This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows: 1.1.1 Equipment included in scope Replace the existing text with the following: This group safety publication is primarily intended to be used as a product safety standard for the products mentioned in the scope, but shall also be used by technical committees in the preparation of their publications for products similar to those mentioned in the scope of this standard, in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and lSO/lEC Guide 51. This part of IEC 61010 specifies safety requirements for hand-held multimeters for domestic and professional use, capable of measuring MAINS. Hand-held multimeters are multi-range multifunction measuring instrument intended to measure voltage and other electrical quantities such as resistance or current. Their primary purpose is to measure voltage on a live MAINS. They are suitable to be supported by one hand during NORMAL USE. 1.1.2 Equipment excluded from scope Add the following new item to the list and the following paragraph: aa) IEC 61557 (Parts 1 to 12) Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V a.c. and 1 500 V d.c. – Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring of protective measures HAND-HELD EQUIPMENT such as oscilloscopes, wattmeters, process control multimeters not RATED for measuring voltage on a live MAINS, clamp multimeters and communications test sets are not within the scope of this Part. 1.2.1 Aspects included in scope Add the following two new paragraphs at the end of the subclause: Requirements for protection against HAZARDS resulting from NORMAL USE and REASONABLY FORESEEABLE MISUSE of measuring circuits are given in Clause 101. Requirements for reliance on the displayed value are given in Clause 102.
