Preface:
This is the second edition of CSA C22.2 No. 61010-2-011, Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use — Part 2-011: Particular requirements for refrigerating equipment, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61010-2-011 (second edition, 2019-03). It supersedes the previous edition published in 2017 as CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-2-011 (adopted IEC 61010-2-011:2016). It is one in a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code.
For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as “CSA C22.2 No. 61010-2-011” throughout.
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:
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
1.1.1 Equipment included in scope
Replacement:
Replace the second paragraph by the following:
This Part 2 of IEC 61010 specifies particular safety requirements for the following types a) to c) of electrical equipment and their accessories, wherever they are intended to be used, whenever that equipment incorporates REFRIGERATING SYSTEMS as an integral part of, or separate from, the equipment and the equipment is in direct control of the REFRIGERATING SYSTEM.
This document details all the requirements when up to 150 g of FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT are used per stage of a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM. Additional requirements beyond the current scope of this document apply if a REFRIGERANT charge of FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT exceeds this amount.
Addition:
Add the following text after the last paragraph:
NOTE 101 Examples for REFRIGERATING EQUIPMENT include, but are not limited to, laboratory equipment such as laboratory refrigerators, freezers, refrigerated display cabinets.
It is possible that all or part of the equipment falls within the scope of one or more other Part 2 standards of IEC 61010 as well as within the scope of this standard. In that case, the requirements of those other Part 2 standards will also apply. In particular, if equipment is intended to be used as a centrifuge, the requirements of IEC 610102020 apply. However, when the equipment incorporates a refrigerating system and a heating function where the combination of the two introduces additional or more severe HAZARDS than if treated separately, then it is possible that IEC 61010-2-012 is applicable instead of this Part 2-011.
See further information in the flow chart (Figure 102) for the selection process and guidance in the Introduction.
1.1.2 Equipment excluded from scope
Addition:
Add the following new item after item j):
or equipment incorporating:
aa) a transcritical REFRIGERANT SYSTEM (system that uses CO2) or a system that uses ammonia (NH3) as the REFRIGERANT.
1.2 Object
1.2.1 Aspects included in scope
Replacement:
Replace the first paragraph by the following:
The object of this document is to ensure that the design and methods of construction of REFRIGERATING EQUIPMENT provide adequate protection for OPERATORS, bystanders, trained service personnel, and the surrounding area against the specific HAZARDS that relate to REFRIGERATING SYSTEMS.
Addition:
Add the following note after the existing note:
NOTE 101 A list of HAZARDS typically associated with REFRIGERATING SYSTEMS and REFRIGERANTS is included in Annex BB.
