What is BS EN IEC 61010-2-120-Safety requirements for machinery aspects of equipment about?
IEC 61010 is a safety standard that discusses safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement control, and laboratory use.
BS EN IEC 61010-2-120 is one of the parts of the multi-series document that specifies the safety requirements for equipment that may present hazards from the power-driven moving parts incorporated in the equipment.
Safety requirements BS EN IEC 61010-2-120 are to be read in conjunction with the IEC 61010-1 requirements.
BS EN IEC 61010-2-120 specifies particular safety requirements for the following types of electrical equipment and their accessories:
- An assembly, fitted with or intended to be fitted with a drive system other than directly applied human or animal effort
- An assembly referred to in item 1), missing only the components to connect it on site or to sources of energy and motion
- An assembly referred to in items 1) and 2), ready to be installed and able to function as it stands only if mounted on a means of transport, or installed in a building or a structure
- Assemblies referred to in items 1), 2) and 3) or partly completed assemblies which, in order to achieve
- An assembly of linked parts or components, at least one of which moves, and which are
- joined together, intended for lifting loads and whose only power source is directly applied human effort.
Who is BS EN IEC 61010-2-120- Safety requirements for machinery aspects of equipment for?
BS EN IEC 61010-2-120 on safety requirements for electrical equipment is relevant to:
- Equipment and machinery manufacturers
- Manufacturers of electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use
- Measurement and testing agencies
- Health and safety authorities
- Regulatory bodies
- Technical committees
Why should you use BS EN IEC 61010-2-120-Safety requirements for machinery aspects of equipment?
The electrical equipment used for measurement, control, and laboratory use has some mechanical power-driven parts that may cause hazards to the equipment and operator.
Best industry guidance by BS EN IEC 61010-2-120 can help you design and develop electrical equipment for measurement to protect any hazard for equipment of personnel involved in the operation of electrical equipment.
By adopting BS EN IEC 61010-2-120, you can manufacture electrical equipment for measurement that meet quality guidelines and are manufactured according to the specified safety requirements.
The purpose of the requirements of BS EN IEC 61010-2-120 is to ensure that hazards to the operator, service personnel, and the surrounding area are reduced to a tolerable level.
