IEC 61010-2-051:2015

Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - Part 2-051: Particular requirements for laboratory equipment for mixing and stirring

IEC 61010-2-051:2015 is applicable to electrically operated laboratory equipment and its accessories for mechanical mixing and stirring, where mechanical energy influences the shape or size or homogeneity of materials and their accessories. Such devices may contain heating elements. It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2003. It constitutes a technical revision and includes the following change from the second edition:
- exclusion of equipment, whose size and weight make unintentional movement unlikely, from the drop test in Clause 8,
- added requirement for interlock systems containing electric/electronic or programmable components to Clause 15,
- notes have been re-phrased according to ISO/IEC Directives.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61010-1:2010.

Règles de sécurité pour appareils électriques de mesurage, de régulation et de laboratoire - Partie 2-051: Exigences particulières pour appareils de laboratoire utilisés pour mixer et agiter

L'IEC 61010-2-051:2015 est applicable aux appareils de laboratoire électriques et à leurs accessoires, destinés à mélanger et à agiter, et qui, par l'énergie mécanique dispensée, modifient la forme, la taille ou l'homogénéité des matériaux et de leurs accessoires. De tels appareils peuvent contenir des éléments de chauffage. Elle a le statut d'une publication groupée de sécurité conformément au Guide IEC 104. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2003. Cette édition constitue une révision technique et inclut les modifications suivantes par rapport à la deuxième édition:
- exclusion des appareils dont la taille et le poids rendent peu probables les mouvements involontaires, de l'essai de chute à l'Article 8,
- ajout de l'exigence à l'Article 15, pour les systèmes de verrouillage contenant des composants électriques/électroniques ou programmables,
- reformulation des notes selon les Directives ISO/IEC.
Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec la CEI 61010-1:2010.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

FOR MEASUREMENT, CONTROL, AND LABORATORY USE –

Part 2-051: Particular requirements for laboratory

equipment for mixing and stirring

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 61010-2-051 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 66:
Safety of measuring, control and laboratory equipment.
It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2003. It constitutes a
technical revision and includes the following change from the second edition:
• exclusion of equipment, whose size and weight make unintentional movement unlikely,
from the drop test in Clause 8,
• added requirement for interlock systems containing electric/electronic or programmable
components to Clause 15,
• notes have been re-phrased according to ISO/IEC Directives.
