What is IEC 61010?

IEC 61010 is a series of international safety standards published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). These standards specify safety requirements for electrical equipment used in measurement, control, and laboratory applications. They aim to protect operators and surrounding areas from hazards such as electric shock, fire, and mechanical hazards. The standards cover various aspects, including design, construction, testing, and marking requirements. There are multiple parts to IEC 61010, each addressing specific types of equipment or hazards. They are commonly used by manufacturers to ensure the safety of their equipment and to comply with regulatory requirements in many countries.
