There have been some recent changes to the LVD, in particular 2006/95/EC where the LVD addresses the machinery directive if the equipment is primarily electrical. On the VDE website I found a discussion on this but I am not sure if it is allowable to post that link. You can search for "redefined against Low Voltage Directive". Basically they state that LVD adequately addresses the Machinery Directive for the following products.
1. household appliances meant for household used 2. audio systems and video recorders 3. information-technology appliances 4. normal office equipment 5. electrical switches 6. electric motors Rick Busche Certification Engineer H. +1 801 814-4006 T. +1 801 814-4006 E. rick.bus...@qnergy.com W. www.qnergy.com - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
