This would be relevant where, for example, a manufacturer was continuing to apply EN 60950-1 and not EN 62368-1: 2014 For EMC, it's useful to review guidance in EN 303 446-1 V1.2.1 and EN 303 446-2 V1.2.1 for application of EMC standards to radio and non-radio function of the product Best regards Charlie Charlie Blackham Sulis Consultants Ltd Tel: +44 (0)7946 624317 Web: https://sulisconsultants.com/ Registered in England and Wales, number 05466247 From: Paul Scott <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: 16 February 2021 14:38 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [PSES] RED: Legal requirement to use LVD or EMCD Harmonized Standards The RED refers to the LVD and EMCD objectives when it comes to setting the essential requirements. Is there a legal requirement to apply harmonized standards (from the LVD and EMCD where applicable) in order to achieve presumption of conformity for CE marking requirements?
