This Part 2-020 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of EN 61010-1:2001 so as to convert
it into the European Standard "Safety requirements for laboratory centrifuges".
Where a particular clause or subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2-020, that clause or
subclause applies as far as is reasonable. Where this part states "addition", "modification" or
"replacement", the relevant text of Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2007-04-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2009-07-01
In this standard:
1) the following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– NOTES: in small roman type;
– conformity and tests: italic type;
– terms used throughout this standard which have been defined in Clause 3: SMALL ROMAN
CAPITALS;
2) subclauses, figures, tables and notes which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting
from 101; additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT FOR

Part 2-020: Particular requirements for laboratory centrifuges

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61010-2-020 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 66,
Safety of measuring, control and laboratory equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1992 and its
Amendment 1 (1996). It constitutes a technical revision. This second edition has been updated
to provide more specific wording for some of the instructions or subclauses, and the language
has been updated to reflect current terminology used in the Industry today.
It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
