Full title and description
IEC 61439-7:2022 — Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies - Part 7: Assemblies for specific applications such as marinas, camping sites, market squares, electric vehicle charging stations. This part of the IEC 61439 series defines specific construction, performance and verification requirements for assemblies intended for public/outdoor and similar sites and for electric vehicle charging station assemblies (Mode 3 and Mode 4).
Abstract
IEC 61439-7:2022 specifies requirements for low-voltage assemblies with rated voltages up to 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC that are intended for use in marinas, camping sites, market squares and comparable public or temporary installations, and for electric vehicle charging station assemblies incorporating the relevant EV conductive-charging functionality. The 2022 edition is a technical revision of the 2018 edition.
General information

- Publication date: 7 July 2022.
- Publisher: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
- ICS / categories: 29.130.20 (Low voltage switchgear and controlgear).
- Edition / version: Edition 2.0 (2022).
- Number of pages: 74 pages (official IEC publication).
Scope
IEC 61439-7:2022 applies to stationary or movable low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies with enclosures whose rated voltage does not exceed 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC. It covers assemblies intended for the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electrical energy and for control of electrical equipment that are expected to be used by ordinary persons in public/outdoor situations (marinas, camping sites, market squares and similar), including temporary installations, and assemblies intended for electric vehicle conductive charging stations (AEVCS) for Mode 3 and Mode 4 charging. The standard is intended to be read in conjunction with IEC 61439-1 (general rules).
Key topics and requirements
- Application-specific construction and performance requirements for assemblies used in public/outdoor and temporary installations (mechanical resistance, ingress protection, corrosion resistance and impact resistance).
- Requirements and test severities for mechanical resistance classifications of stationary assemblies to ensure suitability for exposed and public environments.
- Verification and testing provisions (temperature-rise, dielectric properties, short-circuit withstand, mechanical endurance) adapted to the application-specific stresses.
- Specific provisions for electric vehicle charging station assemblies (AEVCS) integrating conductive-charging requirements in line with IEC 61851-1.
- Requirements addressing use by ordinary persons (marking, accessibility, protection against electric shock and clearly defined user interfaces).
Typical use and users
This standard is used by manufacturers of low-voltage assemblies and enclosures, design engineers, test laboratories, certification bodies and national standards organizations to design, verify and certify assemblies intended for marinas, camping sites, market squares and public/outdoor locations, as well as for electric vehicle charging station equipment suppliers and integrators. It is also referenced by installers and specifiers responsible for public and temporary electrical distribution and EV charging infrastructure.
Related standards
IEC 61439-7:2022 is part of the IEC 61439 series and must be used together with IEC 61439-1 (General rules) for conformity assessment. It also references EV charging system requirements in IEC 61851-1 for conductive charging modes. Other parts of the 61439 series (Parts 2–6 and beyond) and relevant product standards and national adoptions may apply depending on the assembly type and intended use.
