1 Scope

This document defines the specific requirements of ACS as follows:

• assemblies for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1 000 V in case of AC or 1 500 V in case of DC;

• assemblies where the nominal primary voltage and the nominal secondary voltage of transformers incorporated in ACS are within the limits specified above;

• assemblies intended for use on construction sites, both indoors and outdoors, i.e. temporary places of work to which the public do not generally have access and where building construction, installation, repairs, alteration or demolition of property (buildings) or civil engineering (public works) or excavation or any other similar operations are carried out;

• transportable (semi-fixed) or mobile assemblies with enclosure.

The manufacture and/or assembly can be carried out by an entity other than by the original manufacturer (see 3.10.1 of IEC 61439‑1:2020).

This document does not apply to individual devices and self-contained components, such as motor starters, fuse switches, electronic equipment, etc. which will comply with the relevant product standards.

This document does not apply to assemblies for use in the administrative centres of construction sites (offices, cloakrooms, meeting rooms, canteens, restaurants, dormitories, toilets, etc.).

Requirements for electrical protection provided by equipment manufactured according to this document are given in IEC 60364‑7‑704.
