    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Includes the Principle Elements of the Safety Objectives for Electrical Equipment Designed for Use within Certain Voltage Limits (LVD - 2006/95/EC).

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    IEC 61010-2-033:2012 specifies safety requirements for METERS. The METERS that have a primary purpose of measuring voltage on a live MAINS CIRCUIT are within the scope of this standard. They have various names, but all of them have capability for measurements of voltages on a live MAINS CIRCUIT. Some of the names given to this equipment are as follows:
    - MULTIMETER;
    - digital MULTIMETER;
    - VOLTMETER;
    - clamp METER (see also Part 2-032).
    For the purpose of this standard, the term METER is used for these HAND-HELD measuring instruments.

    This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61010-1:2010.
