Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use - Part 031: Safety requirements for hand-held and hand-manipulated probe assemblies for electrical test and measurement
IEC 61010-031:2022 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. It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2015, and Amendment 1:2018. IEC 61010-031 is a stand-alone standard. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
the scope has been made succinct. General information from the scope of Edition 2 has been moved to a new Clause 4. Consequently, Clause 4 to Clause 8 of Edition 2 have been renumbered. Clause 9 of Edition 2 has been deleted;
in Clause 2, normative references have been dated and new normative references have been added;
in 3.1.4, the definition of probe tip has been modified;
in 4.1, there is no longer any differentiation between high voltage and low voltage probe assemblies. Type C probe assemblies have been merged with Type B probe assemblies;
in 4.1 d) "Kelvin" probes have been added to the list of probe assemblies as a new Type E and a new Figure 5;
in 4.1 e), probes for voltage measurement without electrical connection to conductors have been added to the list of probe assemblies as a new Type F and a new Figure 6;
in 4.2.1, spread of fire is no longer considered as a hazard;
Subclause 4.4.2.5 from Edition 2 has been deleted;
Subclause 4.4.4.3 from Edition 2 has been deleted;
in 5.4.4.1 consideration has been given to spacings and impedance;
in 6.1.1, removable parts of probe tips which bear markings are allowed;
in 6.1.5, the voltage to be marked for measurement categories is the AC line-to-neutral or DC voltage;
in 7.4.2, requirements for unmated connectors have been modified as follows:
Table 2 has been modified and expanded,
a calculation method for clearances of connectors above 20 kV has been defined,
creepage distances have been aligned with clearances;
in 7.4.3.1 and 7.4.3.5, requirements for IP2X probe tips with retractable sleeve have been added;
in 7.4.3.2, Probe tips are now applicable to non-contact probe assemblies;
in 7.5.2.3.2, the values of Table 5 have been modified;

Ta del standarda IEC 61010 določa varnostne zahteve za sestave ročnih in ročno vodenih sond za električna preskušanja in meritve ter pripadajočo dodatno opremo. Ti sestavi sond so namenjeni brezkontaktni ali neposredni električni povezavi med delom in električnimi preskušanji ter merilno opremo. Pritrdijo se lahko na opremo ali so odstranljivi dodatki za opremo.
Ta publikacija skupinske varnosti, ki se osredotoča na bistvene varnostne zahteve, se uporablja predvsem kot standard o varnosti izdelka za izdelke, ki so omenjeni v okviru publikacije, vendar je namenjena tudi tehničnim odborom pri pripravi publikacij za izdelke, ki so podobni izdelkom, omenjenim v okviru te publikacije skupinske varnosti, skladno z načeli vodil IEC 104 in ISO/IEC 51.
Ena od dolžnosti tehničnega odbora je, da med pripravo publikacij uporablja osnovne varnostne publikacije in/ali publikacije skupinske varnosti, kadar je to primerno.

(informative)
Relationship between this European standard and the safety
objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU [2014 OJ L96] aimed to be
covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request relating to
harmonized standards in the field of the Low Voltage Directive, M/511, to provide one voluntary means
of conforming to safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to the
making available on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits
[2014 OJ L96].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive, compliance
with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZ.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of
this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding safety objectives of that Directive,
and associated EFTA regulations.
