IEC 61439 Guide

To help with understanding the full ramifications of the new IEC 61439, we have produced an easy to understand, yet comprehensive IEC 61439 Guide to the new series of standards.

The Guide covers every aspect of IEC 61439 in a logical sequence and includes technical detail where appropriate. At the end of the Guide there are useful look up tables that will prove invaluable when assessing your specific panels and assemblies.

This guide includes:

	Background of the standards The new series of low-voltage assembly standards will be numbered IEC 61439, a single digit change that belies fundamental changes in the structure and format of the standards.
	Fundamental changes The review of the IEC 60439 series of standards has had to make a series of radical changes. A number of the old standards have been discarded in better meet the low-voltage assembly market’s needs.
	Guidance on producing an assembly specification User defined functions & characteristics, standard arrangements and accompanying guidance notes to enable production of assemblies that comply with the new standards
