Preface:

This is the second edition of CSA C22.2 No. 61010-2-033, Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use — Part 2-033: Particular requirements for hand-held multimeters for domestic and professional use, capable of measuring mains voltage, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61010-2-033 (second edition, 2019-06). It supersedes the previous edition published in 2014 as CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-2-033 (adopted IEC 61010-2-033:2012). It is one in a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code.

This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1:12, Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use — Part 1: General requirements (adopted IEC 61010-1:2010, with Canadian and US deviations); and Amendment 1:2018 to CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1:12 (adopted IEC Amendment 1:2016, with Canadian and US deviations).

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope and object:

1.1.1 Equipment included in scope
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 instruments 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
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 document.

1.2.1 Aspects included in scope
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.
