That part's true.
--- Quote from: stj on July 21, 2017, 03:56:38 pm ---the CAT ratings are only for reading voltage.
*and i'm pretty sure they dont cover the ability to do something stupid like spining the rotary switch while the leads are hot.

This part? You made it up.
CAT ratings do cover doing stupid things like spining<sic> the rotary switch while the leads are hot.

Do you have a reference for your definite statement? IEC 61010-1 2nd edition is directly contradicting your statement (see attachment). I do not have access to the third edition, so feel free to post a quote if they relaxed that requirement. I do not believe the impulse voltage tests have to be applied at the current inputs, only the maximum rated voltage (i.e. 1000 V DC and AC in this case).

What is the full title of the document you have?
I have found the general part of 61010-1, 3rd ed, but there are several parts.

In the second edition, the test and measurement section was still part of 61010-1. In the third edition, it was moved to IEC 61010-2-030, so it would not be included in the document you linked. IEC 61010-2-033 may also be relevant.
Nusa:
In the case of the CAT markings on the AN8008, the ratings are clearly not claimed for the fused A/mA input jack, so there's no requirement for fuses to meet that rating. I think you're arguing about a moot point.
