Panel standards

The IEC 61439 standards have increased the requirements for project engineers, electrical installers regarding proper specifications.

Pro-Automatic is ready to provide specialized guidance to engineers, electrical installers and other users in relation to the implementation of the standards. We also hold courses (read more about courses) and offer concrete help with filling out the new specification forms.

As a participant in the national standardization committee since 2007, Pro-Automatic has special expertise in the IEC 61439 series, and all of our production and sales employees are fully trained in the new standards.

Overview of panel standards we work with, which cover Denmark, the EU and the rest of the world:

Panel Specification Forms

In 2025, the Danish Electrical Panel Association (Dansk El‑Tavle Forening) and KASER introduced new panel specification forms, replacing the previous BPS forms.

The forms are available in Danish and are divided into four targeted versions, making it easier to select the correct specification for the specific panel type and the relevant project.

Form 1: Lavspændingstavler – komplet udgave (DS/EN 61439-serien og DS/EN 60204-1)

Form 2: Effektfordelingstavler (DS/EN 61439-2)

Form 3: Lægmandsbetjente fordelingstavler (DS/EN 61439-3)

Form 4: Maskintavler (DS/EN 61439-2 / DS/EN 60204-1)
