Sicherheitsbestimmungen für elektrische Mess-, Steuer-, Regel- und Laborgeräte - Teil 2-081: Besondere Anforderungen an automatische und semiautomatische Laborgeräte für Analysen und andere Zwecke (IEC 61010-2-081:2015); Deutsche Fassung EN 61010-2-081:2015
Overview
This standard is used together with DIN EN 61010-1 (VDE 0411-1):2011-07 and applies to automatic and semi-automatic laboratory equipment for analysis and other purposes. Automatic and semi-automatic laboratory equipment consists of instruments or systems for measuring or modifying one or more characteristics or parameters of samples, performing the complete process or parts of the process without manual intervention. Equipment forming part of such a system is within the scope of this standard. Examples of equipment within the scope of this standard include: - analytical equipment; - automatic sampler (pipettor, aliquoter); - equipment for sample replication and amplification. The responsible committee is DKE/K 913 "Sicherheitsanforderungen an typische Geräte, Einrichtungen und Systeme für Labor und Unterricht" ("Safety requirements for typical apparatus, equipment and systems for laboratory and teaching purposes") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
