This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - adaptation of changes introduced by Amendment 1 of IEC 61010-1; - added tolerance for stability of AC voltage test equipment to Clause 6. This Part 2-101 is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 61010-1. It was established on the basis of the third edition (2010) and its Amendment 1 (2016).
IEC 61010-2-201 Ed. 2.0 b:2017
Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use - Part 2-201: Particular requirements for control equipment
IEC 61010-2-201:2017 specifies safety requirements and related verification tests for any product performing the function of control equipment and/or their associated peripherals. In addition, these products have as their intended use the command and control of machines, automated manufacturing and industrial processes, e.g. discrete and continuous control. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This second edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition; a) clarify, change, delete definitions which were causing confusion, b) change and clarify the temperature testing methodology, c) change documentation methodologies allowed, d) change some terminal markings, e) add clarity to some of the informative annexes, f) add Annex E with changes, g) add Annexes AA FF.
IEC 61326-3-1 Ed. 2.0 b:2017
Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - EMC requirements – Part 3-1: Immunity requirements for safety-related systems and for equipment intended to perform safety-related functions (functional safety) – General industrial applications
IEC 61326-3-1:2017 covers all equipment within the scope of IEC 61326-1, but is limited to systems and equipment for industrial applications intended to perform safety functions as defined in IEC 61508 with SIL 1-3. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - extension of the frequency range up to 6 GHz for the radio-frequency electromagnetic field test according to IEC 61000-4-3, - replacement of the performance criterion FS with DS according to the generic standard IEC 61000-6-7, - adding Table 1 - Aspects to be considered during application of performance criterion DS, - including immunity tests for devices with current consumption 16 A according to IEC 61000-4-34, - updating Table 8 - Frequency ranges of mobile transmitters and ISM equipment, - updating Figure A.1 and Figure 1 for better readability.
IEC 61326-3-2 Ed. 2.0 b:2017
