Q1, What is CE-LVD certification?
The full name of LVD is Low Voltage Directive,the directive number for LVD is 2014/35/EU,the purpose of this Directive is to ensure that electrical equipment on the market fulfils the requirements providing for a high level of protection of health and safety of persons, and of domestic animals and property, while guaranteeing the functioning of the internal market.
Q2, Which products require mandatory CE-LVD certification?
This Directive shall apply to electrical equipment designed for use with a voltage rating of between 50 and 1000 V for alternating current and between 75 and 1500 V for direct current, other than the equipment and phenomena listed in Annex II.
Note：What is direct current/alternating current,what's the difference between them？
The amplitude and direction of DC voltage will not change over time, while the amplitude and direction of AC voltage will periodically change over time,their symbols are marked as follows
Q3, What are the common CE-LVD standards？
IT & AV：EN IEC 62368-1
Light：EN IEC 60598-1，EN IEC 60598-2-XX
House：EN IEC 60335-1，EN IEC 60335-2-XX
Note：
IT：Information technology equipment
AV：Audio and video equipment
XX：Represent numbers, such as EN IEC 60598-2-1 represent testing standards for fixed lighting fixtures, and EN IEC 60335-2-80 represent testing standards for electric fans
Q4, How to check the latest version of the testing standards?
Step 1：Open the website https://standards.cencenelec.eu/dyn/www/f?p=CEN:105::RESET::::
Step 2: Enter the number as shown in the following figure
Q5，How to check the validity period of the current standard version?
For example, you want to check the withdrawal time of EN IEC 62368-1:2020（Reference Q4 for query method）
Conclusion
1，The EN IEC 62368-1:2020 version will be withdrawal on February 15, 2027, and the EN IEC 62368-1:2024 version will be mandatory on February 15, 2027.
2，There is no version will replace EN IEC62368-1:2024 currently.
