The UL 61010-2-030:2018 standard specifies safety requirements for equipment that has testing or measuring circuits connected to devices or circuits outside of the equipment itself. This standard is primarily intended to be used as a product safety standard for the mentioned products but can also be used by technical committees in the preparation of their publications for similar products.

The standard covers a wide variety of equipment, including electrical test and measurement equipment, laboratory equipment, and process control equipment that have testing and measuring circuits. These circuits are used to perform various measurement functions such as measuring voltages in other equipment circuits, measuring temperature through thermocouples, measuring force through strain gauges, or injecting voltage for design analysis.

Considering the potential hazards involved in conducting tests and measurements on various conductors, including mains conductors and telecommunication network conductors, this standard requires additional protective measures to ensure the safety of the operator. Annex bb provides considerations for the hazards associated with different tests and measurements.
