Hand-held multimeters are multi-range multifunction measuring instruments intended to measure voltage and other electrical quantities such as resistance or current. Their primary purpose is to measure voltage on a live MAINS. They are suitable to be supported by one hand during NORMAL USE. 1.1.2 Equipment excluded from scope Add the following new item to the list and the following paragraph: aa) IEC 61557 (all parts), Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC – Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring of protective measures HAND-HELD EQUIPMENT such as oscilloscopes, wattmeters, process control multimeters not RATED for measuring voltage on a live MAINS, clamp multimeters and communications test sets are not within the scope of this document. 1.2.1 Aspects included in scope Replace item c) of the second paragraph with the following new item c): c) spread of fire or arc flash from the hand-held multimeters (see Clause 9); Replace the third paragraph with the following two new paragraphs: Requirements for protection against HAZARDS arising from NORMAL USE, REASONABLY FORESEEABLE MISUSE and ergonomic factors are specified in Clause 16 and Clause 101. Annex BB provides guidance to equipment manufacturers on HAZARDS that should be considered for equipment intended for performing tests and measurements on hazardous conductors, including MAINS conductors and telecommunication network conductors. This Standard applies to the above-noted equipment that is intended to be installed or used in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I. General requirements applicable to the above-noted equipment are provided in CSA C22.2 No. 0.
