CSA CAN/CSA-C22.2 NO. 61010-2-033:14

Abstract

<strong>Equipment included in scope</strong> <br>This part of IEC 61010 specifies safety requirements for METERS. <br>The METERS that have a primary purpose of measuring voltage on a live MAINS CIRCUIT are within the scope of this standard. They have various names, but all of them have capability for measurements of voltages on a live MAINS CIRCUIT. Some of the names given to this equipment are as follows: <br>&#8211; MULTIMETER; <br>&#8211; digital MULTIMETER; <br>&#8211; VOLTMETER; <br>&#8211; clamp METER (see also Part 2-032). <br>For the purpose of this standard, the term METER is used for these HAND-HELD measuring instruments. <br>NOTE Parts of the equipment that are not within the scope of this Part 2-033 are considered to be covered by the requirements of Part 1 or other part 2's of IEC 61010 and then will also need to meet the requirements of these other parts. <br><strong>Equipment excluded from scope</strong> <br>aa) IEC 61557 (Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V a.c. and 1 500 V d.c. &#8211; Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring of protective measures &#8211; Parts 1 through 12). <br>Equipment that is not capable of measuring MAINS voltages is not within the scope of this Part 2-033. See IEC 61010-2-030 for requirements pertaining to such equipment. <br>Such equipment, including other HAND-HELD equipment such as oscilloscopes, wattmeters, process control MULTIMETERS, and communications test sets is not within the scope of this Part 2-033. <br><strong>Aspects included in scope</strong> <br>Requirements for protection against HAZARDS resulting from NORMAL USE and REASONABLY FORESEEABLE MISUSE of measuring circuits are given in Clause 101.
