Hello all, The reason why UL has split IEC 61010-1 into two standards (UL 3101-1 and 3111-1) has to do with the Instrument Society of America (ISA). The US National Standard for Laboratory Equipment has been owned by UL while the US National Standard for Test and Measurement Equipment has been owned by ISA. It turns out that ISA S82.01 is the US National Standard for T&M Equipment while the last time a saw it, UL 3101-1 was in the process to become the US National Standard for Laboratoty Equipment, replacing UL 1262.

Yet to find a difference. UL3101-1 Electrical Equipment for Laboratory Use - General Requirements UL3111-1 Electrical Measuring and Test Equipment - General Requirements. UL3111-1 is the UL version of IEC1010 when it comes to electrical test equipment, e.g. a DVM. Do not ask me why UL in it's infinite wisdom thought they needed two identical standards Probably to make you two inspection fees on two Files. !!!
