scope:

Commented versions are a valuable improvement upon the conventional IEC Redline Version (RLV). These versions are designed to facilitate a clearer understanding of the revisions made between the prior and current editions of a publication. This enhanced product package incorporates both the most recent edition of the document and the annotated redline version. This combined offering provides users with an easily accessible means to track and comprehend the alterations and additions that have been made, thereby enhancing the utility and effectiveness of the publication for its intended audience.

This part of IEC 61010 specifies safety requirements for hand-held and hand-manipulated probe assemblies for electrical test and measurement, and their related accessories. These probe assemblies are for non-contact or direct electrical connection between a part and electrical test and measurement equipment. They can be fixed to the equipment or be detachable accessories for the equipment.

This group safety publication focusing on safety essential requirements is primarily intended to be used as a product safety standard for the products mentioned in the scope, but is also intended to be used by technical committees in the preparation of publications for products similar to those mentioned in the scope of this group safety publication, in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and lSO/lEC Guide 51.

One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications and/or group safety publications in the preparation of its publications.
