Hello Andrew, To the best of my knowledge, IEC 61010-1:2001 is not intended to be the base standard for previously existing 61010 part 2's or 3's. The second edition of IEC 61010-1 stands alone until the various parts 2 and 3 are updated and reference the second edition. In my opinion, you are better off in continuing to use the first edition of IEC 61010-1 until the appropriate part 2's and 3's you use are updated to the second edition and the first amendment to the second edition is published.

Cord anchorages shall meet the following requirements a)...d) e) A compression bushing shall not be used as a cord anchorage unless it has provision for clamping all types and sizes of MAINS supply cords which meet the requirements of 6.10.1 and are suitable for connection to the TERMINALS provided, or the bushing has been designed to terminate a screened MAINS supply cord. f)... I would interpet this as follows: If the bush has been designed to accept a screened cable then it is ok for the bush to accept only a specific cable type which should be specified. Otherwise the bush must be capable of accepting any mains cable which has the neccessary voltage/current rating and will be suitable for the terminals provided. However in IEC61010-3-1 first edition 1997-07 conformity verification report for IEC 61010-1 there is a quite different interpretation. This document is basically a sample test report sheet for IEC61010-1. It is based on earlier versions of 61010-1 with ammendments 1 and 2 added. Here we have: 6.10.2.2 cord anchorages compression bushing: a) clamps all types and sizes of mains cords and b) is suitable: 1) for connection to TERMINALS provided or 2) it is designed for screened mains cord. I know that this document refers to an earlier version of 61010. However 1997 edition is still the only one listed on IEC website. I do not currently have access to an earlier version of 61010-1 to look at, but the interpretation above seems so anti- common sense that I am doubtful that it was faithful to the earlier version of the standard. So bottom line is: is my understanding of the current requirements of EN61010-1 6.10.2 correct? Secondly and out of curiosity does anyone know why IEC61010-1-3 1997 seems to contradict this?
