - Voltage detectors - Part 3: Two-pole low-voltage type).
- 1.1.4DV DR Addition of the following referencing the National Electrical Code and the Canadian Electrical Code: This standard applies to equipment:
- a) To be employed in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70, National Electrical Code« (NEC); b) Designed to comply with the general requirements of CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 0 and to be installed in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part I, CSA C22.1; or c) Both (a) and (b).
- a) electric shock or burn (see Clause 6); b) mechanical HAZARDS (see Clauses 7 and 8); c) spread of fire from the equipment (see Clause 9); d) excessive temperature (see Clause 10); e) effects of fluids and fluid pressure (see Clause 11); f) effects of radiation, including lasers sources, and sonic and ultrasonic pressure (see Clause 12); g) liberated gases, explosion and implosion (see Clause 13).
- NOTE 1 These levels of transient overvoltage are typical for equipment supplied from the building wiring.
d) relative humidity above the levels specified in 1.4.1; e) MAINS supply voltage fluctuations exceeding 10 % of the nominal voltage; f) WET LOCATION; g) TRANSIENT OVERVOLTAGES up to the levels of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III or IV (see Annex K).
