Dear Scott, The removal of the reference to EN 60335-2-24 from the OJEU means that compliance with this standard does not provide the presumption of conformity as defined in Article 12 of LVD. Actually, the nationally adopted versions of this standard are still valid (e.g. BS EN 60335-2-24, https://shop.bsigroup.com/ProductDetail/?pid=000000000030236214). As IEC 60335-2-24 is not listed as an international standard in the OJEU, I do not see any advantage in declaring CE compliance with the IEC version, especially as the objection raised by the UK against the use of highly flammable materials would also apply to fridges compliant with IEC 60335-2-24.
As risk analysis (preferably according to CENELEC Guide 32) is a mandatory part of the technical documentation (LVD, Annex III, Module A, 2.), the manufacturer is bound to consider the findings in UK's objection and to avoid the use of such materials even if they are compliant with the IEC/EN standard. Please be aware that the obligations of the manufacturer (LVD, Art. 6) also include the monitoring of products already in the market and to take corrective measures if it is found that a product presents a risk. Regarding a new product, you may still refer to EN 60335-2-24, but it will not give you presumption of conformity. With the CE DoC you declare that your electrical equipment provides "a high level of protection of health and safety of persons, and of domestic animals and property" (LVD, Art. 1), using the standard as a technical means to demonstrate compliance, but considering also risks that are not adequately addressed in the standard.

Juli 2017 21:31 An: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Betreff: Re: [PSES] Harmonised standard withdrawn Scott, You can continue to use EN 60335-1 and reference IEC 60335-2-24 to show compliance. Just because the EN is withdrawn doesn’t mean the IEC is no longer valid. Knowing now about the plastic issue, maybe you do some other evaluation method for it to ensure it’s safe to be used in that application.

The common compliance route of self-declaration of conformity to LVD using harmonised standard becomes lost. What are other options to demonstrating the compliance with LVD?
