IEC 61010-1 is a safety similar to the IEC 60950 and IEC 60601 standards, but instead reflects requirements for measurement, control and laboratory equipment. This includes instruments such as meter and oscilloscopes but also extends to x-ray equipment. In addition to protecting against electrical shock, fire and mechanical or burn injury, IEC 61010-1 also addresses hazards related to fluids, lasers and UV light, as well as those that may arise from the measuring circuit. Not all these hazards are directly relevant to the equipment’s power supply but fortunately the latest 3rd edition of the standard separates the general equipment requirements from the more specific measurement circuits, which are now covered by IEC 61010-2. The 3rd edition also defines more stringent requirements in respect to shock and fire hazards.
