SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT FOR
MEASUREMENT, CONTROL, AND LABORATORY USE –
Part 2-081: Particular requirements for automatic and
semi-automatic laboratory equipment for analysis and other purposes
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.
International Standard IEC 61010-2-081 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.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
66/260/FDIS 66/269/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard 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 part 2 is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 61010-1. It was established on the
basis of the second edition (2001). Consideration may be given to future editions of, or
amendments to, IEC 61010-1.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 61010-1 so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Safety requirements for automatic and semi-
automatic laboratory equipment for analysis and other purposes

Where a particular subclause of part 1 is not mentioned in this part 2, that subclause applies
as far as is reasonable. Where this part states “addition”, “modification”, “replacement”, or
“deletion”, the relevant requirement, test specification or note in part 1 should be adapted
accordingly.
In this standard:
1) the following print types are used:
• requirements: in roman type;
• NOTES: in smaller roman type;
• conformity and test: in italic type;
• terms used throughout this standard which have been defined in clause 3: SMALL
ROMAN CAPITALS.
2) subclauses or figures which are additional to those in part 1 are numbered starting
from 101; additional annexes are lettered starting from AA.
Annexes AA and BB form an integral part of this standard.
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.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT FOR
MEASUREMENT, CONTROL, AND LABORATORY USE –
Part 2-081: Particular requirements for automatic and
semi-automatic laboratory equipment for analysis and other purposes
1 Scope and object
This clause of part 1 is applicable except as follows:
1.1 Scope
Replacement:
This part 2 applies to automatic and semi-automatic laboratory equipment for analysis and
other purposes.
Automatic and semi-automatic laboratory equipment consists of instruments or systems for
measuring or modifying one or more characteristics or parameters of samples, performing the
complete process or parts of the process without manual intervention. Equipment forming part
of such a system is within the scope of this standard.
Examples of equipment within the scope of this standard include:
• analytical equipment;
• automatic sampler (pipettor, aliquoter);
• equipment for sample replication and amplification.
NOTE 1 In the case of analytical equipment the complete process usually includes the following steps:
• taking a specific quantity of the sample;
• preparing the sample by chemical, thermal, mechanical or other means;
• measurement;
• display, transmission or printing of the results of measurement.
NOTE 2 If all or part of the equipment falls within the scope of one or more other part 2 standards of IEC 61010
as well as within the scope of this standard, it will also need to meet the requirements of those other parts 2
standards.
1.2 Object
1.2.1 Aspects included in scope
Replacement:
Replace the first sentence by the following:
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the design and methods of construction used
provide a high degree of protection at a TOLERABLE RISK for the OPERATOR and the surrounding
area, using RISK management where specified (see 7.2.101 and annex AA).

Addition:
Add two new items:
a) biohazards;
b) hazardous chemical substances.
1.2.2 Aspects excluded from scope
Addition:
Add a new item and the following note:
g) handling or manipulation of material outside the equipment.
NOTE Requirements covering these subjects are the responsibility of committees preparing the relevant standards.
2 Normative references
This clause of part 1 is applicable except as follows:
Addition:
IEC 60068-2-75:1997, Environmental testing – Part 2-75: Test – Test Eh: Hammer tests
3 Terms and definitions
This clause of part 1 is applicable except as follows:
3.1 Equipment and states of equipment
Additions:
Additional definitions:
3.101
HARM
physical injury or damage to the health of people, or damage to property or the environment
[ISO/IEC Guide 51:1999, definition 3.3]
3.102
RISK
combination of the probability of occurrence of HARM and the severity of that HARM
[ISO/IEC Guide 51:1999, definition 3.2]
3.103
TOLERABLE RISK
RISK which is accepted in a given context based on the current values of society
[ISO/IEC Guide 51:1999, definition 3.7]
NOTE TOLERABLE RISK is the result of a balance between the ideal of absolute safety, the demands to be met by a
product, process or service, and factors such as benefit to the user, suitability of purpose, cost effectiveness, RISK
evaluation, conventions of the society concerned, and the state of the art.
