Currently, the European Union issued more than a dozen directives (Directive), the content of which involves:
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC89/336/EEC)
Machinery (MD89/392/EEC)
Radio and communication terminals (R & TTE1999/5/EC)
Low-voltage ( LVD73/23/EEC)
Toys (88/378/EEC)
Medical devices (MDD93/42/EEC, AIMDD90/385/EEC)
Pressure vessels (87/404/EEC)
Products and equipment entering the European Union market must, depending on the type and scope of their use must fully comply with all the different CE directives covered by the product and equipment in order to be marked with the CE marking on the product and exported to the EU market.
For electronic and electrical products, including: home appliances, lamps, audio-visual (AV) products, IT products, electronic measuring instruments, power tools, etc., if you need to enter the European Union market for sale, you must comply with the European Union directives, including:
EMC Directive
EMC Directive (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive or EMC Directive for short). Compatibility Directive referred to as EMC Directive) 89/336/EEC directive mainly measures the product electromagnetic interference and immunity performance. For different products, in accordance with different standards for testing:
(1). Electromagnetic interference includes:
General standard EN61000-6-3
Radio-frequency equipment for industry, science and medicine EN55011
AV products EN55013
Home appliances and power tools EN55014
Electrical lighting equipment EN55015
IT products EN55022
AC power harmonics
Voltage flicker EN61000-3-X etc.
(2). Electromagnetic immunity includes:
General standard EN61000-6-1
Electric appliances and power tools EN55014-2
Electric lighting equipment EN61547
AV products EN55020
IT products EN55024
and other basic standards EN61000-4-X/XX, etc.
LVD Low Voltage Directive
LVD Low Voltage Directive (LVD for short) 73/223/EEC Directive is a relevant test for product safety performance.
The LVD Directive mainly tests the safety performance of products, including product labeling, creepage distance and clearance distance, protection against electric shock, high voltage, temperature rise and moisture, fire retardant, structural strength and so on. For different products, in accordance with different standards for testing. Commonly used:
Home appliances EN60335 series standards
Power transformers EN61558 series standards
IT products EN60950
Lamps and lanterns EN60598 series standards
AV products EN60065
Electronic Measuring Instruments EN61010 series
Electronic Measuring Instruments EN61010 series
According to the standard requirements, where the product working voltage AC 50V-1000V, or DC 75V-1500V, only need to carry out CE / LVD test.
