scope:

This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows: 1.1.1 Equipment included in scope Replace the text with the following: This part of IEC 61010 specifies safety requirements for METERS. The METERS that have a primary purpose of measuring voltage on a live MAINS CIRCUIT are within the scope of this standard. They have various names, but all of them have capability for measurements of voltages on a live MAINS CIRCUIT. Some of the names given to this equipment are: - MULTIMETER, - digital MULTIMETER, - VOLTMETER. For the purpose of this standard, the term METER is used for these measuring HAND-HELD instruments. NOTE Parts of the equipment that are not within the scope of this Part 2 are considered to be covered by the requirements of Part 1 or other Parts 2 of IEC 61010 and then will also need to meet the requirements of these other parts. 1.1.2 Equipment excluded from scope Add a new item to the list: aa) IEC 61557 (Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V a.c. and 1 500 V d.c. - Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring of protective measures - Parts 1 through 12). Add a new last paragraph, as follows: Equipment that is not capable of measuring MAINS voltages is not within the scope of this Part 2. See IEC 61010-2-030 for requirements pertaining to such equipment. Such equipment included other HAND-HELD equipment such as oscilloscopes, wattmeters, process control MULTIMETERS, and communications test sets are not within the scope of this Part 2.
