Our company manufacturers laboratory equipment so we perform safety tests and evaluation based on EN61010-1 (Safety of Laboratory equipment). My understanding is that we can use components, such as Power Supplies, in our products that has been tested to EN60950 (Safety of IT Equipment) without additional safety evaluation.
Our engineering department wants to use a small water circulation pump (aquarium pump) in one of our products. This pump has the CE mark. The DOC says it was evaluated to EN60335 (Safety of Household electrical appliances). If we use this pump in accordance to the manufacturer's specifications can we use it in a laboratory instrument without additional evaluation or testing of the pump?
