This document contains a few significant technical changes to already accepted base documents (IEC

61010-1:2010 and its amendment 1:2016 and IEC 61010-2-012:2016) that are highlighted in the

foreword. Clause 6.8.3.1 is modified because otherwise it would need a specific European deviation in

order to be harmonised to the LVD 2014/35/EU (ref. NAC assessment of IEC 61010-1/A1).

The changes are realised as a new 2nd edition of IEC 61010-2-012 simply because of document

control; the previous edition 1.0 is based on the third edition of IEC 61010-1:2010 (without the

Amendment 1:2016) and amending it to incorporate the contents of IEC 61010-1 Amendment 1 would

need an unnecessary repeating of the requirements in that amendment 1 that are not particular for the

equipment in the scope of IEC 61010-2-012. Furthermore, technically, one would need to follow 4

documents in parallel to get the full text of this part 2 (61010-1:2010, 61010-1 A1:2016, 61010-2-

012:2016, and 61010-2-012 A1).With this approach, and when the consolidated version of IEC 61010-

1:2010/A1:2016 conveniently is published, only two documents are needed.

This document is being circulated in parallel with 66/659/INF, for track changes version.

57 and other temperature conditioning equipment
59 FOREWORD

60 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

61 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote

62 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To

63 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,

64 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC

65 Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested

66 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-

67 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely

68 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by

69 agreement between the two organizations.

70 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

71 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

72 interested IEC National Committees.

73 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

74 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

75 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

76 misinterpretation by any end user.

77 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

78 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence

79 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in

80 the latter.

81 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

82 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

83 services carried out by independent certification bodies.

84 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

85 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

86 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

87 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

88 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

89 Publications.

90 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

91 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

92 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

93 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

94 International Standard IEC 61010-2-012 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 66:

95 Safety of measuring, control and laboratory equipment.

96 It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

97 This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2016. It constitutes a

98 technical revision and includes the following changes from the first edition:
99 • alignment with changes introduced by Amendment 1 of IEC 61010-1;
100 • changes related to the use of small capitals only for defined terms;
101 • clarifications for cooling tests in 4.4.2.10;

102 • requirements for overtemperature protection in 10.101, including deletion of second part of

103 b) and c);

146 INTRODUCTION

147 This standard, in conjunction with Part 2-010 and Part 2-011, addresses the specific HAZARDS

148 associated with the heating and cooling of materials by equipment and are segregated as

149 follows:

specifically addresses the HAZARDS associated with equipment incorporating heating

IEC 61010-2-010
systems.

specifically addresses the HAZARDS associated with equipment incorporating REFRIGERATING

IEC 61010-2-011
SYSTEMS.

specifically addresses the HAZARDS associated with equipment incorporating both heating

and REFRIGERATING SYSTEMS that interact with each other such that the combined heating

and cooling system yield additional or more severe HAZARDS for the two systems than if

IEC 61010-2-012

treated separately. It also addresses the HAZARDS associated with the treatment of materials

by other factors like irradiation, excessive humidity, CO and MECHANICAL MOVEMENT etc.

150
151 Guidance for the application of the appropriate Part 2 standard(s)

152 When the equipment includes only a material heating system, and no REFRIGERATING SYSTEM

153 or other environmental factors apply, then Part 2-010 applies without needing Part 2-011 or

154 Part 2-012. Similarly, when the equipment includes only a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM, and no

155 material heating system or other environmental factors apply, then Part 2-011 applies without

156 needing Part 2-010 or Part 2-012. However, when the equipment incorporates both a material

157 heating system, and a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM or the materials being treated in the intended

158 application introduce significant heat into the REFRIGERATING SYSTEM, a determination should

159 be made whether the interaction between the two systems will generate additional or more

160 severe HAZARDS than if the systems were evaluated separately (CONTROLLED TEMPERATURE,

161 see flow chart for selection process). If the interaction of the heating and cooling functions

162 yields no additional or more severe HAZARDS then both Part 2-010 and Part 2-011 apply for

163 their respective functions. Conversely, if additional or more severe HAZARDS result from the

164 combining of the heating and cooling function, or the equipment incorporates additional

165 material treatment factors then Part 2-012 applies but not Part 2-010 or Part 2-011.

166 What HAZARDS are applicable for a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM?

167 The typical HAZARDS for a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM (see Figure 101) consisting of a MOTOR-

168 COMPRESSOR, a CONDENSER, an expansion device and an EVAPORATOR include but are not

169 limited to:

170 – The maximum temperature of LOW-PRESSURE SIDE (return temperature) to the MOTOR-

171 COMPRESSOR. A MOTOR-COMPRESSOR incorporates a REFRIGERANT cooled motor and it

172 should be established that the maximum temperatures of LOW-PRESSURE SIDE under least

173 favourable condition do not exceed the insulation RATINGS within the motor.

174 – The maximum pressure of LOW-PRESSURE SIDE at the inlet to the MOTOR-COMPRESSOR. The

175 housing of the MOTOR-COMPRESSOR is exposed to this pressure and so the design RATING

176 of the MOTOR-COMPRESSOR housing should accommodate the worst case pressures whilst

177 providing the correct safety margin for a pressure vessel.

178 – The maximum temperature of HIGH-PRESSURE SIDE to the CONDENSER. The temperatures of

179 HIGH-PRESSURE SIDE under most unfavourable conditions may present a temperature

180 HAZARD if the OPERATOR is exposed to or electrical insulation is degraded.

181 – The maximum pressure of HIGH-PRESSURE SIDE at the outlet to the MOTOR-COMPRESSOR.

182 The REFRIGERANT components downstream of the MOTOR-COMPRESSOR up to the expansion

183 device are exposed to this pressure and so the design RATING of these components should

184 accommodate the worst case pressures whilst providing the appropriate safety margin for

185 a pressure vessel.

186 – The maximum CONTROLLED TEMPERATURES, namely, the SOAKED TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS,

187 where the heat is being extracted from, may impact the maximum temperature of LOW-

190 TEMPERATURE is derived from an integral heating function of the device or from the heat

191 dissipated from the material being cooled the impact under worst case conditions should

192 be evaluated.

193 – The current draw of the equipment should be established when including the worst case

194 running conditions of the REFRIGERATING SYSTEM including any defrost cycles that may

195 apply.

196 The worst case conditions should be determined for the equipment and will include both the

197 least favourable NORMAL USE conditions as well as the most unfavourable testing results under

213 1 Scope and object
214 This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:
215 1.1.1 Equipment included in scope
216 Replacement:
217 Replace the second paragraph by the following:

218 This Part 2 of IEC 61010 specifies safety requirements for electrical equipment and their

219 accessories within the categories a) through c), wherever they are intended to be used,

220 whenever that equipment incorporates one or more of the following characteristics:

221 – A REFRIGERATING SYSTEM that is acted on or impacted by an integral heating function such

222 that the combined heating and cooling system generates additional and/or more severe

223 HAZARDS than those for the two systems if treated separately.

224 – The materials being treated in the intended application introduce significant heat into the

225 REFRIGERATING SYSTEM that the cooling system in the application yield additional and/or

226 more severe HAZARDS than those for the cooling system if operated at the maximum RATED

227 ambient alone.

228 – An irradiation function for the materials being treated presenting additional HAZARDS.

229 – A function to expose the materials being treated to excessive humidity, carbon dioxide,

230 salt mist, or other substances which may result in additional HAZARDS.
231 – A function of MECHANICAL MOVEMENT presenting additional HAZARDS.

232 – Provision for an OPERATOR to walk-in to the operating area to load or unload the materials

233 being treated.
234 Addition:
235 Add the following text after the last paragraph:

236 NOTE 101 Examples of such equipment include environmental testing and plant growth TEST CHAMBERS,

237 refrigerating CIRCULATORS which incorporate heating, recirculating coolers for extracting heat.

238 If all or part of the equipment falls within the scope of one or more other Part 2 standards of

239 IEC 61010 as well as within the scope of this standard, it should also meet the requirements

240 of those other Part 2 standards. However, when the equipment incorporates only a

241 REFRIGERATING SYSTEM or only a heating function or a combination of the two without

242 introducing additional HAZARDS described in the above dashed paragraphs then the

243 application of IEC 61010-2-011 or IEC 61010-2-010 or both, as applicable, shall be

244 considered instead of this Part 2.

245 See further information in the flow chart for selection process and guidance in the

246 INTRODUCTION.

247 NOTE 102 Subclause 3.1.107 and Annex BB provides definition and requirements for protection of people who

248 are inside WALK-IN EQUIPMENT.
