Safety requirements for electrical measurement instruments, control equipment and laboratory equipment.
The standard specifies safety requirements for electrical measurement and test equipment, industrial process-control equipment and laboratory equipment, in professional and non-professional versions. Edition 3 moved requirements for measuring and test circuits to the separate IEC 61010-2-030. The standard concerns safety (electric shock, energy, fire, temperature and insulation).
EMC and measurement accuracy are outside its scope.
Compliance with IEC 61010-1 confirms tested insulation, clearances and protection against electric shock for measuring transducers and power analysers installed in vehicle or substation control cabinets.
