This is the text of the scope from the standard.
------------- 1.1 Scope and object This International Standard applies to low-voltage switchgear and controlgear ASSEMBLIES (type-tested ASSEMBLIES (TTA) and partially type-tested ASSEMBLIES (PTTA)), the rated voltage of which does not exceed 1 000 V a.c. at frequencies not exceeding 1 000 Hz, or 1 500 V d.c. This standard also applies to ASSEMBLIES incorporating control and/or power equipment, the frequencies of which are higher. In this case, appropriate additional requirements will apply. This standard applies to stationary or movable ASSEMBLIES with or without enclosure. NOTE Additional requirements for certain specific types of assemblies are given in supplementary IEC standards. This standard applies to ASSEMBLIES intended for use in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control of electric energy consuming equipment. It also applies to ASSEMBLIES designed for use under special service conditions, for example in ships, in rail vehicles, for machine tools, for hoisting equipment or in explosive atmospheres, and for domestic (operated by unskilled persons) applications, provided that the relevant specific requirements are complied with. This standard does not apply to individual devices and self-contained components, such as motor starters, fuse switches, electronic equipment, etc. complying with their relevant standards. The object of this standard is to lay down the definitions and to state the service conditions, construction requirements, technical characteristics and tests for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear ASSEMBLIES. ------------- Ted Eckert Regulatory Compliance Engineer American Power Conversion Corporation [email protected] The items contained in this e-mail reflect the personal opinions of the writer and are only provided for the assistance of the reader.

[email protected] 01/11/01 09:41 AM Please respond to Mike Cantwell All, EN 60439-1 is titled "Low-voltage switchgear and control gear asemblies - Part 1: Type-tested and partially type-tested assemblies" and is listed as a harmonized standard under the EMC Directive. Does any one know the scope of this standard ??? If you know the scope, does it apply to diesel - generator sets (or maybe some of it's controls) ?? As always, trying to determine what it is prior to buying it. Any help is appreciated.
