SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

FOR MEASUREMENT, CONTROL, AND LABORATORY USE –
Part 3-1: Conformity verification report for IEC 61010-1:2001

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Technical Report may be the subject of
patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected
data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for
example “state of the art”.
IEC 61010-3-1, which is a technical report, has been prepared by IEC technical committee 66:
Safety of measuring, control, and laboratory equipment.
The text of this technical report is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
66/278/DTR 66/316 /RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report can be found in the
report on voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the IEC/ISO Directives, Part 2.
–4– TR 61010-3-1  IEC:2003(E)
This report is a Technical Report and is of a purely informative nature and is therefore by
itself not to be regarded as an International Standard. It is to assist users of the standard with
determining and recording verification of conformity of the equipment under test with the
requirements of:
nd
IEC 61010-1: 2001 2 edition
nd
The protocol for completion of this report is contained in publication IEC 61010-3:2003 2
edition.
The IEC sells read-only PDF files as a general rule. In the present instance, and quite
exceptionally, to enable the user to fill in the forms, a revisable file is included in a pocket
affixed to the back cover of this publication.
This file can also be downloaded from the Web as a PDF file. There is, however, at the end
of the document, a revisable file containing the forms. Please use the zip/unzip function.
WARNING – Experience has shown that if a version is downloaded in Word 97 or Word 2000
and is subsequently converted to Word 6, some of the symbols may have been incorrectly
changed in the conversion. Care must, therefore, be taken to verify the symbols used in the
converted document.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
2006. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
