IEC 61010-1 is a true all-rounder. Whether it is electrical measuring, control or laboratory equipment, for use in industry or medicine - this international series of standards covers it all. It specifies the requirements that must be met to ensure the comprehensive safety of equipment. This includes resistance to mechanical stress or protection against fire.
In order to take into account different applications, product characteristics and target markets, specific standards also apply, such as IEC 61010-2-101 "Particular requirements for in vitro (IV) diagnostic medical devices".
This standard is of particular interest to manufacturers whose products may also be used in the medical sector. With an additional test according to IEC 61010-2-101, you can enter the growing market of IVDs for medical use.
