There is no need to throw every safety standard in sight at it. It's not ITE, so 60950 doesn't apply. It's not a household appliance, so 60335 doesn't apply. 60065 is about audio, video and similar electronic apparatus, so formally it doesn't apply to electronic test equipment. Nevertheless, there is some tacit assumption in 61010 that the users have some training, and this may not apply to the home user. So my advice would be to apply 61010 while taking 60065 into account. In particular, prominent warnings about the voltages that may be available and the surface temperatures of the valves/tubes would be prudent. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
