Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU Testing - CE Marking

Why the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU is Important

The European Union’s Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU ensures that electrical equipment within certain voltage limits includes protection against electric shock and other hazards.

Manufacturers and distributors who wish to sell electrical equipment in the EU and European Economic Area (EEA) must certify that their products comply with relevant regulations. On approval, they can apply a CE Mark to their products, which permits their sale anywhere within the EU and EEA.

Affixing a CE Low Voltage Directive mark to your products ensures free access to nearly 30 countries in the EU and EEA. Without the CE Mark, you cannot legally sell to consumers within the bloc and could potentially face fines, product recalls and even be banned from one of the world’s biggest markets.
