Yes. The voltage limit applies to the mains power input, not internally-generated or applied voltages.  If your adapter doesn't have a mains supply, you have a grey area. I suggest you explain in your safety assessment that it is clearly correct to apply the LVD in such a case, because there is no more appropriate Directive..

Colleagues!

We are producing termials for luminaires.

Therefore we also provide a test adapter for our customers.

This adaptor is used at the manufacturer to do the high voltage and earthing tests.

According to this use, the adapter is used at a voltage up to 1,8kV and a current up to 10A.

Is this adaptor covered by the LVD or other directives?
