EN 60947-6-1 is a European Standard that specifies requirements for external influences on low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies. This standard addresses the environmental conditions and mechanical stresses that switchgear and controlgear may encounter during operation, installation, and maintenance. It defines the test procedures and performance criteria to ensure that these assemblies can withstand various external influences without compromising safety or functionality. EN 60947-6-1 helps manufacturers, designers, and users ensure that switchgear and controlgear assemblies operate reliably and safely in diverse environmental conditions, thereby enhancing the overall performance and longevity of electrical installations.
