British Standards Institution

Sector: Sustainability

Overview: Under the direction of PEL/121, is responsible for the UK input into IEC/SC 121A Low-Voltage switchgear and controlgear, whose scope is to prepare international standards for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear equipment for industrial and commercial use rated below or equal to 1 kV a.c and 1,5 kV d.c and CLC/TC 121A Low-Voltage switchgear and controlgear. The scope includes open and enclosed separate equipment as well as combinations of equipment into complete functional units, electromechanical as well as semiconductor (solid state) equipment.
