Overview

EN IEC 61010-2-130:2021 (IEC 61010-2-130:2021) specifies particular safety requirements for electrical measurement, control and laboratory equipment intended to be used in educational establishments by children. It covers equipment types (a, b or c) and their accessories used by pupil operators aged from 3 years up to 16 years, under supervision of a responsible body. This first edition replaces IEC TS 62850 (2013) and introduces significant technical changes, notably to marking and documentation and stability and handling requirements.

Key topics and technical requirements

The standard focuses on reducing risks when children use electrical and laboratory equipment in schools and similar settings. Major topics include:

• Scope and object: defined age ranges, supervised use and types of covered equipment.
• Tests and verification: procedures to validate compliance under expected use.
• Marking and documentation: safety information, user instructions and identification for supervised child use.
• Protection against electric shock: construction and insulation safeguards.
• Mechanical hazards and stability: requirements to prevent crushing, entrapment and tip-over for small users.
• Resistance to mechanical stress and environmental influences.
• Protection against fire, heat and surface temperature limits (tables for normal conditions).
• Protection against fluids, solid foreign objects, radiation (including lasers), sonic/ultrasonic pressure and hazardous substances.
• Components, subassemblies and interlocks: design and safety of internal parts and protective devices.
• Application hazards and risk assessment: guidance for identifying and mitigating foreseeable risks.
• Normative and informative annexes (e.g., test probes, defined terms, relationship to EU Low Voltage Directive).

The published standard contains detailed tables and figures (for example, gaps and safety distances for different age groups, surface temperature limits and test probe specifications).

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
FOR MEASUREMENT, CONTROL, AND LABORATORY USE –

Part 2-130: Particular requirements for equipment intended
to be used in educational establishments by children

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 to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61010-2-130 has been prepared by IEC Technical Committee 66:
Safety of measuring, control and laboratory equipment.
This first edition cancels and replaces IEC TS 62850, published in 2013.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC TS 62850:
a) marking and documentation requirements;
b) stability and handling requirements.

INTRODUCTION
This document specifies particular safety requirements for equipment and accessories
intended to be used in educational establishment by PUPIL OPERATORS. PUPIL OPERATORS are
for the sake of this document, children between the ages of 3 years and 16 years operating
electrical equipment under supervision of a RESPONSIBLE BODY.
Equipment and accessories are considered intended for use in educational establishments,
when it is either explicitly stated in accompanying documentation, or where sales and
marketing materials indicate such intended use. This does not limit the use of other
equipment for use in educational establishments, however equipment and accessories not
evaluated to the requirements of this document may need additional precautions and
attestation when used by PUPIL OPERATORS.
Readily predictable behaviour of PUPIL OPERATORS can include poking objects and materials
associated with equipment and accessories, which poses additional challenges for
determination of reasonably foreseeable misuse. Consequently, more stringent criteria for
access to potentially hazardous parts are required for educational establishment equipment
than for general laboratory use.
Moreover, the maximum temperatures of parts that may be touched by children should be
lower than for equipment handled only by adults. Ergonomic considerations and mechanical
risks need to be addressed with regard to the anthropomorphic dimensions of children instead
of adults.
This document includes the following significant changes with respect to Part 1, as well as
other changes:
a) a marking is added to indicate to the RESPONSIBLE BODY that the equipment is intended to
be used by PUPIL OPERATORS under supervision;
b) accessibility requirements are enhanced to take into account the propensity of children to
insert foreign objects wherever they can;
c) temperature limits have been decreased to take into account the greater sensitivity of a
child's skin;
d) mechanical access dimensions have been reduced to take into account the smaller
dimensions of a child's body;
e) limits for non-collimated optical radiation have been introduced;
f) limits for ionizing radiation have been reduced;
g) small detachable parts below certain dimensions have been prohibited;
h) manufacturers are required to consider the general unpredictability of the behaviour of
PUPIL OPERATORS.
