Hi Scott, please note that Annex III of the EU LVD requires a risk analysis as part of the technical documentation (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32014L0035&from=EN#d1e32-370-1). So you may either create your own exhaustive risk analysis for your products, or claim compliance with the applicable product safety standard EN 62368-1, to demonstrate that your complete product does not present a risk and complies with the safety objectives of the LVD. If your products include a wireless interface or other radio function, it is in the scope of the RED which does not have a minimum voltage limit in Article 3, 1(a) (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32014L0053&from=EN#d1e975-62-1). Therefore, for equipment powered by extra-low voltage the RED requires compliance with the safety objectives of the LVD and the applicable product safety standards.
Kind regards, Bernd Von: Scott Douglas <sdouglas...@gmail.com> Gesendet: Dienstag, 29. September 2020 22:52 An: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Betreff: [PSES] Low Voltage Products and EN 62368-1 and -3 Esteemed colleagues, Question on EN 62368-1 and -3 related to low voltage products. Products are ITE equipment with power requirement of 5v or 12v DC and less than 4 amps, sometimes they are powered by PoE. We ship some of these products with an external power supply 120/230 V~ input and 5 or 12 VDC output. The EPS always have full certifications to normal safety standards including 62368-1. Other times we do not include an EPS with the product. One of our factories is trying to tell us that under IEC/EN 62368-1 or -3, our products are required to have safety certifications, that having just the EPS certified to 62368-1 is not enough. We have always said that since these are low voltage products (even the PoE ones) that safety certifications are not required for the products themselves. Has something changed where these type products are now required to have safety approvals for the EU or US/Canada markets? Or since they are not directly connected to the AC Mains, they do not need safety approvals? Looking for someone to either confirm my sanity or teach me a new lesson. All comments welcome.
