Full Description

IEC 61010-1:2010, Clause 1 and IEC 61010-1:2010/AMD1:2016, Clause 1 apply, except as follows:
1.1.1 Equipment included in scope
Replacement:
Replace the existing text with the following:

This part of IEC 61010 specifies safety requirements and related verification tests for control equipment or their associated peripherals, or both.

Some equipment examples are:
• programmable logic controller (PLC);
• programmable automation controller (PAC);
• distributed control systems (DCS);
• industrial PC (computers) and panel PC;
• programming and debugging tools (PADTs);
• displays and human-machine interfaces (HMI);
• any product performing the function of control equipment or their associated peripherals, or both;
• positioners; and
• control equipment which have as their intended use the command and control of machines, automated manufacturing and industrial processes, for example discrete and continuous control.

Components of the above named equipment and within the scope of this document are, for example:
• (auxiliary) stand-alone power supplies;
• peripherals such as digital and analogue I/O,
• remote-I/O;
• industrial network equipment, embedded or stand-alone (e.g. switches, routers, wireless
base station).

Control equipment and their associated peripherals are intended to be used in an industrial environment. This document considers equipment designed as OPEN or ENCLOSED EQUIPMENT.

NOTE 1 Control equipment intended also for use in other environments or for other purposes (example: for use in building installations to control light or other electrical installations, or for use on cars, trains or ships) can have additional conformity requirements defined by the safety standard(s) for these applications. These requirements can involve for example: insulation, spacings and power restrictions.
