1Strength of material and parts:10.2
Resistance to corrosion  10.2.2CompliantThe resistance to corrosion was tested using a representative samples.
Plus ES report; 103687.
Thermal stability (relates to non-metal enclosures)  10.2.3.1N/AThis clause refers mainly to plastic enclosures.
Resistance to abnormal heat and fire (due to internal electric effect)  10.2.3.2CompliantAll insulating materials supplied have been tested to 960ºC glow-wire Standard.
T†VRheinland report 50233558 006.
Resistance to ultra-violet (UV) radiation  10.2.4CompliantUV ratings refer mainly to plastic enclosures however metal Powder-coat painted enclosures incorporates UV stabilization. AksoNobel report; 20LSR178
Lifting  10.2.5N/ALifting is verified by test, if required. Generally this relates to larger switchboards to which lifting means (lugs) have been provided.
Mechanical Impact  10.2.6CompliantIK10; Metal enclosure systems have been tested to exceed IK10 (20 Joules).
Marking  10.2.7AssemblerMarkings must be verified by test. Tests are performed by rubbing with water and petroleum spirits; generally done by the Switchboard Builder (Assembler).
2Degree of protection of enclosures (IP)10.3CompliantIP43/IP66; Ingress Protection (IP) rating needs to be verified by test or by assessment. SIMTARS report; NE13/0052
3Clearances10.4CompliantClearance and creepage can only be verified by test. Switchboard Builders (Assembler) must maintain compliance by ensuring correct clearance and creepage distances are maintained at >8mm (Uimp=8kV)
4Creepage distances10.4Compliant
5Protection against electric shock and integrity of protective circuits10.5
Effective continuity between the exposed conductive parts of the ASSEMBLY and the protective circuit   10.5.2CompliantEquipotential protective earth bonding points are required to be verified by test to less than 0.1ohm. Similar enclosure designs have been tested by Plus ES report; 103687
Short-circuit withstand strength of the protective circuit   10.5.3CompliantThe Universal Panelboard Series are generally understood to be fitted with equipment making the switchboard not exceed 10kA prospective short-circuit withstand rating. Chassis has been tested independently to 25kA for 0.1s, see T†V Rheinland report 19301651 003
6Incorporation of switching devices and components10.6AssemblerPoints 6, 7 and 8 are largely the responsibility of the Switchboard builder (Assembler). It is a requirement that the Assembler follow guidance from the original manufacturer. The advice of original manufacturers such as B&R and switchgear manufacturers, needs to be adhered to. Switchboard Builders need to be aware of the StandardÕs requirements for these verification points and incorporate these into complete design verification documentation.
7Internal electrical circuits and connections10.7Assembler
8Terminals for external conductors10.8Assembler
9Dielectric Properties10.9
Power-frequency withstand voltage  10.9.2CompliantThe Universal Panelboard Series of enclosures are provided as a basic empty enclosure with an MCB chassis provided. Power-frequency type testing has been conducted at Uimp 6kV. See T†V Rheinland report 19301651 001.
Impulse withstand voltage  10.9.3Compliant
10Temperature-rise limits10.1Designer or AssemblerTemperature-rise can be determined by test or by comparison or by calculation. The Universal Panelboard Series of enclosures are rated to a maximum of 250A and therefore AS/NZS 60890 should be used at a rated diversity factor of no more than 80% (RDF 0.8).
11Short circuit withstand strength10.11CompliantThe Universal Panelboard Series are generally understood to be fitted with equipment making the switchboard not exceed 10kA prospective short-circuit withstand rating. Chassis has been tested independently to 25kA for 0.1s, see T†V Rheinland report 19301651 003.
12Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)10.12AssemblerEquipment installed in switchboards shall comply with the immunity requirements of the relevant product or generic EMC standard. The Switchboard builder (assembler) shall obtain from the device and or component manufacturer the specific performance criteria of the equipment based on the acceptance criteria given in the relevant standard.
13Mechanical operation10.13AssemblerThis verification testing need NOT be done on devices already been type tested according to their relevant product standard. Only if their mechanical operation has been modified does the assembly need to be retested by cycling it 200 times.
