Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - Part 2-012: Particular requirements for climatic and environmental testing and other temperature conditioning equipment

IEC 61010-2-012:2016 specifies safety requirements for electrical equipment and their accessories within the categories a) through c), wherever they are intended to be used, whenever that equipment incorporates one or more of the following characteristics: - A REFRIGERATING SYSTEM that is acted on or impacted by an integral heating function such that the combined heating and cooling system generates additional and/or more severe HAZARDS than those for the two systems if treated separately. - The materials being treated in the intended application introduce significant heat into the REFRIGERATING SYSTEM that the cooling system in the application yield additional and/or more severe HAZARDS than those for the cooling system if operated at the maximum RATED ambient alone. - An irradiation function for the materials being treated presenting additional HAZARDS. - A function to expose the materials being treated to excessive humidity, carbon dioxide, salt mist, or other substances which may result in additional HAZARDS. - A function of MECHANICAL MOVEMENT presenting additional HAZARDS. - Provision for an OPERATOR to walk-in to the operating area to load or unload the materials being treated. It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104. This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61010-1:2010.

Sicherheitsbestimmungen für elektrische Mess-, Steuer-, Regel- und Laborgeräte - Teil 2-012: Besondere Anforderungen an Klima- und Umwelttestgeräte und andere Temperatur-Konditionierungsgeräte

Règles de sécurité pour appareils électriques de mesurage, de régulation et de laboratoire - Partie 2-012: Exigences particulières pour les appareils d'essais climatiques et d'environnement, et autres appareils de conditionnement de température

L'IEC 61010-2-012:2016 spécifie les exigences de sécurité pour les appareils électriques et leurs accessoires relevant des catégories a) à c) quelle que soit l'utilisation à laquelle ils sont destinés, lorsque ces appareils comprennent une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes: - Un SYSTEME FRIGORIFIQUE affecté ou influencé par une fonction de chauffage intégrée de sorte que le système de chauffage et de refroidissement combiné engendre des DANGERS supplémentaires et/ou plus graves que ceux pour les deux systèmes s'ils sont traités séparément. - Les matières traitées dans l'application prévue génèrent une chaleur importante dans le SYSTEME FRIGORIFIQUE, de sorte que le système de refroidissement dans l'application engendre des DANGERS supplémentaires et/ou plus graves que ceux pour le système de refroidissement dans le cas où il est utilisé seul à la température ambiante ASSIGNEE maximale. - Une fonction d'exposition aux rayonnements pour les matières traitées qui présentent des DANGERS supplémentaires. - Une fonction dédiée à l'exposition des matières traitées à une humidité excessive, au dioxyde de carbone, au brouillard salin ou à d'autres substances qui peuvent engendrer des DANGERS supplémentaires. - Une fonction de MOUVEMENT MECANIQUE qui présente des DANGERS supplémentaires. - Un dispositif qui permet le déplacement de l'OPERATEUR vers la zone de manoeuvre afin de charger ou décharger les matières traitées. Elle a le statut d'une publication groupée de sécurité conformément au Guide IEC 104. Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec la IEC 61010-1:2010

Varnostne zahteve za električno opremo za meritve, nadzor in laboratorijsko uporabo - 2-012. del: Posebne zahteve za opremo za klimatska in okoljska preskušanja ter drugo opremo za uravnavanje temperature (IEC 61010-2-012:2016)

Ta publikacija skupinske varnosti se uporablja predvsem kot standard o varnosti izdelka za izdelke, ki so omenjeni v okviru publikacije, vendar je namenjena tudi tehničnim odborom pri pripravi publikacij za izdelke, ki so podobni izdelkom, omenjenim v okviru tega standarda, skladno z načeli vodil IEC 104 in ISO/IEC 51
2. del standarda IEC 61010 določa varnostne zahteve za električno opremo in njene dodatke v kategorijah od a) do c), kadar so namenjeni uporabi z opremo z eno ali več spodaj navedenimi lastnostmi:
– HLADILNIM SISTEMOM, ki ga upravlja ali nanj vpliva vgrajena grelna funkcija tako, da skupni grelno-hladilni sistem ustvarja dodatne in/ali večje NEVARNOSTI, kot če bi bila sistema neodvisna;
– materiali, ki se obdelujejo pri namenski uporabi, vpeljejo znatno količino toplote v HLADILNI SISTEM, tako da hladilni sistem pri taki uporabi ustvarja dodatne in/ali večje NEVARNOSTI, kot če bi deloval le pri največji NAZIVNI temperaturi;
– funkcijo obsevanja obdelovanih materialov, ki predstavlja dodatne NEVARNOSTI;
– funkcijo, ki obdelovane materiale izpostavlja prekomerni vlažnosti, ogljikovemu dioksidu,
slani megli ali drugim snovem, ki lahko povzročijo dodatne NEVARNOSTI;
– funkcijo MEHANSKEGA GIBANJA, ki predstavlja dodatne NEVARNOSTI;
– določbo, ki UPRAVLJAVCU dovoljuje, da vstopi na območje delovanja, da naloži ali razloži obdelovane materiale.
