SRPS EN IEC 61010-2-010:2020

Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - Part 2-010: Particular requirements for laboratory equipment for the heating of materials

Scope

This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:
1.1.1 Equipment included in scope
Replacement:
Replace the second paragraph by the following:
This part of IEC 61010 specifies particular safety requirements for the following types a) to c) of electrical equipment and their accessories, wherever they are intended to be used, whenever the heating of materials is one of the functions of the equipment.
Addition:
Add the following text after item c):
It is possible that 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. In that case, the requirements of those other Part 2 standards will also apply. In particular, if equipment is intended to be used for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) purposes, the requirements of IEC 61010-2-101 will also apply. However, when the equipment incorporates a refrigerating system and a heating function where the combination of the two introduces additional or more severe HAZARDS than if treated separately, then it is possible that IEC 61010-2-012 is applicable instead of this Part 2-010.
See further information in the flow chart (Figure 102) for the selection process and the guidance in the Introduction.
1.1.2 Equipment excluded from scope
Addition:
Add the following items after item j):
aa) equipment for the heating and ventilation of laboratories;
bb) sterilizing equipment;
cc) heating and/or cooling equipment which the OPERATOR is intended to enter, and which is large enough for the OPERATOR to remain inside with the door or doors closed.
