The Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU came into force on 20th April 2016, replacing Directive 2006/95/EC. It provides detailed and in-depth guidance around the placing of electrical equipment within certain voltage boundaries. A guide to the standard has therefore been developed by Rittal – The New Low Voltage Directive – which outlines the new features and requirements. This provides information and a brief understanding of 2014/35/EC – looking at what is new in the directive, what it means for panel builders and switchgear manufacturers, and what they can do to comply, including to: Ensure technical documentation is in the language of the destination country of the product; Fulfil the requirements of the applicable product standard; Prepare a risk analysis; and Remedy potential risks and provide a safety data sheet. The Guide can be downloaded from Rittal’s website.
