3. Laboratory Environment
Environmental Conditions
The Agilent ICP-OES instrument is suitable for indoor use only and is
classified suitable under Equipment class I category.
Installation category
The installation category is II, based on IEC61010-1. The installation
category implies the regulation for impulse withstand voltage. It is
also called the ‘Over voltage category’. ‘II’ applies to electrical
equipment with a nominal supply voltage up to 300 V.
Pollution level
The pollution level is 2, based on IEC61010-1. Pollution level
describes the degree to which a solid, liquid or gas that deteriorates
dielectric strength is adhering. ‘2’ applies to a normal indoor
atmosphere, where only non-conductive pollution occurs.
