Both involved
in tested assemblies
Assembly System
Tested Assembly
Standard IEC61439
clearly defines
the type of verifications that must be conducted
by both organisations involved in final conformity of
the solution:
theOriginal Manufacturer,
guaranteeing
assembly system
design and
theAssembly
Manufacturer,
responsible for the final conformity
of the switchboard.
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.
Assembly
Manufacturer
(Panel builder)
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.
End-User
Should ask for a certified
LV switchboard.
By systematically requesting
routine verifications,
he ensures that the assembly
system used is compliant.
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.
