-&-s. Test probes& Leads . “ Important“ p/45.

-&-s. The product standard for test probes &leads is [ BS-EN-61010-031 ]

-&-s. Test probes & leads for use in conjunctionwith a . Voltmeter . Multimeter . Electricians test lamp : Voltage indicator .
In addition to the requirements of [ BS-EN-61010-031 ] Safety requirements for electrical equipmentfor measurements . control . &laboratory use . test probes & leads should comply with the recommendations given in HSE . GN-38

Testinstruments :

Alltest instruments should be safe . the current safety standard is BS-EN-61010 : Safetyrequirements for electrical equipment for measuring . control . &laboratory use . All new equipment should comply with this . or an equivalentstandard . Equipment pre-dating this standard is not necessarily unsafe .

question 27 is pony.. does not state type of circuit
Doesn't need to. In fact the question doesn't even need to qualify the earthing system, technically, the answer is the same in all cases.
Now question 6, that's pony.
According to that answer, you would not be able to bring an installation up to the current Regulations, unless it already comformed.

Classes of Equipment .

CoP :
17[SUP]th[/SUP] Edition .

Definitions : p/25 Class 1 :Class 11 : Class 111 :

p/287 : BS-EN-61140 : 2002 . Protection against electric shock .Common aspects for installation & equipment . Part . 2

Class 1 . equipment . Equipment in which protection againstelectric shock does not rely on “ Basic Insulation Only “ but which includes means for the connection of exposed-conductive-partsto a protective conductor in the fixed wiring of the installation – BS-EN-61140 .

The safety earthing terminal of a Class 1 equipment . which is connected to the exposed-conductive-parts . is normally indicated by the symbol .

Safety earthing terminal of Class 1 equipment .



Symbol for safety earthing terminal

Exposed-conductive-parts . must be connected to the ( MET) of the electrical installation be means of the . circuit protective conductor. of the circuit supplying equipment . BS-7671:2011 Section – 411 .

In . addition it is essential that within the installationthere is . co-ordination between the characteristics of the relevant protectivedevice which affords fault protection & the Earth Fault LoopImpedance ( Ze ) of the circuit .

Classes of Equipment .

Class II1 . Equipment. p/25
In which protection against shock relies on . supply at (SELV ) & in which voltages higher than those higher than of ( SELV ) arenot generated – BS-EN-61140 .

Construction forClass 111 equipment are less stringentthan for Classes 1 . & 11 . as protection against electric shock isprovided by a reduction in . supply voltage to . Extra-low . & by a high degree of separation fromhigher voltage circuits from Earth .

If Class 111 equipment is fitted with a flexible cord & a plug for connection tothe ( SELV ) supply source . the plugmust not be [ dimensionally ] compatiblewith those used for any other system in the same premises . & must not havea protective conductor contact - Regulation 414.4.3. refers .

CoP :
Class 111 equipment should bear the construction mark . & safety transformer symbol .
