IEC 61010-2-034:2023 specifies safety requirements to equipment for measuring insulation resistance and to equipment for testing electric strength which have an output voltage exceeding 50 V a.c. or 120 V d.c. This document also applies to combined measuring equipment which has an insulation resistance measurement function or an electric strength test measurement function. This document has the status of a horizontal publication in accordance with IEC Guide 108. It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) in 1.2.1, requirements for protection against hazards which could occur from reading a voltage have been added to the scope; b) Clause 2, all normative references have been dated; new normative references have been added; c) in 4.3.2.5, requirements for power supply have been modified; d) in 4.3.2.6, requirements for inputs/outputs have been modified; e) in 5.1.5.101.2, minimum ratings for voltage of measuring terminals are required; f) in 5.4.2, new ratings for documentation have been added; g) in 5.4.4, new instructions for operation have been added; h) in 5.101.1, hazard indicators shall be functional in normal condition and in single fault condition; i) in 6.6.101.1, insulating material of group I may be allowed for determination of creepage distances of measuring circuit terminals; j) in 6.6.101.2, Clearances and creepage distances above 1 000 V a.c. and 1 500 V d.c. for measuring circuit terminals in unmated position have been defined; k) in 6.6.101.3, requirements for measuring circuit terminals in partially mated position have been specified; l) in 6.6.101.4, requirements for measuring circuit terminals in mated position have been specified; m) Subclause 6.102 replaces 6.9.103 and has been rephrased; n) new Subclause 9.101 to consider the protection of measuring circuits against the spread of fire and arc flash has been added. Table 102 has been replaced by Table K.101; o) In 9.101.2, relocation of 101.3 of previous edition; p) In 9.101.3, relocation of 101.4 of previous edition, extension to measurement category II and reference to IEC 61000-4-5 for tests; q) in 9.101.4, requirements for measuring circuit terminals in mated position have been specified; r) in 9.101.5, relocation of K.103 of previous edition with numerous technical changes; s) in 14.101, relocation of 14.102. 14.101 of previous edition has been removed; t) in 101.3, relocation of 101.5 of previous edition, and more requirements added against hazard occurring from reading a voltage value; u) in K.2.1, another method for determination of clearances of secondary circuits is proposed; v) in K.3.2, new Table K.15 and Table K.16 for clearance calculation; w) in K.3.101, relocation of 6.9.104 of previous edition; x) in K.101.4.1, new Table K.103 and Table K.104 replace Table K.102, Table K.103 and Table K.104; y) in K.101.4, the subclause has been reviewed. Tables and tests for solid insulation have been modified. Table K.105 replaces Table K.9; z) Table K.101, replacement of Table K.106; aa) Clause K.4, redraft of the clause to propose a method for determination of Ut for circuits which reduce transient overvoltages; bb) Annex EE: addition of a new informative annex for determination of clearances for Table 101.
Abstract
Overview
IEC 61010-2-034:2023 is the IEC group safety publication that defines safety requirements for measurement equipment for insulation resistance and test equipment for electric strength. It applies to equipment with output voltages exceeding 50 V a.c. or 120 V d.c., including combined instruments that perform insulation resistance measurements or electric-strength tests. This second edition (2023) updates and replaces the 2017 edition and is aligned with IEC Guide 108 and IEC Guide 104.
Keywords: IEC 61010-2-034:2023, insulation resistance measurement, electric strength test equipment, safety requirements, measuring equipment
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope & verification: Defines which devices are included/excluded, environmental conditions, and verification procedures.
- Protection against electric shock: Requirements for basic, supplementary and reinforced insulation; limits for accessible parts; and protective bonding.
- Measuring circuit terminals: New and revised requirements for clearances and creepage distances in unmated, partially mated, and mated positions, including tables and new calculation methods.
- Hazard indicators & single-fault condition: Hazard indicators must remain functional in normal and single-fault conditions; tests and sequences for single-fault scenarios are specified.
- Power supply and I/O: Updated requirements for internal power supplies, inputs/outputs and protection against unintended or automatic energising of outputs.
- Marking & documentation: New ratings, documentation and operation instructions requirements to ensure safe use and clear manufacturer information.
- Construction and testing: Voltage test procedures, insulating materials, discharging residual voltages, and limits for accessible voltages and currents.
- Fire and arc-flash protection: New subclauses addressing protection against spread of fire and arc flash in measuring circuits.
- Normative references & alignment: All normative references dated; cross-references to IEC 61010-1 and to EMC/lightning tests such as IEC 61000-4-5 where relevant.
Keywords: clearances, creepage distances, hazard indicator, single fault condition, arc flash, documentation
Applications and who uses this standard
- Manufacturers of insulation resistance testers, high-voltage dielectric (hipot) testers, and combined test/measurement instruments.
- Design and safety engineers responsible for compliance of laboratory and production test equipment.
- Test laboratories, certification bodies, and procurement teams evaluating equipment safety.
- Regulatory and compliance professionals creating safety documentation, manuals and markings.
Practical value: ensures equipment design minimizes electric-shock and fire/arc risks, provides test methods for type and single-fault conditions, and standardizes user instructions and ratings.
