All the IEC 61439 rules in an original Goody
IEC 61439 Main Rules
The IEC 61439-1&2 standard lays down rules for the responsibility of the original manufacturer (Schneider Electric), assembly manufacturer (panelbuilder) and specifier.
Each of them must deliver items which will meet customers’ needs.
In a nutshell, we have 4 big actors who work together:
1) The Original Manufacturer
The organisation that has carried out the original design and the associated verification of an assembly system. He is responsible for the ‘Design verifications’ listed by IEC 61439-2 including many electrical tests.
2) The PanelBuilder
The organisation (whether or not the same as the OM) responsible for the completed assembly.
He is responsible for ‘Routine verifications’ on each panel produced, according to the standard.
If he derivates from the instructions of the original manufacturer he has to carry out again design verifications.
3) The Specifier
Specifies the needs and constraints for design, installation, operation and upgrading of the complete system.
Checks that its requirements have been fully integrated by the Assembly Manufacturer. Depending on the application, the specifier could be the end-user or a design office.
4) The End-user
Should ask for a certified LV switchboard.
By systematically requesting routine verifications, he ensures that the assembly system used is compliant.
