“The safety objectives set out in Directive 73/23/EEC shall apply to machinery”.
Key word is “objectives”… not to mean standards. The MDD is horizontal so standards are harmonized and the DoC should only reference the MDD, not the LVD. Best- Andrew Robbins 813-528-1261 cell From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] <mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> On Behalf Of Kim Boll Jensen Sent: Monday, September 26, 2011 1:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: EN 60204 Hi The Machinery directive has EN 60204 as its main standard for electrical safety. In the latest version of the directive in Annex 1 §1.5.1 is stated that “The safety objectives set out in Directive 73/23/EEC shall apply to machinery”. Does this mean that we shall use EN 60204 and a LVD standard to prove compliance? I would like to, because EN 60204 is not very specific. Latest I have discovered that it does not describe how to measure leakage current, no reference to eg. IEC 60990.
