This part of IEC 61 01 0 specifies general safety requirements for electrical equipment intended for professional, industrial process, and educational use, any of which may incorporate computing devices, as defined in a) to d) below, when used under the environmental
conditions of 1 .4.
a) Electrical test and measurement equipment
This is equipment which by electrical means tests, measures, indicates or records one or more electrical or non-electrical quantities, also non-measuring equipment such as signal generators, measurement standards, power supplies, transducers, transmitters, etc.
NOTE All indicating and recording electrical measuring instruments (except those excluded in 1 .1 .2) fall within the scope of IEC 61 01 0 unless they are panel meters designed only for building-in to other equipment. Built-in panel meters are considered to be components and only need to meet the relevant requirements of IEC 61 01 0, or other standards, as part of the equipment into which they are built.
