SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

Particular requirements for dry heat sterilizers using either hot air

and for laboratory processes
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected
data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for
example “state of the art”.
Technical reports do not necessarily have to be reviewed until the data they provide are
considered to be no longer valid or useful.
IEC 61010-3-043, which is a technical report, has been prepared by IEC technical com-
mittee 66: Safety of measuring, control, and laboratory equipment.
The text of this technical report is based on the following documents:
Committee draft Report on voting
66/223/CDV 66/230/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table.

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
This report is a Technical Report and is of a purely informative nature and is therefore by itself
not to be regarded as an International Standard. It is for use by test houses and other users to
assist them with determining and recording verification of conformity of the equipment under
test with the requirements of:
IEC 61010-2-043: 1997
and
      IEC 61010-1:1990 + amendment 1:1992 + amendment 2:1995
The protocol for completion of this report is contained in publication IEC 61010-3:1997.
The IEC sells read-only PDF files as a general rule. In the present instance, and quite
exceptionally, to enable the user to fill in the forms, a revisable file is included in a pocket
affixed to the back cover of this publication.
This file can also be downloaded from the Web as a PDF file. There is, however, at the end of
the document, a revisable file containing the forms. Please use the zip/unzip function.
A bilingual version will not be issued.
A French version may be issued.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged
until 2004. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

         F an internal capacitor (see Form A.7)
d) Accessory mains socket outlets:
– if a standard mains plug is accepted,
there is a marking (see 5.1.3e)
– input has a protective earth conductor if
TERMINAL
outlet has earth contact
6.10.101 Connection of non-detachable mains
cords to TERMINALS
Flexible cables or cords attached to
TERMINAL blocks:
– no special preparation of conductor
required
– designed and positioned so that
conductor does not slip out
6.11 TERMINALS
6.11.1 ACCESSIBLE TERMINALS
a) No risk of accidental contact
(see also 5.1.6c)
b) Will not work loose
6.11.2 PROTECTIVE CONDUCTOR TERMINAL
a) Appliance inlet (no requirement)
b) For rewirable cords and PERMANENTLY
CONNECTED EQUIPMENT, PROTECTIVE
CONDUCTOR TERMINAL is close to mains
TERMINALS
supply
c) If no mains supply is required, any
PROTECTIVE CONDUCTOR TERMINAL:
– is near TERMINALS of circuit for which
protective earthing is necessary
– external if other TERMINALS external
d) Equivalent current-carrying capacity to
mains supply TERMINALS
e) Soldered connections:
i) independently secured
ii) not used for other purposes
– Screw connections are secured
f) Contact surfaces are metal
g) If plug-in, makes first and breaks last
h) Protective conductor of measuring
circuit:
– current RATING
