Objectives of LVD
• eliminate trade barriers by technical
harmonization
• achieve a protection level as high as possible
in the area of electrical safety
That means:
– ensure that electrical equipment may be placed on
the market only if, having been constructed
> in accordance with good engineering practice in safety
matters in force in the Community
> it does not endanger the safety of persons, domestic
animals or property
– when properly installed and maintained and used in
applications for which it was made.

Scope of LVD
• The low voltage directive (LVD) applies to
electrical equipment intended for use within a
voltage rating of
50 to 1000 V ac (alternating
current) or 75-1500 V dc (direct current)
• Consumer products and equipment, like household
devices, portable electric tools, lamps, wires,
cabels, installation equipment
• constructed in accordance with principles accepted
as constituting good engineering practice in
relation to safety matters

About Components
• Not to be subject for CE-marking:
– Basic components to be incorporated into other
electrical equipment, where the characteristics of the
final product is depending on how there are integrated
into the final product (e.g. integrated circuits,
transistors, diodes, rectifiers, triacs, capacitors,
inductance, resistors, filters)
• To be subject for CE-marking
– Electrical components which are intended for being
incorporated into other electrical equipment, but for
which a safety assessment is feasible (e.g.
transformers and motors)
– Other components to build in (e.g. lamps, starters,
fuses, switches for household use, elements of
electrical installations

Safety objectives of LVD
• General conditions to keep safety
objectives
1.Instructions
> essential characteristics, the recognition and
observance of which will ensure, that electrical
equipment will be used safely and in applications for
which it was made,
shall be marked on the equipment, or if this is not possible,
on an accompanying notice
2.Origin
> The manufacturers or brand name or trade mark should
be clearly printed on electrical equipment or, where
that is not possible, on the packaging

Safety objectives of LVD
• General conditions to keep safety
objectives
3.Current supply
> The electrical equipment, together with its component
parts should be made in such a way as to ensure that it
can be safely and properly assembled and connected
4.Use and maintenance
> The electrical equipment should be so designed and
manufactured as to ensure that protection against the
hazards (set out in the following slides) is assured
providing that the equipment is used in application for
which is made and is adequately maintained

Safety objectives of LVD
• Protection against hazards arising from
electrical equipment
Technical measures must be prescribed
in order to ensure:
5.Electric shock
> that persons and domestic animals are adequately protected
against danger of physical injury or other harm which might
be caused by electrical contact direct or indirect
6.Burns
> that temperatures, arcs or radiation which would cause a
danger are not produced
7. Explosion and fire
> non-electric dangers caused by electrical equipment, which can
be expected
8.Insulation solidity
> that the insulation must be suitable for forseeable conditions

Safety objectives of LVD
• Protection against hazards which may
be caused by external influences on
electrical equipment
• Technical measures are to be laid down, in order to
ensure:
9.
Shock proofed case
> that the electrical equipment meets the expected
mechanical requirements
10.e.g. water protection
> that electrical equipment shall be resistant to nonmechanical influences in expected environment
conditions
