CSA C22.2 NO. 61010-2-012:19 PDF (Not Available)

The CSA C22.2 NO. 61010-2-012:19 standard is a safety standard for electrical equipment used in measurement, control, and laboratory settings. It is an adoption of the corresponding IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61010-2-012.

The standard specifies safety requirements for electrical equipment and its accessories within certain categories, including equipment that incorporates a refrigerating system with an integral heating function, materials that introduce significant heat into the refrigerating system, equipment with an irradiation function, equipment that exposes materials to excessive humidity or other substances, equipment with mechanical movement, and equipment that allows operators to walk into the operating area.

Examples of equipment that fall under the scope of this standard include environmental testing chambers, refrigerating circulators with heating, and recirculating coolers for heat extraction.

It is important to note that if equipment incorporates only a refrigerating system or only a heating function, or a combination of the two without introducing the additional hazards described, then other applicable standards (IEC 61010-2-011 or IEC 61010-2-010) should be followed.

The standard also excludes certain equipment such as laboratory heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment, and sterilizing equipment.

In addition to general safety requirements, the standard addresses specific aspects such as biohazards and hazardous chemical substances.
