Since this is a "UK question", "The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1992" (SI 1992 No. 29323) would seem to apply. It states under "Conformity with Community requirements" 10 - (1) Every employer shall ensure that any item of work equipment provided for use in the premises or undertaking of the employer complies with any enactment (whether in an Act or instrument) which implements in Great Britain any of the relevant Community directives listed in Schedule 1 which is applicable to that item of work equipment.
In Schedule 1 are the LVD, machinery and EMC directives, and a lot more. (And dare I ask, does a piece of equipment which complies with an old revision of a standard which has been removed from the OJ, continue to comply with the LVD ??) You could always argue that your equipment meets the essential requirements, spelt out in the Work Equipment Regulations, since the LVD only applies tp equipment "placed on the market".
