Boards, consoles, cabinets and other bases, equipped with electrical switching etc. apparatus, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR governs foreground data packages for complete low-voltage boards, consoles, cabinets and other equipped bases that switch, protect, control or distribute electricity at a declared rated voltage not exceeding 1,000 V. It covers fixed or movable, enclosed or open assemblies for industrial, commercial, infrastructure, photovoltaic, energy-storage interconnection and residential applications when the delivered product is a complete equipped assembly.

The data package must describe the actual configuration. A bare enclosure, one switching device, one part, or one residential distribution board must not be used as a proxy for this whole heterogeneous category. The CPC voltage ceiling remains 1,000 V even where a referenced technical standard has a wider DC scope.

The foreground manufacturing boundary begins when purchased materials, fabricated parts and apparatus are received at the assembly site and ends with the complete tested assembly and its delivery packaging at the declared dispatch gate. Upstream production of purchased inputs is linked through separate datasets. Distribution, installation, operation, maintenance and end-of-life are separate scenario modules unless the study explicitly brings them into scope.

boundary_category_exclusions	category applicability	Reject empty enclosures, single apparatus and assemblies above the CPC voltage ceiling; a residential distribution board may represent only its declared subtype, not the entire category.	un-cpc-v3-46213; iec-62208-2023; iec-61439-3-2024
