IEEE 420:2001 (R2008)

Revision Standard - Superseded.
This standard specifies the design requirements for new and/or modified Class 1E control boards, panels, and racks and establishes the methods to verify that these requirements have been satisfied. Methods for meeting the separation criteria contained in ANSI/IEEE Std 384-1992 are addressed. Qualification is also included to address the overall requirements of ANSI/IEEE Std 323-1983 and ANSI/IEEE Std 344-1987.

This standard applies to the design and qualification of Class 1E control boards, panels, and racks. It does not apply to individual components, modules, and external field-run cables except as they may affect the design and qualification of Class 1E control boards, panels, and racks.
The purpose of this standard is to specify the design requirements for Class 1E control boards, panels, and racks and to establish the methods to verify that these requirements have been satisfied.
