Preface:
This is the third edition of CSA C22.2 No. 61010-2-081, Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use — Part 2-081: Particular requirements for automatic and semi-automatic laboratory equipment for analysis and other purposes, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61010-2-081 (third edition, 2019-02). It supersedes the previous edition published in 2015 as CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-2-081 (adopted IEC 61010-2-081:2015). 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 “CSA C22.2 No. 61010-2-081” 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 and US deviations); and Amendment 1:2018 to CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1:12 (adopted IEC Amendment 1:2016, with Canadian and US deviations).
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 and object:
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:
1.1.1 Equipment included in scope
Replacement:
Replace the text, except the first paragraph, by the following new text:
This part of IEC 61010 applies to automatic and semi-automatic laboratory equipment for analysis and other purposes.
Automatic and semi-automatic laboratory equipment consists of instruments or systems for measuring or modifying one or more characteristics or parameters of samples, performing the complete process or parts of the process without manual intervention. Equipment forming part of such a system is within the scope of this document.
Examples of equipment within the scope of this document include:
- analytical equipment;
- automatic sampler (pipettor, aliquoter);
- equipment for sample replication and amplification.
NOTE 1 In the case of analytical equipment, the complete process usually includes the following steps:
- taking a specific quantity of the sample;
- preparing the sample by chemical, thermal, mechanical or other means;
- measurement;
- display, transmission or printing of the results of measurement.
NOTE 2 If all or part of the equipment falls within the scope of one or more other Part 2 documents of IEC 61010 as well as within the scope of this document, consideration is given to those other Part 2 documents.
1.1.2 Equipment excluded from scope
Addition:
Add the following new item:
aa) IEC 61010-2-101 (in vitro diagnostic (IVD) equipment).
1.2 Object
1.2.1 Aspects included in scope
Addition:
Add the following new items:
aa) biohazards;
bb) hazardous chemical substances.
1.2.2 Aspects excluded from scope
Addition:
Add the following new item and note:
aa) handling or manipulation of material outside the equipment.
NOTE Requirements covering these subjects are the responsibility of committees preparing the relevant standards.
