Frequently asked questions
What is the Low Voltage Directive?
Directive 2014/35/EU covers electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits and sets safety-focused market requirements.
Is LVD the only rule that may apply to electrical equipment?
No. EMC, RoHS, REACH, radio-equipment rules and product-specific legislation may also be relevant depending on the product.
What evidence should teams organize early?
Typical work includes product specifications, safety design information, standards, test evidence, instructions, labels and conformity documentation.
