Defined by a number of key parameters.
Specified by the manufacturer, sometimes by agreement
between the manufacturer and user of the equipment.
These characteristics, for example, may depend upon the
environment in which the equipment is required to operate
and the fault level of the supply to the equipment.
The manufacturer must specify the relevant characteristics
for the relevant type-tests to be conducted by the testing
station.

Pollution degree (cont’d) To evaluate clearances and creepage distances, the
following four degrees of pollution are established. Pollution degree 1
No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs.
Pollution degree 2 Normally, only non-conductive pollution occurs.
Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation may be expected.
Pollution degree 3 Conductive pollution occurs or dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation.
Pollution degree 4 The pollution generates persistent conductivity
caused, for instance, by conductive dust or by rain or snow.

Altitude
Site of installation does not exceed 2 000 m (6 600 ft).
Note: For electronic equipment to be used at altitudes above 1 000 m, it may be necessary to take into account the reduction of the dielectric strength and of the cooling effect of the air.
Electronic equipment intended to operate in these conditions should be designed or used in accordance with an agreement between manufacturer and user.

When the surge comes, the electronic will detect and

At this stage, a little spark is
generated at the needle head

• IEC 61439 provides detail guidelines on how to
prove that assemblies derived from fully type-
tested assemblies comply with the new standard.
• IEC 60439 standard was not so easy to assess
whether partially type tested assemblies are
compliant.
• IEC 61439 standard will specify:
• by testing
• by calculations
• by design rules
New world standard
40
IEC 60439 – Future classification – IEC 61439
Today, due to a lack of clarity of IEC 60439 there is wide
range of interpretations on:
• How to carry out the verification,
• What is the acceptance criteria, and
• How many required number of verifications on
different specimen.

Previous ambiguities have been addressed, e.g. diversity, rating of circuits and substitution of devices.
The standard requires that the performance of every assembly is demonstrated at design and manufacturing stages by a combination of stringent and defined verification processes :–
• proving tests, • inspection, • design rules and/or calculation.

• Tests carried out on devices to their own product

• The new standard fully recognises the use of

• The verification process no longer recognizes the
classifications of TTA. and PTTA., alternative and

definition of fully Type Tested Assemblies (TTA)
and Partially Type Tested Assemblies (PTTA)
have been removed from the standard.
