Hi Robert This type of product would be covered by EN 60335-2-14, Particular requirements for kitchen machines. The scope includes citrus fruit squeezers and centrifugal juicers.
Technically, the machinery Directive does apply since it meets the definition of a machine, assuming that it is not excluded by article 1(5), that is a risk assessment shows that the risks are not mainly of electrical origin. However in the UK, I do remember a DTI document which was issued soon after the MD was released that said that products which have traditionally fallen within the scope of the LVD in the past may continue to do so. I don't know if this advice has been superceded or forgotten or whether it still applies since domestic electrical appliances within the scope of EN 60335 have traditionally been in the scope of the LVD. In practical terms, the main difference in the application of the LVD and MD is the requirements for the technical file. EN 60335-1 states (Introduction) that the essential requirements of the LVD, MD and CPD are covered by the standard (Noise and vibration???) This and more information can be found in the European Commission DGIII "Guidelines on the application of council Directive 73/23/EEC". I hope this helps.

Does anyone know which particular part of this standard this product falls under? Also, not having seen this device, if it has blades like a blender, will the Machinery Directive also be applicable? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Sincerely, Robert R.
