Kim,
The clause you cite concludes ”…the obligations concerning conformity assessment and the placing on the market and/or putting into service of machinery with regard to electrical hazards are governed solely by this [Machinery] Directive.” Therefore, if standards are used to demonstrate conformity, they should be those standards notified to the Machinery Directive. EN 60204-1 on its own should be acceptable. Further note that the Commission MD guide suggests the DoC for a Machine should not even reference the LVD. Regards, -- Lauren Crane (mr.)

From: [email protected] [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.
