SYNOPSIS

Background

Safety Testing and Compliance Verification for Busways

The International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) 61439 series of standards provides a frame work to meet the needs of all associated stake-holders in today’s Electrical assemblies Global Supply Chain trends (original manufacturer, assembly manufacturer, Component manufacturer, Installer, Specifier and etc.). IEC 61439 series of standards considers a practical approach with multiple design verification options, clearly specifying  the safety and performance requirements for reference and use by  Engineering consultants, Manufacturers, planners, system engineers, testing lab and end users in order to define the protection objectives for people and  plants in electrical installations. This standard has now been widely accepted Globally and more than 25 countries across the world have either adopted, or harmonized their national standards with the IEC 61439 series, making it truly international for testing and certification of assemblies including busways. The IEC 61439 series applies to low-voltage switchgear and control-gear assemblies, for rated voltage up to 1,000 V (AC) and 1,500V(DC).

Market trends and requirements of Busduct in Malaysia

Application of busduct is getting popular in Malaysia. Copper and aluminium busducts are being used to replace cable installation for various applications due to issues on quality of cable termination and jointing and the neat installation of busduct. In Malaysia, IEC standards are commonly used by M&E Consultants as the technical reference when they are “specifying” the technical requirements of the busduct installation. The speaker will share some of his view and experience on the market trends and requirements of busduct as a practicing M&E consultant in various types of project and industry with project from various scale.

Benefits of UL Type Testing and Certification Services.

• Demonstrates Compliance / Verification to applicable safety standard as required by
   Engineering consultants / specifiers and end users.
• UL Type Test Certificates (UL Type Examination Certificate – TEC), Test Reports and
   UL mark certification are well accepted by stakeholders including regulatory organizations,
   Manufacturers, Specifiers and have International Recognition.
• Helps in Risk and Plant Safety Management for specifiers and Installers.
• Type test Flexibility:  Specific type tests can be added or updated depending on
   the needs of the specifier / engineering consultant / end user or based on application
   if additional tests are required later or in case of standards revision in case of UL Selected
   type test programs after UL’s engineering review.

UL mark certification programs to IEC and UL standards consider unique product safety due diligence approach through
• Detailed product construction review / documenting product construction, ratings,
   marking and critical components.
• Follow-up verification of products at manufacturer’s facility through un-announced
   inspections for construction compliance to the ones originally evaluated.
• Mitigation of risk of counterfeits.
• On-line traceability and verification of certification at www.ul.com.

This workshop will provide you with the first hand, real time, industry critical information. It not only covers IEC and UL standards but also address specific topics intended to help you create and/or install safe products, increase efficiency and provide a faster time to market.


Who Should Attend

• Government Building/Electrical Officials and Policy Makers
• Engineering Consultants and Practitioners
• Busways and Switchgear Assembly manufacturers planning for ASEAN and Global Market Access
• Electrical Competent Persons
• Operations and maintenance personnel


Scope

• IEC 61439-6 lays down the definitions and states the service conditions, construction requirements, technical characteristics and verification requirements for low voltage Busbar Trunking System (BTS)
• BTS intended for use in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control of electric energy consuming equipment. IEC 61439-6 applies to all BTS whether they are designed, manufactured and verified on a one-off basis or fully standardized and manufactured in quantity.
