What is BS EN 61010-2-011-Electrical equipment in refrigerating systems about?
The EN 61010 series is a European Standard that discusses safety requirements for electrical equipment. The EN 61010 specifically addresses the hazards associated with electrical equipment for measurement incorporating heating and refrigerating systems.
BS EN 61010-2-011 is the second part of the series that specifies particular safety requirements for electrical equipment and their accessories, wherever they are intended to be used, whenever that equipment incorporates refrigerating systems whether an integral part of or remote to the equipment and the equipment is in direct control of the refrigerating system.
BS EN 61010-2-011 details all the requirements when up to 150 g of flammable refrigerant are used per stage of a refrigerating system. Additional requirements beyond the current scope of this standard apply if a refrigerant charge of flammable refrigerant exceeds this amount.
Note: Examples for refrigerating equipment include, but are not limited to, laboratory equipment such as laboratory refrigerators, freezers, refrigerated display cabinets, etc.
