CSA C22.2 NO. 61010-2-033:14 (R2019)

Scope and object:

This part of IEC 61010 specifies safety requirements for METERS.

The METERS that have a primary purpose of measuring voltage on a live MAINS CIRCUIT are within the scope of this standard. They have various names, but all of them have capability for measurements of voltages on a live MAINS CIRCUIT. Some of the names given to this equipment are as follows:

• MULTIMETER;
• digital MULTIMETER;
• VOLTMETER;
• clamp METER (see also Part 2-032).

For the purpose of this standard, the term METER is used for these HAND-HELD measuring instruments.

NOTE: Parts of the equipment that are not within the scope of this Part 2-033 are considered to be covered by the requirements of Part 1 or other part 2's of IEC 61010 and then will also need to meet the requirements of these other parts.
