Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use - Part 2-033: Particular requirements for hand-held multimeters and other meters, for domestic and professional use, capable of measuring mains voltage

IEC 61010-2-033:2012 specifies safety requirements for METERS. The METERS that have a primary purpose of measuring voltage on a live MAINS CIRCUIT are within the scope of this standard. They have various names, but all of them have capability for measurements of voltages on a live MAINS CIRCUIT. Some of the names given to this equipment are as follows: - MULTIMETER; - digital MULTIMETER; - VOLTMETER; - clamp METER (see also Part 2-032). For the purpose of this standard, the term METER is used for these HAND-HELD measuring instruments.

Règles de sécurité pour appareils électriques de mesurage, de régulation et de laboratoire - Partie 2-033: Exigences particulières pour les multimètres portatifs et autres mesureurs, pour usage domestique et professionnel, capables de mesurer la tension réseau

La CEI 61010-2-033:2012 spécifie les exigences de sécurité pour les MESUREURS. Les MESUREURS qui ont pour objectif principal de mesurer la tension d'un CIRCUIT RESEAU sous tension sont dans le domaine d'application de cette norme. Ils ont des noms différents, mais tous ont la capacité de mesurer la tension d'un CIRCUIT RESEAU. Quelques-uns des noms donnés à ces appareils sont les suivants: - MULTIMETRE; - MULTIMETRE numérique; - VOLTMETRE; - pince MULTIMETRE (voir aussi la Partie 2-032). Aux fins de la présente norme, le terme MESUREUR est utilisé pour ces appareils de mesure PORTATIFS.

Varnostne zahteve za električno opremo za meritve, nadzorovanje in laboratorijsko uporabo - 2-033. del: Posebne zahteve za ročne multimetre in druge ročne merilnike za domačo in profesionalno uporabo, ki omogočajo merjenje omrežne napetosti (IEC 61010-2-033:2012)

Ta točka 1. dela se uporablja, razen kot sledi: 1.1.1 Oprema, zajeta v področje uporabe Nadomestilo: Obstoječe besedilo se zamenja z naslednjim: Ta del standarda IEC 61010 določa varnostne zahteve za MERILNIKE. MERILNIKI z glavnim namenom merjenja napetosti OMREŽNEGA TOKOKROGA pod napetostjo spadajo v področje uporabe tega standarda. Čeprav imajo različne nazive, se z vsemi merilniki lahko meri napetost OMREŽNEGA TOKOKROGA pod napetostjo. Med nazive za to opremo spadajo: – MULTIMETER, – digitalni MULTIMETER, – VOLTMETER, kleščni MERILNIK (glejte tudi 2-032. del). Izraz MERILNIK se za namene tega standarda uporablja za te ROČNE merilne instrumente. OPOMBA: Za dele opreme, ki ne spadajo v področje uporabe 2-033. dela, se šteje, da so zajeti v zahtevah 1. dela ali drugih 2. delov standarda IEC 61010, poleg tega bodo morali izpolnjevati tudi zahteve drugih delov. 1.1.2 Oprema, izključena iz področja uporabe Dodatek: Na seznam se doda naslednji novi element: aa) standard IEC 61557 (Električna varnost v nizkonapetostnih razdelilnih sistemih izmenične napetosti do 1 kV in enosmerne napetosti do 1,5 kV – Oprema za preskušanje, merjenje ali nadzorovanje zaščitnih ukrepov – 1. do 12. del). Dodatek: Za točko se dodata naslednja odstavka: Oprema, ki ne omogoča merjenja OMREŽNE napetosti, ne spada v področje uporabe 2-033.dela. Zahteve v zvezi s takšno opremo so navedene v standardu IEC 61010-2-030. 61010-2-033 ? IEC:2012 – 7 – Takšna oprema, vključno z drugo ROČNO opremo, kot so osciloskopi, vatmetri, MULTIMETRI za kontrolo procesa in oprema za preskušanje komunikacij, ne spada v področje uporabe 2-033. dela. 1.2.1 Vidiki, zajeti v področje uporabe Dodatek: Za točko se doda naslednji odstavek: Zahteve za zaščito pred NEVARNOSTMI, ki izhajajo iz OBIČAJNE UPORABE in RAZUMNO PREDVIDENE NEPRAVILNE UPORABE merilnih vezij, so navedene v točki 101.

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
Commit
