I'm sure it will meet the standard the way they are interpreted. Maybe once things get closer, Dave will fill us in on his take about some of these details. He has certainly reviewed enough meters and done several videos where he mentions fuses, MOVs, GDTs, creepage, clearances, layout...... Should be some what of a multimeter expert. If his goal is to have a product that is robust as a $20 pocket meter, I'm sure he will make it happen.
As far as my guess on how it would do against the meters I have tested, we would have to run one. My track record is not very good. A few examples:
Will the Fluke 87V survive the same transients the Fluke 101, 107, 115, 17B+ survive. My guess would have been a big yes.
Will the AMPROBE AM530 which costs about double the AM510 be able to survive the same levels. My guess was the 530 would far exceed the 510.
Will the UNI-T UT181A, their top of the line meter, survive an low energy ESD event. My guess was all day long.
You think Dave's meter has a chance of surviving at least half way through? Should at least meet the CAT ratings though.
