European Union CE marking
Low Voltage and EMC marking
Low Voltage CE marking (LVD)
Low Voltage Directive? (Low Voltage Directive, 2006/95/EC)? (Low Voltage Directive, 2006/95/EC) was established in 1973 as a new program. (New Approach)? 20 years before the Directive and is considered the predecessor of the New Approach concept.
Scope of the LVD
The LVD applies to all motors with a functional voltage range of ?50~1000V AC and ?75~1500V DC, which refers to the scope of the directive, not to the limitations of the directive. (? For example, in the case of computers using 230V AC, the dangers posed by circuits running at 12V DC are also regulated by the LVD). ?
The LVD?applies to products supplied for consumer and industrial use and, in the case of industrial equipment, the directive also covers products used by the manufacturer itself? (? For example? :? test equipment?) ?
Requirements for CE technical documentation
The LVD?s?CE?system is similar to the?EMC?Directive in that all products within the scope of application must bear the?CE?marking and must be accompanied by a Declaration of Conformity signed by the manufacturer's representative or the importer.
A simple self-declaration is not sufficient to determine that a product is safe? (? "Safe" is defined as not causing death or injury to persons or domestic animals and financial damage?) ? For this reason, LVD?s declarations need to be backed up by an archive of technical documentation to prove them.
The technical documentation file shall contain
1. ? A general description of the machine and equipment;
2.? Conceptual design and manufacturing drawings;
3.? Descriptions and illustrations necessary to understand these drawings;
4.? List all or some of the applicable standards and describe the measures taken to meet the safety aspects of the directives;
5.? The results of the design projections and checks of the implementation process;
6.? Test reports.
Electromagnetic compatibility CE marking (EMC)
The International Electrotechnical Commission standard IEC defines electromagnetic compatibility as the ability of a system or device to function properly in the electromagnetic environment in which it is located without causing interference to other systems and devices.
In order to standardize the management of electromagnetic compatibility of electrical equipment in the EU member states, is the EU member states on the electromagnetic compatibility of the harmonization of laws and regulations, 89/336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive was promulgated on May 1, 1989, and January 1, 1996 the mandatory implementation of the current directive for the 2004/108/EC. updated EMC Directive number for the 2014/30/EU? 2014/30/EU?, it will come into force on April 18, 2014, the old EMC Directive 2004/30/EU will come into effect. The old EMC Directive 2004/108/EC will be repealed on April 20, 2016.
