EC Low-Voltage Directive

(73/23/EEC)

amended by: CE Mark Directive (93/68/EEC)

General

-

The Low-Voltage Directive is effective for all electrical equipment for use
with a rated voltage between 50 V and 1000 V AC and between 75 V and
1500 V DC, and under normal ambient conditions. The use of e.g. electrical
equipment in explosive atmospheres and electrical parts in passenger and
goods lifts are excepted.

-

The objective of the Low Voltage Directive is to ensure that only electrical
equipment which does not endanger the safety of persons or animals is
placed on the market. It should also be designed to conserve material
assets.
