Standards and compliance
What we build to, and what you get with every panel
A control panel is only as good as the evidence that it was built and tested properly. These are the standards our panels are designed and verified against, in plain English.
BS EN 61439
Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies
Our declarations of conformity cite BS EN IEC 61439-1:2021, the general rules for low-voltage assemblies, and every panel is routine tested before despatch. Forms of separation (Form 1 to Form 4) are specified per project; Evometrix is available in Form 1 or Form 2.
BS EN 60204-1
Safety of machinery: electrical equipment of machines
Applies to panels controlling pumps, plant and machinery. It sets the rules we follow for earthing (one protective conductor per terminal), conductor identification, emergency stop circuits, isolation and marking.
BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations)
Requirements for electrical installations
The installation standard the panel connects into. It is why our enclosures for domestic applications are non-combustible, and why we specify surge protection where the risk assessment calls for it.
EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
Electromagnetic compatibility
Inverter and PLC panels are built with filtering, screened cable practice and earthing arrangements to limit interference. Our declarations of conformity cite the EMC Directive and BS EN 55014-1 for emissions.
Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and RoHS
Safety of electrical equipment and restricted substances
Our declarations of conformity cite the Low Voltage Directive, the RoHS Directives (2011/65/EU and 2015/863/EU, assessed to BS EN IEC 63000) and, for panels with a router, the Radio Equipment Directive.
ATEX / DSEAR
Equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres
Sewage wet wells are commonly Zone 1 or Zone 2. We fit certified intrinsically safe barriers for floats and level heads in the safe area of the panel, or in a separate barrier box for Telemetrix.
Sewers for Adoption and Design and Construction Guidance
Adoptable pumping stations
Adoptable panels are built to the current guidance and to the amendments and deletions published by United Utilities, Anglian Water and Severn Trent.
