David The Low Voltage Directive has a minimum Voltage Level of 50 Vac or 75 Vdc - the text of the directive can be obtained from: http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/ne approach/standardization/harmstds/reflist.html
If the product is ITE and does not fall under the R&TTE directive then the LVD does not apply. The product must still be safe as it also falls under the General Product Safety Directive 92/59/EEC, http://euro a.eu.int/comm/consumers/cons_safe/prod_safe/gpsd/index_en.htm, however this is not a new approach directive and you do issue Declarations of Conformity nor CE mark for it. regards Charlie Blackham Approvals Manager Airspan Communications From: David Gelfand [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 27 June 2003 15:20 To: EMC List Subject: CE without LVD? Hello Group, A ITE product (not ours!) is powered by an CE marked external ac-dc power supply and has only SELV ports. I believe this product must be tested to EN 60950, and that in the CE Declaration of Conformity it must declare conformity to the LVD via EN 60590. It is being suggested that this product does not need safety testing and does not need to include the reference to EN 60950 and the LVD in the CE DoC, since it is SELV circuits only. Can you provide me with references to back my point of view? Thanks, David. David Gelfand Approvals/Design Engineer Memotec Inc.
