Security testing
Proper installation, use, and maintenance of electrical equipment must be safe. Electrical safety issues are regulated by the 'Electrical Safety Act' and the 'Low Voltage Directive' (LVD). The purpose of the LVD is to ensure that electrical equipment on the market is safe for humans, livestock, and property.
The manufacturer of electrical equipment is responsible for ensuring that the equipment complies with the LVD requirements.
Application of LVDsoveltaminen
LVD is designed for use in
- The rated voltage of alternating current is between 50 and 1000 V
- The rated voltage of direct current is between 75 and 1500 V.
Here, 'rated voltage' refers to the input or output voltage of electrical equipment, rather than the voltage that may exist inside the equipment.
Although LVD is not applicable to all electrical equipment, the Electrical Safety Law requires that all electrical equipment must be safe.
LVD is not suitable for
- Electrical equipment used in explosive environments
- Radiation and medical electrical equipment
- Electrical components of freight and passenger elevators
- electricity meter
- Home plug socket
- Electronic fence controller
- radio interference
- Specialized electrical equipment for ships, aircraft, or railways
A customized evaluation kit for professionals, used in research and development institutions.
How to ensure compliance
1、Inspection requirements
LVD specifies the basic safety requirements for electrical equipment. Manufacturers can demonstrate their compliance by testing equipment according to uniform standards.
2、Check the qualification
Manufacturers must verify and test electronic devices for compliance with LVD requirements. Manufacturers must also assess the risks posed by the equipment.
3、Prepare the necessary documents
Manufacturers must draft technical documents for electrical equipment. In addition to technical documents, it is also necessary to prepare an EU conformity declaration and necessary explanations to enable end users to safely use the equipment and achieve the intended purpose.
4、Attach CE mark and other labels
In addition to the CE mark, manufacturers must also affix other markings required by the directive to electrical equipment.
Obligations of Manufacturers, Importers, and Distributors
In addition to product requirements, LVD has created a large number of manufacturers who are obligated to improve product sales to local residents.
The Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) issued by the European Union ensures that electrical equipment within a certain voltage range provides a high level of protection for EU citizens and allows them to freely roam the market. This law and regulation covers the health and safety risks of electrical equipment operated at AC voltages ranging from 50 to 1000 volts and DC voltages ranging from 75 to 1500 volts.
These restrictions apply to various electrical equipment, whether for residential or commercial use, or professional use in enterprises. For example, this includes appliances, cables, power equipment and switches, laser equipment, fuses, plugs and sockets.
In our country, it is important that the health and safety requirements of products provided to the market comply with EU regulations. The purpose of these regulations is to ensure that only safe consumer products are put on the market.
According to this directive, the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology has issued the Electrical Equipment Regulation (2014/35/EU) for specific voltage limits. This regulation is abbreviated as low-pressure regulation.
If the product provided to consumers does not meet LVD requirements, it can be withdrawn from the market. Companies that do not comply with these regulations constitute a crime. Therefore, LVD testing is very important.
Here are some standards based on LVD testing by regulatory authorities:
- EN 60335 Safety Regulation - Household and Similar Electrical Appliances
- EN 61204 Low voltage power supplies with DA output - Performance characteristics and safety regulations
- EN 62368-1 Audio/Video, Information and Communication Equipment - Part 1: Safety Requirements
- EN 60947 Low voltage switchgear and control equipment
- EN 60601 Medical Electrical Equipment
