Who can produce LV switchboards?
To answer this question, a premise must be made to avoid the risk of misunderstanding each other.
Perhaps the more appropriate question should be: what do the regulations state about who can build LV (low voltage) switchboards?
Put in this way, it can first of all be said that in the existing regulatory framework there is no clear indication of a specific professional qualification to be possessed, by those who intend to engage in this work. So you don’t have to have special qualifications, but…

Questions that users ask for information on this topic are also of the type:
- What is the name of the people who make electrical panels?
- Who can make low-voltage switchboards?
- What to put in the household electrical panel?
- How to certify an ASC framework?
- What should a legally compliant electrical system look like?
Producing LV switchboards
The level of complexity in the construction of switchboards is that represented by the obligation to affix the manufacturer’s name and CE marking on the product, which is necessary to declare and certify the conformity of switchboards, with respect to the current reference standard: the CEI EN 61439-1/2/3/4 standard.
After the last revision of the low-voltage switchgear standards, CEI (Comitato Elettrotecnico Italiano) took care to prepare a new Technical Guide, CEI 121-5 entitled “Guide to the standards applicable to low-voltage switchgear and legislative references,” which obviously replaced the previous guide.
The guide contains all the necessary documentation, including two examples of making distribution boards with current ratings of 630 A and 1600 A, respectively.
All practitioners can refer to the Guide for the steps needed to design, construct and verify, the frameworks, with directions for making:
- the picture front
- the patterns
- input data
- declarations of conformity
- design checks
- overtemperature calculations
- the testing of the framework
Finally, there is no shortage of commissioning and maintenance instructions.
Civil liability
…But all this is not enough, because in order to produce electrical switchboards bisoPna possess very specific characteristics with reference to the ability to be able to take on related responsibilities.
For the purpose of determining the appropriate profile of responsibility , it must be possible to demonstrate the possession of skills, abilities and technical-scientific experience, effectively proportional to the complexity of the activity itself.
So the answer to the question of who can build low-voltage switchboards is that anyone can do so who, in addition to following the directions and dictates of the regulations, can demonstrate to buyers that they have all the features to guarantee a safe and quality product.

In conclusion
The certification of conformity to be issued by the manufacturer is of real value only if the person issuing it is able to be able to demonstrate that he or she has the technical-scientific skills, abilities and experience and can assume the responsibilities consequent on the performance of a complex and very risky activity.
We at Secsun have been in the electrical industry for more than 80 years, and thanks to our skilled technicians we produce electrical panels in compliance with current standards, ensuring competence, warranty and safety for the users of our products.
