Compared to the old IEC 60439-X, the new IEC 61439-X standards aim at:
Better covering all ASSEMBLIES, especially the ASSEMBLIES based on ASSEMBLY Systems
Improving safety by clarifying or increasing many requirements
IEC 61439-2 is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61439-1, instead of IEC 60439-1 alone
Tests identical to those in IEC 60439-1 do not need to be repeated
Transitional periods may apply when implemented as regional, e.g. European (*), or national standards
