Product Details
Preface
This is the harmonized CSA Group and ULSE Standard for 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. It is the third edition of CSA C22.2 No. 61010-031 and the third edition of UL 61010-031. This edition of CSA C22.2 No. 61010-031 supersedes the previous edition published January 27, 2017. This edition of UL 61010-031 supersedes the previous edition published on January 7, 2020.
This harmonized standard is based on IEC Publication 61010-031: third edition, 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, issued December 2022. IEC 61010-031 is copyrighted by the IEC.
This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the standard.
This standard was reviewed by the CSA Subcommittee on Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Consumer and Commercial Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSA Technical Committee. This standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.
Scope
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.
1DV DR Modification of Clause 1 to add the following after the first paragraph:
This standard does not apply to non-contact voltage detectors covered under the scope of UL 1436, ULC 61243 series, or CSA C22.2 No 160.
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 ISO/IEC 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.
