CLC/SR 66 - Safety of measuring, control, and laboratory equipment

66/378/RVC: 66/369/CDV rejected - Covered by work on new CDV (see PR=22196)

IEC 61010-2-030:2010 specifies safety requirements for testing and measuring circuits which are connected for test or measurement purposes to devices or circuits outside the measurement equipment itself. These include measurement circuits which are part of electrical test and measurement equipment, laboratory equipment, or process control equipment. The existence of these circuits in equipment requires additional protective means between the circuit and an OPERATOR. This Part 2-030 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 61010-1. It was established on the basis of the third edition (2010) of IEC 61010-1. Consideration may be given to future editions of, or amendments to, IEC 61010-1.

This part of EN 61010 applies only to electrically powered laboratory equipment for the heating of materials, where the heating of materials is the only function or is one of several functions of the equipment. It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

This part of EN 61010 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.

Applies to electrically powered laboratory atomic spectrometers with thermal atomization, including atomic absorption spectrometers, emission flame photometers, atomic fluorescence spectrophotometers, inductively coupled plasma spectrometers, microwave coupled plasma spectrometers, and mass spectrometers, all with thermal atomization and ionization (including tubing and connectors which are provided by the manufacturer for connection to external supplies). This Part 2-061 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 61010-1. This publication has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

Applies to hand-held and hand-manipulated CURRENT CLAMPS. These CURRENT CLAMPS are for use in the measurement of current without interruption of the current path of the circuit in which it is measured. They may be stand-alone CURRENT CLAMPS which are themselves within the scope of part 1, or accessories to other equipment within the scope of part 1. This standard does not apply to current transformers or current transducers intended for fixed installations. This standard has the status of a group safety publication.

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 characteristics of samples, performing the process without manual intervention. Examples of such equipment are: analytical equipment, automatic sampler (e.g. pipettor), equipment for sample replication and amplification.

Specifies general safety requirements for electrical equipment intended for professional, industrial process, and educational use. It applies to 4 main groups of equipment: (a) Electrical test and measurement equipment such as signal generators, measurement standards, power supplies, transducers, transmitters, etc. (b) Electrical control equipment to control specific values by manual setting, programming or by input variables. (c) Electrical laboratory equipment to measure, indicate, monitor or analyse substances, including in vitro diagnostic (IVD) equipment. (d) Accessories for use with the above (for example, sample handling equipment).

Applies to washer disinfectors and other equipment used for washing and disinfection. This is for the treatment of soiled items used in the medical, vetinary, pharmaceutical and laboratory fields. For domestic dishwashers see EN 60335-2-5, for commercial dishwashers see EN 60335-2-58.

Applies to sterilizers, including those having an automatic loading and unloading system, with one ore more chambers operating at approximately atmospheric pressure and using hot air or hot inertgas intended for the treatment of medical materials, and for laboratory processes.

Applies to autoclaves and sterilizers, including those with an automatic loading and unloading system, which incorporate a chamber using toxic gas intended for the treatment of medical materials, and for laboratory processes, for example for sterilization.

EN following parallel vote

Replacement: Applies to AUTOCLAVES, including those with an automatic loading and unloading system, which incorporate a PRESSURE VESSEL, using steam within the absolute pressure range from 0 to 500 kPa, and intended for the treatment of medical materials and for laboratory processes, for example for sterilization.
