One of our OEM customers called me this morning with a question. It seems that one of our European Union Declarations of Conformity listed the Low Voltage Directive as 72/23/EEC, while others had listed 73/23/EEC. I replied that I was fairly certain that 73/23/EEC was correct, but would check it out.
If you do a Google search on 73/23/EEC, you will get all the expected references on the EU LVD. However, if you do a search on 72/23/EEC, you will see many mfrs DoCs listing 72/23/EEC, but no references to the source of such a document. Apparantly someone made a typographical error once upon a time, which has infiltrated the DoCs of many respected manufacturers, inluding ours. If anyone is aware of an actual EU Directive 72/23/EEC, please post the URL for its description and text.
