Dear Nick
I once asked the LVD section of the Department of Trade and Industry
(Current contact - Chris Parish) this question, and the reply was that the
Shipping, aircraft and rail industries have their own (international?)
requirements and compliance should be against these requirements, they
could not tell me what the requirements were.
You can read this statement in two ways - one is that the above
requirements must apply.
The other: The wording states '...which complies with...', therefore my
question is, if the equipment does not comply with those safety provisions
can the LVD be used? My assumption is NO.
I suggest talk to someone in the Rail industry.
Best regards

The LVD contains the following exclusion:
Specialised electrical equipment for use on ships, aircraft or
railways, which complies with the safety provisions drawn up by
international bodies in which the member States participate.
Specifically with reference to railways, does anyone know what what
this actually means in practice?
Regards
Nick.
