IEC61010 should be part of your design process and design reviews. This video has provided a quick overview and as we move forward, we will have a training video for each section of IEC, UL, ANSI 61010 and break each of those down to provide you with data from the standard that is actionable within your design.
Depending on your equipment type this may be the electrical Standard for your equipment to prove conformance to SEMI S2 in addition to IEC 60204-33 IEC 60204-33:2009 applies to electrical and electronic equipment associated with semiconductor fabrication equipment for the manufacture, measurement, assembly, and test of semiconductors. It is applicable to the electrical equipment or parts of the electrical equipment that operate with nominal supply voltages not exceeding 1 000 V for alternating current (a.c.) and not exceeding 1 500 V for direct current (d.c.), and with nominal supply frequencies not exceeding 200 Hz. For higher voltages or frequencies, special requirements IEC 60204 applies to electrical and electronic equipment associated with semiconductor fabrication equipment for the manufacture, measurement, assembly, and test of semiconductors.

The IEC 61010 standard addresses the safety of laboratory, inspection, and measurement equipment. This includes electrical equipment for measurement and control in laboratory use. Types of laboratory equipment covered by the IEC 61010 family of standards include:
UL Solutions' experts have a deep understanding of the evolving standards landscape for healthcare applications. In order to keep your healthcare laboratory compliant, it is important to know the current regulations which apply to your equipment. UL Solutions can conduct numerous tests to keep your operation within standard guidelines. Many of the tests conducted within the IEC 61010 family of standards are:
A UL Certification, CB Certificate, and Informative Test Report fully supports global regulatory needs using the harmonized IEC 61010 family of standards. Compliance is required by most authorities with jurisdiction. These include retailers, laboratory managers, healthcare facilities managers and code enforcement. A UL Certification can result in:
IEC 61010-1:2010 specifies general safety requirements for the following types of electrical equipment and their accessories, wherever they are intended to be used.
a) Electrical test and measurement equipment
b) Electrical industrial process-control equipment c) Electrical laboratory equipment
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2001. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant changes from the second edition, as well as numerous other changes.
- The scope of the standard has been expanded to include all locations where these products may be used, so that both professional and non-professional versions of these products are within the scope.
- The requirements for testing and measuring circuits (in various subclauses and the entirety of Clause 16) have been removed and included in a particular standard IEC 61010-2-030.
- Insulation requirements (6.7) have been completely rewritten.
- Additional requirements for protection against mechanical HAZARDS (Clause 7) have been included.
- Surface temperature limits (Clause 10) have been modified to conform to the limits of EN 563.
- Radiation requirements (Clause 12) have been modified, and take into account a distinction between intended emission and unintended emission.
- Requirements for reasonably foreseeable misuse and ergonomic aspects have been added (Clause 16).
- A new clause (Clause 17) has been added to deal with HAZARDS and environments not covered by the standard, along with a new informative annex (Annex J) dealing with RISK assessment.
- A new informative annex (Annex E) addresses methods of reducing the POLLUTION DEGREE of a micro-environment.
- Requirements for the qualification of coatings for protection against POLLUTION have been added (Annex H).
- A new informative annex (Annex I) has been added to further explain how to determine the WORKING VOLTAGE of a MAINS CIRCUIT.

The National differences and Group differences, National Deviations and Special National conditions (SNC), are based solely on information provided to the Secretariat by the IECEE Member Bodies and/or NCBs and other sources. The IEC/IECEE is not responsible for, nor will it take any position related to, the accuracy or validity of the information provided. To verify the current status of this type of information, we recommend contacting the Member Body (MB) or National Certification Body (NCB) of the relevant country.
Many of the parts of this series have been harmonized by CENELEC CLC/SR 66 "Safety of measuring, control, and laboratory equipment"[1] as EN stanards, and almost all of them eventually get published in the Official Journal and receive Presumption of Conformity for the EU Low Voltage Directive, as seen in the lists of harmonised standards (PDF Version).

IEC 61010 provides safety guidelines and requirements for electrical equipment used in various settings, including laboratories, measurement and control systems, and similar environments. Its primary objective is to ensure the safety of personnel who work with or are in proximity to such equipment.
IEC 61010 specifies safety features, protective measures, and performance requirements for these types of equipment as well as addresses various potential hazards, such as electrical shock, fire, mechanical hazards, and hazards related to energy sources.
Compliance with IEC 61010 is essential for manufacturers, designers, and users of electrical equipment, as it helps ensure the safety of both operators and the surrounding environment. The standard is regularly updated and revised to keep pace with technological advancements and evolving safety practices.
IEC 61010 also helps identify and mitigate potential risks associated with electrical equipment. The standard addresses a wide range of hazards, including electrical, mechanical, and energy-related risks. By incorporating safety features and protective measures outlined in the standard, the likelihood of accidents, injuries, and property damage can be significantly reduced.
IEC 61010 provides a globally recognized framework for safety requirements, ensuring consistency and harmonization across different countries and regions. This international consensus promotes interoperability, facilitates trade, and simplifies the process of developing and adopting electrical equipment across borders.
To ensure your equipment remains in compliance with the latest revision of 61010, our regulatory experts are dedicated to helping you identify areas of product non-compliance. Risk Management is a key component in your product evaluation to 61010-1, Third Edition and involves a three-step risk assessment including Risk Analysis, Risk Evaluation and Risk Reduction. Determine which risk management compliance method is right for your equipment; here are some examples from Clause 17 of 61010-1, Third Edition:
We also offer alternatives to traditional testing, including Limited Product Certification and Field Labeling to provide a flexible, cost-effective solution for evaluating your laboratory equipment, regardless of quantity.
International standard IEC 61010-1 specifies safety requirements for a variety of electrical systems, including test and measurement, industrial process control, and laboratory equipment. The purpose of the standard is to minimize hazards to operators and the surrounding environment and equipment. The first edition was published in 1990, with the most recent third edition having been released in 2010. Many new elements were added in the third edition, including a complete rewrite of the section governing insulation requirements. This note discusses new requirements for thin film insulation and the impact on digital isolators utilizing this material as the isolation barrier.
The first and second editions of IEC 61010-1 detailed external clearance and creepage requirements based on line voltage, pollution degree, material group, and altitude. In these earlier editions, interior clearance and creepage requirements were specifically excluded. The following text appears in Section 6.7 of the second edition:
