CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 61010-1A-2012

Amendment 1:2018 to CAN/CSA-C22.2 NO. 61010-1-12, Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use - Part 1: General requirements

Preface This is the harmonized CSA Group, ISA, and UL standard for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use – Part 1: General Requirements. 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 harmonized standard has been jointly revised on July 19, 2019. For this purpose, CSA Group and UL are issuing revision pages dated July 19, 2019, and ISA is issuing the changes to the edition dated July 19, 2019.   This harmonized standard is based on IEC Publication 61010-1: third edition Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use – Part 1: General requirements issued June, 2010, as revised by IEC Corrigendum 1 issued May 2011, and AMD1 issued December 2016, and Corrigendum 1 to AMD1 issued March 2019. IEC publication 61010-1 is copyrighted by the IEC.   This harmonized standard was prepared by the CSA Group, the International Society of Automation (ISA), and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the standard.   This standard was reviewed by the CSA Subcommittee on Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Consumer and Commercial Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSA Technical Committee. This standard has been approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC). This standard has been approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an American National Standard.    1 Scope and object 1.1 Scope 1.1.1 Equipment included in scope This group safety publication is primarily intended to be used as a product safety standard for the products mentioned in the scope, but shall also be used by technical committees in the preparation of their publications for products similar to those mentioned in the scope of this standard, in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51.     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.     b) Electrical industrial process-control equipment   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.     c) Electrical laboratory equipment   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.
