Hello Everyone,


I have read on this list and have been told by TUV that the lower limits
for the voltages of products which fall under the Low Voltage Directive may
be eliminated so that low voltage products would now fall under that
directive.


On the Europa website I read an LVD Working Document, dated 7/13/01, that
there were two proposals:

1. Delete the lower limit and introduce risk assessment similar to the
Machinery Directive........
2. Leave the limits as is but add an annex to include certain low voltage
products, lighting system, household appliances, TV/Radio etc....


I found a Working Guide for the LVD dated 3/7/02 which  showed that there
are countries which favor one or the other proposal while the UK favored no
change..


Does anyone have any new information or can point me in the direction which
would give me a more recent an update of this proposal? I am very
interested in where this proposal is heading..............


Thanks in advance for your help..........


Regards,
