IEC 61010 Standard for Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use overview with High Tech Design Safety CEO, Steve Barcik Amstel - http://hightechdesignsafety.com/

In today’s video, Steve talks about the IEC standard 61010. This standard is also a UL and ANSI Standard as well in the US. IEC 61010 is the electrical requirements for laboratory test and measurement equipment… So machines used to measure quantities within your facility or in your client’s facility, control of process output variables, temperature controllers, pH controllers…things of that nature. It also includes other laboratory equipment for example… microscopes or other devices in a laboratory.

61010 covers the electrical requirements for these types of equipment. This is important to you because in some cases when you supply your equipment specifically within the US and Canada, you are required to show suitability of use of your equipment for installation. So when you send your equipment to your end customer, sometimes you’ll be asked for an electrical evaluation by a third party or a field labeling of your equipment before it is installed. Shipping your equipment to these types of jurisdictions…these types of customers in those areas goes much easier if you are already designed and approved to 61010. This makes it very easy to sell your equipment into those jurisdictions. Additionally if you need to sell your equipment to Europe or globally…already being approved to an international standard makes your final acceptance easier and you can get a CE mark and other things done much more rapidly.

IEC 61010 should be part of your design process and design reviews. This video has provided a quick overview and as we move forward, we will have a training video for each section of IEC, UL, ANSI 61010 and break each of those down to provide you with data from the standard that is actionable within your design.
