What is IEC 61010-2-034 about?
IEC 61010-2-034 specifies the safety requirements for measurement equipment for insulation resistance and test equipment for electric strength which are connected to units, lines or circuits for test or measurement purposes.
This group safety publication is primarily intended to be used as a product safety standard for the products mentioned in the scope, also be used by technical committees in the preparation of their publications for products like those mentioned in the scope of IEC 61010-2-034.
IEC 61010-2-034 specifies safety requirements for measurement equipment for insulation resistance and test equipment for electric strength with an output voltage exceeding 50 V a.c. or 120 V d.c.
Note: IEC 61010-2-034 also applies to combined measuring equipment that has an insulation resistance measurement function or an electric strength test measurement function.
Who is IEC 61010-2-034 for?
IEC 61010-2-034 on requirements for insulation resistance and test equipment for electric strength is applicable to:
- Electronic or electrical equipment manufacturers and suppliers
- Electricians
- Manufacturers of test devices
- Manufacturers of dielectric testers
- Safety and regulatory bodies
Why should you use IEC 61010-2-034?
Test and dielectric tester are used to check whether the connections are made perfectly in the electrical equipment.
IEC 61010-2-034 provides requirements for the test equipment for testing an electrical installation must meet all the requirements this will ensure the safety of the electrical equipment.
To minimize the chances of injury during product use IEC 61010-2-034 specifies requirements and test electrical safety insight into whether one's product is safely designed, such that one can avoid or reduce the risk of the product being the cause of damage or injury to people.
