SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
FOR MEASUREMENT, CONTROL AND LABORATORY USE –

Part 2-010: Particular requirements for laboratory
equipment for the heating of materials

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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 61010-2-010 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 66:
Safety of measuring, control and laboratory equipment.
It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2014. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) alignment with changes introduced by Amendment 1 of IEC 61010-1:2010;
b) alignment with IEC 61010-2-011 and IEC 61010-2-012:

– new matching Introduction clarifying which standard(s) to use;
– new 5.4.101 instructions for flammable liquid HEAT TRANSFER MEDIUM;
– subclause 9.5 on flammable liquids replaced with text from IEC 61010-2-012;
c) subclause 5.2.101 deleted;
d) requirements in 10.101 b) and c) clarified.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
66/657/CDV 66/678/RVC

Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of the IEC 61010 series, published under the general title: Safety
requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use, can be
found on the IEC website.
This Part 2-010 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 61010-1. It was
established on the basis of the third edition (2010) and its Amendment 1 (2016), hereinafter
referred to as Part 1.
This Part 2-010 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 61010-1 so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for laboratory
equipment for the heating of materials.
Where a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2-010, that subclause
applies as far as is reasonable. Where this Part 2-010 states "addition", "modification",
"replacement", or "deletion" the relevant requirement, test specification or note in Part 1
should be adapted accordingly.
In this standard:
1) the following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– NOTES in small roman type;
– conformity and test: in italic type;
– terms used throughout this standard which have been defined in Clause 3: SMALL
ROMAN CAPITALS;

INTRODUCTION
This Part 2-010, Part 2-011 and Part 2-012, taken together, address the specific HAZARDS
associated with the heating and cooling of materials by equipment and are organized as
follows:
Specifically addresses the HAZARDS associated with equipment incorporating heating
IEC 61010-2-010
systems.
Specifically addresses the HAZARDS associated with equipment incorporating
IEC 61010-2-011
refrigerating systems.
Specifically addresses the HAZARDS associated with equipment incorporating both
heating and refrigerating systems that interact with each other such that the combined
heating and cooling system yield additional or more severe HAZARDS for the two
IEC 61010-2-012
systems than if treated separately. It also addresses the HAZARDS associated with the
treatment of materials by other factors like irradiation, excessive humidity, CO2 and
mechanical movement, etc.

Guidance for the application of the appropriate Part 2 standard(s)
When the equipment includes only a material heating system, and no refrigerating system or
other environmental factors apply, then Part 2-010 applies without needing Part 2-011 or
Part 2-012. Similarly, when the equipment includes only a refrigerating system, and no
material heating system or other environmental factors apply, then Part 2-011 applies without
needing Part 2-010 or Part 2-012. However, when the equipment incorporates both a material
heating system, and a refrigerating system or the materials being treated in the intended
application introduce significant heat into the refrigerating system, a determination should be
made as to whether the interaction between the two systems will generate additional or more
severe HAZARDS than if the systems were evaluated separately (controlled temperature, see
flow chart of Figure 102 for selection process). If the interaction of the heating and cooling
functions yields no additional or more severe HAZARDS, then both Part 2-010 and Part 2-011
HAZARDS result
apply for their respective functions. Conversely, if additional or more severe
from the combining of the heating and cooling functions, or if the equipment incorporates
additional material treatment factors, then Part 2-012 applies, but not Part 2-010 or Part 2-011.
What HAZARDS are applicable for a refrigerating system?
The typical HAZARDS for a refrigerating system (see Figure 101) consisting of a
motor-compressor, a condenser, an expansion device and an evaporator include but are not
limited to:
– The maximum temperature of low-pressure side (return temperature) to the motor-
compressor. A motor-compressor incorporates a refrigerant cooled motor and it must be
established that the maximum temperatures of low-pressure side under least favourable
RATINGS within the motor.
condition do not exceed the insulation
– The maximum pressure of low-pressure side at the inlet to the motor-compressor. The
housing of the motor-compressor is exposed to this pressure and so the design RATING of
the motor-compressor housing must accommodate the worst-case pressures whilst
providing the correct safety margin for a pressure vessel.
– The maximum temperature of high-pressure side to the condenser. The temperatures of
the high-pressure side under most unfavourable conditions may present a temperature
HAZARD if the OPERATOR is exposed to them or if the electrical insulation is degraded.
– The maximum pressure of high-pressure side at the outlet to the motor-compressor. The
refrigerant components downstream of the motor-compressor up to the expansion device
are exposed to this pressure and so the design RATING of these components must
accommodate the worst-case pressures whilst providing the appropriate safety margin for
a pressure vessel.
– The maximum controlled temperatures, namely, the soaked temperature conditions, where
the heat is being extracted from, may impact the maximum temperature of low-pressure
side to the motor-compressor as well as present a temperature HAZARD if the OPERATOR is

exposed to them or if the electrical insulation is degraded. Whether this controlled
temperature is derived from an integral heating function of the device or from the heat
dissipated from the material being cooled, the impact under worst-case conditions should
be evaluated.
– The current draw of the equipment should be established when including the worst-case
running conditions of the refrigerating system including any defrost cycles that may apply.
The worst-case conditions need to be determined for the equipment and will include both the
least favourable NORMAL USE conditions as well as the most unfavourable testing results under
SINGLE FAULT CONDITIONS.

Replacement:
Replace the second paragraph by the following:
This part of IEC 61010 specifies particular safety requirements for the following types a) to c)
of electrical equipment and their accessories, wherever they are intended to be used,
whenever the heating of materials is one of the functions of the equipment.
Addition:
Add the following text after item c):
It is possible that 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. In that case, the
requirements of those other Part 2 standards will also apply. In particular, if equipment is
intended to be used for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) purposes, the requirements of
IEC 61010-2-101 will also apply. 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 t
