Mcc panels and their Appropriate standard

[Ian1981]

Can anyone tell me if a MCC panel is covered by BSEN 60294 and therefore is excluded from the scope of bs7671 as far as the scope of any inspection and testing of the fixed wiring for the installation?
Thanks.

So for the purpose of inspection and testing, only the wiring supplying the panel is applicable to bs7671 and the associated wiring to motor controls and VSD circuits are excluded from the scope of bs7671 and the fixed wiring testing?
If so then who would a client need to see regarding any inspection and testing of the MCC wiring?

That is basically correct.
BS 7671 excludes equipment covered by the machinery directive as this is covered by EN 60204-1.
BS 7671 clause 110.2 xi is relevant.
I don't think your use of the term MCC is suitable for a machine control panel, as an MCC would be something somewhat different, and is a rare item in modern equipment.
What you are looking at is the machinery control panel.
BS 7671 stops at the incoming side of the main machine isolator, you cannot apply BS 7671 past there.
Yes, the equipment needs to be checked and verified as safe, but that needs to be done against the relevant standard i.e. EN 60204-1.
If you are going to do this, then you'll need a copy of 60204-1 & the normalised references, and then be familiar with the requirements, and those that are considered relevant under PUWER.
Also, make sure that you are insured for machinery as utilised in the environment, some electrical contractors policies exclude manufacturing machinery because of the possibility of costs in the event of failure to perform etc.
Oh and don't forget that you will also need to be familiar with the manufacturers instructions for the equipment fitted because these have greater significance in machinery than they do in the 7671 world.
