[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 531020, member: 9512"] Apart from the fact that whilst the enclosures and breakers may well be tested individually. They are also tested as an assembly, else they are not compliant. So this is why the final assembly is important, enclosure and protective devices. So, yes mixing the brand of breakers WILL invalidate the compliance of the assembly. You are modifying the type tested assembly by fitting components together which are not tested as part of an assembly, thus, no longer compliant, thus no longer the product it was, thus the installer becomes the manufacturer of the assembly. So unless the installer CE marks the assembly it is not legal to be placed on the market. [/QUOTE]
