BS EN 61587-1 is the first part of an international standard used for Mechanical structures for electronic equipment. BS EN 61587-1 helps in keeping your environment safe and healthy.
BS EN 61587-1 specifies environmental requirements, test set-up, as well as safety aspects for empty enclosures, i.e., cabinets, racks, subracks, chassis with an integrated subrack, and associated plug-in units under indoor condition use and transportation.
BS EN 61587-1 on Mechanical structures for electronic equipment is useful for:
An electrical enclosure is a cabinet for electrical or electronic equipment to mount switches, knobs and displays. This electrical enclosure is useful in preventing electrical shock to equipment users and helps in protecting the contents from the environment.
BS EN 61587-1 ensures that the cabinets, racks, subracks and chassis can survive under normal conditions while manufacturing, transporting, storing and installing. The climatic test is useful in determining the sustainability of this mechanical structure in different environmental conditions. The mechanical test method specified in BS EN 61587-1 helps in identifying the load-bearing capacity of these mechanical structures that as cabinets, racks, subracks and chassis.
By applying BS EN 61587-1, you can ensure product safety for the end-users. BS EN 61587-1 helps in reducing risk of harm by using eco-friendly materials. BS EN 61587-1 can be your best guide in conducting the test methods that help in keeping your environment clean and safe.
