EN 61439-1 lays down definitions and specifies service conditions, construction requirements, technical specifications and verification requirements for low voltage switchgear and control assemblies.

This standard applies to motor starters, fused switches, electronic equipment, etc., in accordance with the relevant product standards. It does not apply to stand-alone devices and stand-alone components, such as

The purpose of this standard is to harmonize, as far as possible, all rules and requirements of a general nature applicable to the group of low voltage switchgear and control equipment, in order to achieve the uniformity of requirements and verification for assemblies and to avoid the need for verification for other standards.

All these requirements for various generally acceptable mounting standards are therefore gathered in this basic standard, with specific topics of wide interest and application, eg. temperature rise, dielectric properties, etc.

A particular assembly standard may not require and therefore need to invoke a general rule where it is not applicable, or may add requirements if the general rule is deemed insufficient in a particular case, but may not deviate from it unless there is an important technical circumstance.
