scope:

1 Scope and object This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows: 1.1.1 Equipment included in the scope Replacement: Replace the text by the following: This part of IEC 61010 applies to REFRIGERATING EQUIPMENT and any test, measurement, control or laboratory equipment that incorporates a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM as part of the integrated design of the equipment. The scope of this Part 2 covers REFRIGERATING SYSTEMS that can be either an integral part of, or remote to the equipment being assessed provided that the equipment under question is in direct control of the REFRIGERATING SYSTEM. If all or part of the equipment falls within the scope of one or more other part 2 standards of IEC 61010 as well as within the scope of this standard, it will also need to meet the requirements of those other part 2 standards. In particular, if equipment is intended to be used as a centrifuge, it will also need to meet the requirements of IEC 61010-2-020. However, when the equipment incorporates a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM and a heating function where the combination of the two introduces additional or more severe HAZARDS than if treated separately then the application of IEC 61010-2-012 should be considered instead of this Part 2 if the design does not take measures to reliably to mitigate these additional hazards. See further information in the flow chart for selection process and guidance in the INTRODUCTION. NOTE - Examples for REFRIGERATING EQUIPMENT include, but are not limited to, laboratory equipment such as 231 laboratory refrigerators, freezers, refrigerated display cabinets etc.
