EN 61439 / IEC 61439 / VDE 0660-600
The EN 61439 standard series replaced the EN 60439 standard series. The
EN 61439 standard series has the goal of harmonising the rules and requirements
for low-voltage switching equipment combinations.
The valid part of the EN 61439 standard series is always the applicable part of
the standard, e.g. EN 61439-6 for busbar trunking systems (busways) together
with Part 1 of the standard (EN 61439-1).
