This standard covers ratings, construction, and testing of dead-front control switchboards containing, but not limited to, devices such as switches, control devices, instrumentation, metering, monitoring, protective and auxiliary relays, and regulating devices and accessories. It includes, but is not specifically limited to, switchboards for the control and protection of apparatus used for or associated with power generation, conversion, transmission, and distribution. It does not apply to industrial controls, communication equipment, switchboards for use onboard ships, or Class 1E switchboards for use in nuclear generating stations, nor does it address human factor considerations. In this standard, dead-front control switchboards shall be called control switchboards. Revision Standard - Active.
