Overview
EN 61557-10:2013 (identical to IEC 61557-10:2013) specifies safety and performance requirements for combined measuring equipment used in testing, measuring or monitoring protective measures in low-voltage distribution systems (up to 1 000 V a.c. and 1 500 V d.c.). It defines how multifunction testers - devices that combine several measurement functions from other IEC 61557 parts - must be designed, marked and tested so no additional hazard arises when functions or terminals are used in combination. This edition (2013) replaces the 2001 edition and is a technical revision.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and definitions
- Applies to equipment that integrates multiple functions from IEC/EN 61557 parts (e.g., insulation resistance, loop impedance, earth resistance, RCD testing, phase sequence).
- Defines “combined measuring equipment” and related terms.
- Safety under combined operation
- Devices must remain safe when extraneous overvoltages (accidental or test voltages) are applied across any combination of terminals and functions.
- Extraneous overvoltage withstand capability examples given (see standard): e.g., 1.2 × UN for specified durations, 1.2 × U0 continuous, and specified phase-to-phase overvoltage conditions.
- Marking, pictograms and instructions
- Clear marking and operating instructions are required so users can identify test terminals and safe operating modes.
- Testing and verification
- Requirements for type and routine tests to verify insulation, overvoltage withstand and correct operation when combining functions.
- Conformance
- To be used in conjunction with EN/IEC 61557-1 (general requirements) and the relevant part(s) for each measuring function.
Applications and users
- Practical use cases:
- Design, manufacture and certification of multifunction electrical testers (combined measuring equipment).
- On-site electrical safety testing and commissioning in residential, commercial and industrial low-voltage systems.
- Periodic inspection, maintenance and verification of protective measures (earth resistance, loop impedance, RCD performance, insulation).
- Typical users:
- Test equipment manufacturers and product designers
- Electrical installers, safety inspectors and maintenance engineers
- Certification bodies and compliance assessors
- Procurement teams specifying multifunction test instruments
Related standards
- EN/IEC 61557-1 (General requirements)
- EN/IEC 61557-2 to EN/IEC 61557-7 (Insulation, loop impedance, bonding, earth resistance, RCDs, phase sequence)

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order
