Overview

EN IEC 61010-2-061:2021/A11:2021 is a CENELEC amendment to the European safety standard for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - specifically Part 2-061, which defines particular safety requirements for laboratory atomic spectrometers with thermal atomization and ionization. This amendment (A11, issued Sept 2021) updates normative references, clarifies protection and marking requirements, and adds EU relationship annexes (ZA, ZZ) to support conformity with the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU).

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Safety requirements for laboratory atomic spectrometers using thermal atomization/ionization, intended to guide design, testing and installation.
• New normative references: Adds IEC 62061 and ISO 13849‑1/2 for functional safety and interlock validation, aligning machine-safety principles with laboratory equipment safety.
• Sampling probe safety: Systems that withdraw probe tips must fail-safe - probes must remain in the most exposed position when a sample vessel is removed unless designed so a SINGLE FAULT cannot leave the tip exposed.
• Gas and liquid connections: Connectors must be clearly marked adjacent to the equipment with identity, maximum permitted pressure and flow direction; marking may be specific (e.g., acetylene) or generic (e.g., fuel gas).
• Fume extraction and exhaust: Installation requirements now explicitly include fume extraction to remove potentially hazardous exhaust gases (see clause 13.1).
• Test provisions: Clarifies mechanical/test exceptions for fixed equipment and equipment >100 kg; equipment is not operated during specific mechanical tests.
• Protection against hot gases/plasma: Requires protective structures (e.g., chimneys) to prevent unintentional access to hot gases/plasma; surfaces in contact with such gases must be marked.
• Interlock and SIL/PL conformity: If IEC 62061 or ISO 13849‑1 is used, conformity is checked via the manufacturer’s SIL/PL determination and validation documentation; certified components/systems need not be separately validated.
• Administrative updates: Annex A renamed Annex F; adds Annex ZA (normative cross‑references to EN standards) and Annex ZZ (relationship to EU safety objectives).

Applications and users

Who uses this standard:

• Manufacturers and designers of laboratory atomic spectrometers (thermal atomizers, ionizers)
• Compliance and safety engineers performing risk assessments, machine safety and functional-safety integration
• Test laboratories and notified bodies validating conformity for CE marking under the Low Voltage Directive
• Laboratory managers and installers implementing safe installation, gas connections and fume extraction

Practical uses:

• Design verification to prevent operator exposure to hot gases, plasma or hazardous emissions
• Specifying interlock architecture and documenting SIL/PL validation per IEC 62061 / ISO 13849
• Labeling gas/liquid connectors and defining installation/fume-extraction requirements
• Demonstrating conformity to EU directives using harmonized standard clauses

Related standards

• IEC 62061 - Functional safety of safety-related electrical/electronic/programmable control systems
• ISO 13849‑1 / ISO 13849‑2 - Safety-related parts of control systems (design and validation)
• EN IEC 61010-1 - General safety requirements for laboratory and measurement equipment
