Note 1 according to IEC 62271-200:
Switching devices forming part of the main circuit and earthing switches of
assemblies shall be tested to verify their rated making and breaking capacities
according to the relevant standards and under the proper conditions of installation
and use. That is, they shall be tested as normally installed in the assembly with all
associated components that may influence the performance, such as connections,
supports, provisions for venting. These tests are not necessary if making and
breaking tests have been performed on the switching devices installed in assemblie
with identical or more onerous conditions.
All switching devices not previously tested as mounted in the assembly, shall be operated 50
times C-O, mounted in the assembly. Test conditions and criteria to pass the test are identical
to the ones defined on each corresponding switching device standard for mechanical tests.

Date: 26-10-2021
Where possible, the tests should be performed on a complete system. If this is not practical, the
test may be performed on parts, components or subassemblies.
Auxiliary and control circuits of switchgear and controlgear shall be subjected to

electromagnetic emission/immunity tests if they included electronic equipment or components
in other cases no test are required
The type test for [M] module shall be according to IEC 62271-200 and shall include tests
number
1. Rated Insulation level.
2. Measurement of the resistance of circuits
3. Rated contionus current and measurement of the resistance of circuits
4. Capability of the main and earthing circuits to be subjected to the rated peak and
rated Short-time withstand currents
5. IP protection code.
6. IK Protection degree
7. Tightness of gas – or liquid- filled compartments.
8. IAC classification
9. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
