The LVD low voltage command aims to ensure the safety of electrical products with AC voltage ranging from 50V to 1000V and DC voltage ranging from 75V to 1500V, involving various hazardous protection measures such as mechanical, electrical shock, heat, and radiation. Manufacturers need to design and produce according to standards and regulations, pass testing and certification to obtain EU LVD certification, prove product safety and reliability, enter the EU market and expand international space. CE certification includes LVD instructions and involves multiple testing items.
LVD Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU aims to ensure the safety of low-voltage equipment during use. The scope of application of the directive is to use electrical products with voltages ranging from AC 50V to 1000V and DC 75V to 1500V. This instruction contains all safety rules for this device, including protection against hazards caused by mechanical reasons. The design and structure of the equipment should ensure that there is no danger when used under normal working conditions or fault conditions according to its intended purpose. In summary, electronic and electrical products with voltages ranging from 50V to 1000V AC and 75V to 1500V DC must undergo low-voltage directive LVD certification for CE certification.
LVD Directive
The Relationship between CE Certification and LVD Directive
LVD is a directive under CE certification. In addition to LVD directive, there are more than 20 other directives in CE certification, including EMC directive, ERP directive, ROHS directive, etc. When a product is marked with the CE mark, it indicates that the product has met the relevant directive requirements. Actually, CE certification includes the LVD directive. Some products only involve LVD instructions and only need to apply for LVD instructions, while others require many instructions under CE certification.
During the LVD certification process, special attention needs to be paid to the following aspects:
1. Mechanical hazards: Ensure that the equipment does not generate mechanical hazards that may cause harm to the human body during use, such as cuts, impacts, etc.
2. Electric shock hazard: Ensure that the equipment does not experience electric shock accidents during use, posing a threat to the user's life safety.
3. Thermal hazard: Ensure that the equipment does not generate excessively high temperatures during use, causing burns and other injuries to the human body.
4. Radiation hazard: Ensure that the equipment does not generate harmful radiation to the human body during use, such as electromagnetic radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and infrared radiation.
EMC Directive
In order to obtain EU LVD certification, manufacturers need to design and produce products in accordance with relevant standards and regulations, and conduct testing and certification. During the testing and certification process, the certification body will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the product's safety performance and issue corresponding certificates. Only products with certificates can enter the EU market for sale. The EU LVD certification is not only of great significance for protecting consumer safety, but also an important means for enterprises to improve product quality and competitiveness. By obtaining EU LVD certification, companies can prove the safety and reliability of their products to customers, thereby winning their trust and market share. At the same time, the EU LVD certification is also one of the passes for enterprises to enter the international market, which can help them expand their market space.
