Safety of Electrical Equipment
In accordance with EN 61010-1/IEC 61010-1  
Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use –  
Part 1: General requirements
Electromagnetic Compatibility
In accordance with EN 61326-1/IEC61326-1  
Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use –  
EMC requirements – Part 1: General requirements
Defined immunity to interference: Suitable for use in industrial areas
Limitation of emissions: Class B [suitable for use in residential areas and areas that are connected to a low voltage network 
that (also) supplies residential buildings]. Therefore, the analyzer can be used in both areas.
