Why IEC 61439 have to replace over IEC 60439?
Reasons for the New Series of Standards EN (IEC) 61439

With the EN (IEC) 61439 the series of standards for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies
was radically revised and restructured. The main reasons for this were the following key points of criticism
about the pre norm EN (IEC) 60439:
Difficult to understand and execute.

o Grey areas leading to subjective interpretations
o Poor structured content
New Block Concept with
TTA / PTTA dilemma. Design and Routine Operate &
Verification maintain
o Misinterpreted categories
o Limited applicability
o Useless classification for end customers

o Product standard and
o General requirements for all other standards of this series Grid Electrical circuit
connection and consumers
Some manufacturer and specific market segments are ignoring the EN (IEC) 60439.

IEC 61439-0 Technical Reports.
With the EN (IEC) 61439 the series of

standards for low-voltage switchgear and
controlgear assemblies was radically
revised and restructured.
The Purposes of IEC61439-0 are to

reduce additional technical clarification by
integrated other related standard and
closed the topic of original manufacture
certificated by “User may be original
manufacture or other manufacture on
behalf (licenses or delegated
manufacturers)”
- The IEC 61439-0 Technical Reports are identify scope of test area, definition of the
testing, Type of Installation, Storage and Handling, Maintenancee and Upgrade,
Current capability, ASSEMBLY design and routine verification processes .

IEC 61439-1 General Rules.
The IEC 61439-1 General Rules are

combination of over than 50 international
standard, which refer to the standards
which related to total product life cycle of
Low Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear.
The purpose of the standard to avoid the

verification to other standard with new
condition are “Tests Verifications”,
“Derivation” and “Assessment by
engineering rules”
- The IEC 61439-1 General Rules is a back bone of IEC 61439 standard, because it
have identify term and definitions of Low Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear,
Symbols and abbreviations, Test Limitation, Definition of Tests Verification,
Derivation and Assessment.
Forms of internal separation





Black Box Concept.
Design and Routine Verification
Design verification
“Verification made on a sample of an assembly or on parts of assemblies to show that the design meets the requirements of the relevant assembly standard”
[EN (IEC) 61439-1; 3.9.1].
Design verifications can be provided by the following equal methods:
Testing Derivation Assessment

Electrical, mechanical comparison with a tested Checking calculation and
and thermal reference design design rules
⇓ The manufacturer is in charge to choose the allowed verification options
“Design verifications” are replacing and extending “type tests”.
Routine verification
Verification about the compliance to the relevant assembly standard which has to be performed for every completed assembly.
“Routine verifications” are replacing “routine tests” without significant changes.

[EN (IEC) 61439-1; 10.10.3]
For InA > 1600A temperature-rise verifications according to EN (IEC) 61439 have to be provided by testing and derivations; assessments via
calculation are only allowed for assemblies up to 1600A.
Short-circuit withstand strength
Testing Derivation
Only if the worst variant of an assembly was tested, the results of these tests can
be used for verification of favorably variants by derivation.
The short-circuit withstand strength according to EN (IEC) 61439 can be certificated by derivation for parts of an assembly if the worst variant
was tested before.
