Hello Folks This may no be completely new for many of you , but for those who make equipment for the European market and wish ce-marking, the voltage limits for supply or external delivered voltages are 50/75 to 1000/1500 Volts (ac/dc) for the LVD. The new to come R&TTE directive will make the 950 requirements in the EN version (so EN60950) applicable to all devices in the scope of the new directive. This implicates that most battery operated telecom devices need to prove compliance with EN 60950 but without the lower voltage limit. Even mains operated CE-marked mains adapter supplied equipment that most manufacturers think need no LVD tests will. Many modems fall into that category, as well as low end faxes and telephone equipment.
