The IEC61010-1:2010 standard specifies the safety requirements that are generally applicable to electrical test and measurement equipment, electrical industrial process-control equipment and electrical laboratory equipment.
The purpose of the requirements of IEC61010-1:2010 is to ensure that Hazards to the Operator and the surrounding area are reduced to a tolerable level.
- Electric shock or burn
- Mechanical hazards
- Spread of fire from the equipment
- Excessive temperature
- Effects of fluids and fluid pressure
- Effects of radiation, including lasers sources, and sonic and ultrasonic pressure
- Liberated gases, explosion and implosion
