In the following discussion, I am interested in determining the legal aspects only.
The General Product Safety Directive and the Liability Directives apply to consumer products and not to products used in the workplace. Consider electrical products that would otherwise be subject to the Low Voltage Directive but operate below the lower voltage limits of the directive. The safety of such products intended for use in the workplace are subject only to non-harmonized national regulations concerning worker safety. Do these national regulations make the assumption that such equipment must comply with the applicable essential requirements that are normally associated with equipment covered by the LVD?
