With the rapid development of electrical and electronic technologies, products such as lighting systems, communication devices, household appliances, power tools, and IT equipment have become essential in everyday life.
While these devices bring convenience, they also present potential safety risks such as electrical shock, overheating, and fire hazards.
To address these risks, the European Commission established the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU, which ensures that electrical equipment within specified voltage limits provides a high level of protection for users and operates safely.
Manufacturers placing electrical equipment on the EU market must demonstrate that their products meet the essential safety requirements of the Directive and affix the CE marking before sale. Unlike some other directives, the LVD follows a self-declaration conformity procedure — manufacturers are responsible for testing, technical documentation, and issuing the EU Declaration of Conformity.
