CSA Preface

This is the third edition of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-2-061, Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use — Part 2-061: Particular requirements for laboratory atomic spectrometers with thermal atomization and ionization, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61010-2-061 (third edition, 2015-03). It supersedes the previous edition published in 2004 as CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-2-061 (adopted IEC 61010-2-061:2003; replaced by bilingual edition in 2005). It is one in a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code.

For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-2-061" throughout.

This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1-12, Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use — Part 1: General requirements (adopted IEC 61010-1:2010, with Canadian deviations).

Scope and object

This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:

1.1 Scope

1.1.1 Equipment included in scope

Replacement:

Replace the text by the following:

This part of IEC 61010 applies to electrically powered laboratory atomic spectrometers with thermal atomization.

NOTE 1 Examples include atomic absorption spectrometers, emission flame photometers, atomic fluorescence spectrophotometers, inductively coupled plasma spectrometers, microwave coupled plasma spectrometers and mass spectrometers, all with thermal atomization and ionization (including tubing and connectors which are provided by the manufacturer for connection to external supplies).

NOTE 2 If 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, consideration is to be given to those other part 2 standards.

1.1.2 Equipment excluded from scope

Addition:

Add as the first paragraph:

This standard does not apply to thermal atomization detectors (flame ionization detectors) used in gas chromatography.
