Colleagues

I recently attended a UK FAT  test of a piece of equipment and opened one of the on machine panels to find very poor wiring standards.
My initial reaction was horror as this is a brand new piece of equipment, but as I punched further into the requirements and standards I couldn't find significant fault ?
Is there a national standard for quality of panel build that on machine panels should be measured against?

I am giving a little away by admitting I've consulted 60204 & 60204 part 32 and it becomes a matter of opinion in certain areas.

However for a newly supplied piece of equipment to be CE UKCA marked for industrial use I'm a little shocked by the suppliers remarks that its their standard "of the shelf" quality standard for new equipment. ?

When challenged the supplier seemed quite confident in the quality provided so assume had been challenged previously.

I could pick up some on machine wiring issues versus the 18th edition but I'm a little stumped:-
BS EN 61439 (many parts) 2009 - 2012 Low-voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies
BS 5424 Parts 2 and 3, also IEC 60158 part 3 1985 - 1988 Specification for low voltage control gear
BS EN 60947 Parts 1-8 2001 - 2011 Specification for low voltage switch gear and control gear
