This standard covers power switchgear equipment that is converted from a qualified design. It provides
direction and guidance in those conversions and specifies required design verification in accordance with
applicable American National Standards Institute (ANSI), National Electrical Manufacturers Association
(NEMA), Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), or IEEE standards.
This standard also recognizes that production/field testing does not provide design verification. It can only
be accomplished by means of design testing and technical evaluation.
