Electrical Equipment Testing & IEC 61010 Compliance

Testing and certification for electrical equipment used in measurement, control, and laboratory applications, aligned with IEC 61010 safety requirements.

Electrical equipment used for measurement, control, and laboratory applications must meet defined safety requirements before it can be used or sold. These requirements are designed to reduce risks such as electric shock, fire, and unsafe operation under normal or fault conditions.

 QAI provides testing and certification services to support compliance with IEC 61010 requirements for a wide range of electrical equipment. Whether you are developing a new product or preparing an existing design for certification, we support your team through the process with practical guidance, testing, and documentation aligned with applicable standards and market requirements.

Equipment Covered Under IEC 61010

QAI supports testing and certification of electrical equipment within the scope of IEC 61010, including equipment used in measurement, control, and laboratory environments. This includes products used in manufacturing, industrial processes, research, and field applications.

Rather than focusing on individual device types, IEC 61010 applies broadly to categories of equipment, including:

• Test and measurement equipment
• Industrial process control equipment
• Laboratory and analytical equipment
• Related accessories and integrated test systems

These categories may cover a wide range of products depending on their function, configuration, and intended use. Equipment may also be integrated into larger systems or manufacturing processes, where safety requirements still apply.

Multimeter testing keeps measurement equipment safe and reliable

Process control equipment tested under real industrial conditions

Lab and analytical instruments verified for safe operation

Accessories and integrated systems tested to the same standard

Support for North America and International Market Access

For products entering the United States market, certification may be required through a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory program. This process includes both product evaluation and ongoing factory follow up activities to confirm continued compliance.

For products entering the Canadian market, QAI supports certification activities recognized by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), helping you meet applicable Canadian safety and compliance requirements.

For international markets, testing to IEC 61010 supports broader regulatory requirements and may be used as part of certification programs such as CE marking or CB Scheme certification, depending on the product and target market.
