Scope:

This IEC second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

 

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

 

- The scope has been reduced to hand-held multimeters. Voltmeters and clamp multimeters have been removed. They are addressed respectively by IEC 61010-2-030 and IEC 61010-2-032. The relevant definitions have been removed.

- Subclause 4.4.2.101 has been relocated into Clause 102.

 

- Clearances and creepage distances for wet locations and for measuring circuit terminals exceeding 1 000 V a.c. or 1 414 V d.c. have been specified.

 

- Subcase 14.101 related to "Circuits or components used as transient overvoltage limiting devices in measuring circuits used to measure mains" has been removed.

 

- References to IEC 61010-031 for probe assemblies and IEC 61010-2-032 for current sensors have been added.

- Requirements for protection against mains overvoltage measuring circuits have been added.

 

- Clause 102 has been rewritten.

- Requirements for measuring circuits from 1 000 V to 3 000 V have been added.

 

- An informative Annex CC about dimensions of 4-mm banana terminals has been added.

- A flowchart for insulation according to the type of circuit has been added in a new Annex DD.

Project need:

To maintain alignment with international requirements in the safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use.
