Hi Mike!
EN 60439-1 applies to to low-voltage (up to 1000 VAC and 1500 VDC) switchgear
and controlgear assemblies.
Coming to diesel-generator sets, IMO it applies to all the assemblies
("cabinets") that contain switching devices (circuit-breakers,
switch-disconnectors, fuses, etc.) and/or controlgear and that are a part of
the set.
IEC 439-1 (a direct "ancestor" of EN 60439-1) is enfoced by ("constitutes
provisions of") the "Part 4 - Controlgear and switchgear" of the International
Standard ISO 8528 "Reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating
current generating sets".
I hope this help.
Regards.
