IEC 61010-1 Measurement, Control & Laboratory Equipment Safety Testing

Compatible Electronics is NVLAP-accredited (Lab Code 200527-0) for IEC 61010-1 safety testing — the general requirements standard for electrical equipment used in measurement, control, and laboratory settings — at our Lake Forest/Silverado location across multiple editions including the FDA ASCA-recognized Ed. 3.1.

NVLAP Lab Code 200527-0 IEC 61010-1 Ed. 3.0 / 3.1 EN 61010-1:2010+A1:2019 FDA ASCA — IEC 61010-1 Ed. 3.1 Lake Forest

What is IEC 61010-1?

IEC 61010-1 establishes safety requirements for electrical equipment used for measurement, control, and laboratory purposes — covering protection against electric shock, fire, mechanical hazards, radiation, and chemical hazards. It applies to equipment used in industrial laboratories, production facilities, research environments, and clinical settings.

IEC 61010-1 is harmonized under the EU Low Voltage Directive as EN 61010-1 and is required for CE marking of laboratory and measurement instruments. For EMC requirements of measurement equipment, IEC 61326 EMC testing applies. See also our measurement equipment safety overview and medical device IEC 61010-1 page.

💡 FDA ASCA: IEC 61010-1 Ed. 3.1 (FDA#19-34) is within our FDA ASCA accreditation — enabling accelerated 510(k) submissions for applicable in-vitro diagnostic and laboratory medical devices.
