IEC 61010-2-012:2016 PDF (Not Available)

IEC 61010-2-012:2016 is a safety standard that sets out the requirements for electrical equipment used in measurement, control, and laboratory applications, specifically focusing on climatic and environmental testing as well as temperature conditioning equipment. The standard applies to equipment with specific characteristics, including those with a combination of heating and cooling systems that generate additional hazards compared to individual systems, equipment that introduces significant heat into the cooling system, and equipment with an irradiation function or exposure to excessive humidity, carbon dioxide, salt mist, or other substances.

Additionally, equipment with mechanical movement and provisions for operators to walk-in are also included within the scope of the standard. IEC 61010-2-012:2016 is a group safety publication and should be considered alongside IEC 61010-1:2010, which outlines general safety requirements for electrical equipment used in similar applications.
