A switchboard must comply with the requirements of standard IEC 60439-1 to
guarantee the safety and reliability of the installation.
Managers of installations, fully aware of the professional and legal liabilities weighing
on their company and on themselves, demand a high level of safety for the electrical
installation.
What is more, the serious economic consequences of prolonged halts in production
mean that the electrical switchboard must provide excellent continuity of service,
whatever the operating conditions.
The Schneider Electric solution
specify switchboards that comply with standard IEC 60439-1
guarantee a level of safety that has been 100% tested, from the day the
switchboard is installed and throughout its service life
ensure a lasting investment through easy upgrading of the installation in
compliance with the standard
guarantee that the switchboard complies with the technical specifications.

Prisma Plus tested switchboards
The conformity of the switchboard has been tested and proven.
A Prisma Plus switchboard is:
made up of Schneider Electric low-voltage devices and components that all
comply with the applicable standards
based on configurations in our catalogue
made up of Prisma Plus mechanical and electrical components that have been
subjected to the seven "type" tests required by the standard
mounted and wired by a pane builder in compliance with professional standards
subjected to the three routine tests required by the standard.
Schneider Electric makes available to the pane builder everything required to create
tested Prisma Plus switchboards, including the basic configurations in the low-
voltage distr bution catalogue, all the documentation for switchboard design and
mounting, calculation and design software, etc.
Pane builders can demonstrate conformity with standard IEC 60439-1 by presenting
the declarations or certificates of conformity for type tests carried out by independent
laboratories ( ASEFA, ASTA, KEMA, etc.) and supplied by Schneider Electric.
The panelbuilder is responsible for the three routine tests and delivers the
corresponding declarations of conformity.
