Note that this standard has been updated and you may need to meet the requirements set out in AS / NZS IEC 60947.1:2015 Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 1: General rules.
You may need to comply with this standard if you intend to use low voltage switchgear and controlgear.
This purpose of this standard is to harmonise, as far as practicable, all rules and requirements of a general nature applicable to low-voltage switchgear and controlgear in order to obtain uniformity of requirements and tests throughout the corresponding range of equipment and to avoid the need for testing to different standards.
