2014/35/EU-欧盟LVD新指令新版低电压指令2014/35/EU发布于2014年3月29日的欧盟官方公报，2014年4月18日生效的。

新版低电压指令2014/35/EU将于2016年4月20日正式执行，旧的指令2006/95/EC也随之将被取代。

随着指令更新，欧委会将根据新立法架构（NLF）执行低电压指令条例。

低电压指令（LVD）的更改体现在新立法架构（NLF），新指令并没有引入技术更改。

新立法架构（NLF）是欧盟在2008年公布的，旨在帮助欧盟产品市场更好运行，并加强和更新将广泛范畴内的工业产品在欧盟市场销售使用条件。

新版低电压指令（2014/35/EU）较现行指令（2006/95/EC）更详细地规定了经销营商的义务。

“经销营商”指制造商、授权代表、进口商和分销商。

规定详细义务目的在于使产品在直至最终用户的整个供应链过程中都需符合要求。

投放产品到市场的经销营商承担主要责任，分销商也应承担部分责任义务。

经销营商在整个供应链中的可追溯性应十分明确。

例如，制造商名称、注册商品名、或注册商标标志和通讯地址应在产品上标注。

现行LVD只要求在产品上明确标注商标名称或注册商标标志；但是新指令的要求里面，如果产品进口到欧洲，需要在产品上标注制造商和进口商名称和通讯地址。

产品上需清晰标注对应于符合性声明和技术文档的信息（如型号、序号批次）。

生产商需编制技术文档，只有依据该技术文件，才能评估电器设备是否符合相关要求。

同时，技术文件也包括风险评估以及针对风险所采取的必要措施。

生产商负责风险评估和针对具体风险采取的必要措施。

现行LVD没有明确注明产品需进行风险分析和评估。

在附件IV中，新版LVD引入了强制性符合性声明模板。

在相关当局需要时，制造商和授权代表或进口商必须能提供符合性声明。

另一个主要的变化是澄清了“制造商”的定义。

“制造商”指制造电器设备或以拥有其设计或制造得电器设备，并以其名称或商标在市场上销售该产品的自然人或法人。

传感器欧盟CE认证在当今社会所处的信息时代，传感器在各个领域都发挥了重要的作用，它是获取自然和生产领域信息的重要手段。

按照用途，传感器通常分为压力传感器、位置传感器、能耗传感器、热敏传感器等。

CE认证是强制性认证，只有贴有“CE”标准的产品才能在欧盟市场自由流通。

而传感器在CE认证的产品范围内，所以传感器想要在欧盟成员国内销售必须取得CE认证。

传感器申请CE认证还要根据传感器的种类选择不同的标准，以下是常用的传感器使用标准：一、传感器CE认证ATEX防爆指令（94/9 / EC）1.定义了在爆炸性环境中使用的产品2.欧洲这些区域使用的所有产品必须符合本指令3.Ex d，Ex e和Ex t型EPIC®SENSORS温度传感器通过ATEX认证，符合指令4.ATEX认可的传感器带有CE标志，并由制造商给予欧盟符合性声明。

二、传感器CE认证EMC指令（2014/30 / EU）1.定义了设备的电磁兼容性，它们本身可以执行直接功能2.这就是该指令如何定义设备和组件之间的产品3.可能会涉及到的标准EMV EN 61326-1:2006、EMC EN 61326-2-3:2006三、传感器CE认证LVD指令（2014/35/EU）1.适用于设计工作电压范围为交流电压50 V到1000 V或75V到1500 V的电气设备2.温度传感器的测量电路不能在这些电压范围内工作，因此该指令不适用于传感器3.安全区域的传感器未通过CE标记，但自2017年7月22日起已通过CE认证。

四、传感器CE认证PED指令（2015/863/EU）1.适用于具有可识别压力壳体的压力设备，2.温度传感器的热电偶套管没有可识别的压力壳体，五、RoHS2指令（2011/65 / EU）1.定义了在电气和电子设备中使用某些有害物质的限制2.从2017年7月22日开始，温度传感器被认为是该指令所涵盖的工业监测和控制仪器3.安全区域的传感器自2017年7月22日起获得CE认证，并由制造商给予欧盟符合性声明。

关于EMC电磁兼容指令201430EU详解2014年3月29日，欧盟官方期刊公布了新版本CE认证电磁兼容EMC指令2014/30/EU（替换原有EMC指令2004/108/EC），新指令旨在确保更为简便的市场准入以及对消费者生命财产更高水平的保护。

4.最严厉的指令是领先的，并设定了DoC的最低内容。

EMC电磁兼容指令（2014-30-EU）要求、标准、规定、规范与评定程序一、电磁兼容EMC指令概述：1、EMC指令是欧洲联盟制定的一项法规，全称为电磁兼容性（Electromagnetic Compatibility）指令，编号为2014/30/EU。

该指令的目的是确保在欧洲市场上销售的电气和电子设备能够满足特定的电磁兼容性要求，从而减少设备之间的电磁干扰。

2、EMC指令适用于在欧洲市场上销售的电气和电子设备，当产品带电存在电磁干扰或抗干扰要求时，需要进行EMC认证并遵守EMC指令。

3、电磁兼容性（EMC）2014/30/EU指令对电气和电子设备的市场准入起到了关键作用。

通过确保设备的电磁兼容性，该指令维护了设备之间的相互作用和性能稳定。

企业和相关行业须遵守该指令，以确保设备符合要求并获得欧盟市场准入。

二、EMC指令2014/30/EU的定义和目的：1、EMC指令2014/30/EU于2016年4月20日生效，并与新立法框架保持一致。

该指令确保投放到欧盟市场的所有电气和电子设备均符合所允许的足够水平的电磁兼容性。

在这方面，电气产品不应产生任何电磁干扰或受到电磁干扰的影响。

EMC的目的是控制电气设备互连或彼此靠近时出现的所有副作用。

例如，电视机，收音机，电源线和其他设备之间可能存在干扰。

此外，该指令限制了电气设备的电磁辐射，以使此类设备在按预期使用时不会干扰其他设备的活动，例如无线电或电信。

2、EMC指令主要目标：在欧盟市场投放的所有电气和电子设备（无论是固定装置还是固定装置），在正确安装，维护和使用以达到其预期目的时，都必须符合该指令的要求；所有固定安装都必须具有良好工程实践的特征。

三、EMC指令2014/30/EU的范围：1、新的EMC指令2014/30/EU具有与2004/108/EC的旧EMC指令相同的范围，涵盖了广泛的设备，包括电气和电子设备，系统和装置（定义为设备或固定装置）。

在这方面，重要的是要指定设备和固定装置的含义。

EUROPEAN COMMISSION Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEsIndustrial Transformation and Advanced Value Chains Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing SystemsDRAFT G UIDANCE D OCUMENTON THE L OW V OLTAGE D IRECTIVE TRANSITIONFROM 2006/95/EC TO 2014/35/EUThe new Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU 1 is the result of the alignment of the previous Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC to the "New Legislative Framework" (NLF)2, in particular to Decision No 768/2008/EC 3, as well as to the provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) after the Treaty of Lisbon.Being the result of an alignment and a recast, the main changes in the new Directive2014/35/EU with respect to the previous Directive 2006/95/EC are quite limited, and do not concern the most substantial characteristics of the act that remain the same: scope, safety objectives, conformity assessment procedure. The main changes are the following:▪ Reference number : according to the model YYYY / No / UE▪ Definitions : horizontal additions from the NLF▪ Economic operators (manufacturers, authorised representatives, importers, distributors) and their obligations : more detailed descriptions from the NLF▪ Harmonised standards and presumption of conformity : reference to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 on European Standardisation 4▪ CE marking : reference to Regulation (EC) No 765/200851Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on theharmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (OJ L 96, 29.3.2014, p. 357–374)2 See http://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/goods/new-legislative-framework/index_en.htm3Decision No 768/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 on a commonframework for the marketing of products, and repealing Council Decision 93/465/EEC (OJ L 218, 13.8.2008, p. 82)4Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 onEuropean standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 316, 14.11.2012, p. 12)5Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 339/93 (OJ L 218, 13.8.2008, p. 30)EK1621-16▪Market surveillance and safeguard procedure: reinforced activities and new simplified procedures (also related to the "Product safety and market surveillance package"6)▪Electrical Equipment Committee and implementing acts: reference to Regulation (EU) No 182/20117 ("Comitology") concerning Commission Implementing Decisions onformal objections against harmonised standards and safeguard clauses against products ▪EU declaration of conformity: more detailed contents, and a model, from the NLFThe new Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU is applicable from 20 April 2016.This document includes a list of "Frequently Asked Questions and Answers" on the transition to the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, which covers both "horizontal" and "sectorial" questions, this is to say, those common to all the EU legislation aligned to the "New Legislative Framework"8 and those specifically related to Directive 2014/35/EU. It reflects the result of ongoing discussions, notably at the workshop on the transition to the new LVD 2014/35/EU held on 27October 2014.It should be noted that this document is preliminary, pending the revision of the Blue Guide and the LVD Guidelines. Upon finalisation of the revised Blue Guide (planned for end of 2015) and the LVD Guidelines (planned for mid-2016) the latter documents have to be considered as the main references for the interpretation of horizontal issues related to the New Legislative Framework and the LVD respectively.6 See http://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/goods/building-blocks/market-surveillance/organisation/index_en.htm7 Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers (OJ L 55, 28.2.2011, p. 13)8Pyrotechnic Articles Directive 2013/29/EU (applicable 1 July 2015); Civil Explosives Directive 2014/28/EU, Simple Pressure Vessels Directive 2014/29/EU, Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU, Non-automatic Weighing Instruments Directive 2014/31/EU, Measuring Instruments Directive 2014/32/EU, Lifts Directive 2014/33/EU, ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU (applicable 20 April 2016); Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU (applicable 13 June 2016); Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (applicable 19 July 2016) and Marine Equipment Directive 2014/90/EU (applicable 18 September 2016). See http://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/goods/new-legislative-framework/index_en.htmFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON LVD 2014/35/EUTOPIC QUESTION REPLYPlace on themarketArticles 4, 6, 7, 8Difference between “placing on the market” and“making available on the market” in the frame of2014/35/EU (e.g. in Art. 4 making available is mentioned,but for the same activity when the responsibilities ofeconomic operators are covered – e.g. Art. 6, 7, 8 –placing on the market is mentioned)?'Making available' is the overall concept. Any transfer between economicoperators of a product is considered as making available. 'Placing on themarket' is a specific case of making available, namely it is the first time thatthe product is introduced on the market. It is important because at thatmoment the EU legislation applies. Any subsequent transfer is makingavailable.The operation is reserved either for a manufacturer or an importer, i.e. themanufacturer and the importer are the only economic operators who placeproducts on the market. When a manufacturer or an importer supplies aproduct to a distributor or an end-user for the first time, that operation islabelled in legal terms as placing on the market. Any subsequent operation,for instance, form a distributor to another or to an end-user is defined asmaking available.See also § 2.2. "Making available" and § 2.3. "Placing on the market" ofthe "Blue Guide"3In many cases products can be marketed through internet or other means but the product is not physically in the EU. Placing on the market requires the products to be physically in the EU territory? Union harmonisation legislation applies to all forms of selling. A product offered in a catalogue or by means of electronic commerce has to comply with Union harmonisation legislation when the catalogue or website directs its offer to the Union market and includes an ordering and shipping system. Products offered for sale online by sellers based outside the EU are considered to be placed on the Union market if sales are specifically targeted at EU consumers or businesses.See also § 2.1. "Product coverage" of the "Blue Guide"ManufacturerArticle 6.5 Type, batch or serial number:Does this Article mean that a product specification isrequired, but not necessarily a serial number? Wouldthere be a way to specify the sequential serial numberusing a barcode?The important point is that the numbering must allow making a clear link tothe relevant documentation that demonstrates the conformity of the specifictype of product, in particular the declaration of conformity.A barcode can also be used if this can reasonably be considered by amanufacturer as an appropriate way to identify and trace his products and tomake the link to the relevant documentation. Depending on the product, itis up to the manufacturer to decide whether the identification elementshould allow the identification of each single product or just the relevantbatch or type. But manufacturers should be aware that when publicauthorities recall products and it is not possible to distinguish betweenbatches or serial numbers, all products of that brand must be removed fromthe market.The Directive allows placing the information on the packaging or in adocument accompanying the electrical equipment if the size or nature ofthe electrical equipment does not allow it. Of course if the information is4not visible at a first sight, it must be easily and safely accessible. See also § 4.2.2.3. "Identification element" of the "Blue Guide"Article 6.6Name and address on the productIf lack of space, would be possible to indicate the nameand address within the product?The manufacturer must indicate his (1) name, (2) registered trademark and(3) a single contact postal address on the product or, when not possiblebecause of the size or physical characteristics of the product, on itspackaging and/or on the accompanying documentation.If the information is put inside the product, it must be easily accessible bythe Market Surveillance Authorities, without damaging the product or theneed for disassembling it with specific tools.See also §3.1. "Manufacturer" and §4.2.2.1. "The requirement to indicatename and address of the manufacturer" of the "Blue Guide"Must the information refer to the local distributor or theeconomic operator placing the product on the EU market?The information is related to the economic operator that places the producton the market i.e. the manufacturer or importer, not the distributor.In the case that a company is based in a third country andin an EU country, is necessary to put the information ofboth places as manufacturer and importer?If both, manufacturer and importer belong to the same group or companyand if the company based in the EU takes the full manufacturer'sresponsibility, the indication of the branch based in the EU will suffice tocomply with the requirements.5The postal address in which the manufacturer can be contacted, must be the one of the manufacturer? Not necessarily. The postal address must be "at which [the manufacturer] can be contacted": this is not necessarily the address where the manufacturer is actually established. This address can for example be the one of the authorised representative or of the customer services.See also § 4.2.2.1. "The requirement to indicate name and address for manufacturers" of the "Blue Guide"How to implement the requirement that the contact details shall be in a language easily understood? This provision refers to the use of alphabets. The address details do not have to be translated. The characters of the language must allow identifying the origin and the name of the company. This is not possible with certain alphabets.Article 6.7Instructions and safety informationWhat does mean ‘manufacturer’s documentation’ withinthe Low Voltage Directive?As Low Voltage Directive covers safety matters only,may any mandatory documentation relate to safety only? Instructions and safety information need to be provided, whether the product is intended for consumers or other end-users. The Low Voltage Directive does not make a distinction on who is the user of the product. The documentation should include all the necessary information for the safe use of the product, to enable the consumer to assemble, install, operate, store, maintain, repair, and dispose of the product.It is for the manufacturer to determine the relevant information which should be included in the instructions and safety information for a particular product.One single document can include both safety info and instructions.6Should each product sold in a bulk contain the instructions and safety information?May documents for products to be used most likely by professionals remain only in English? In principle, every individual product must be accompanied by the safety instructions but it does not mean that the full instructions must be given in paper. In some specific cases, where several identical products are bundled in a packaging for use in one application (e.g. installation equipment), it is sufficient to accompany the shipping unit with one set of instructions. If another economic operator along the distribution chain dismantles the bundle and sells the products individually, he should ensure that each product individually sold is accompanied by the necessary instructions and safety information.It is the national law that must indicate the languages required and if the use of English is allowed for specific uses.This item will also be clarified in the Blue Guide.See also § 3.1. "Manufacturer" of the "Blue Guide"Article 6.8The Directive requires that where the electrical equipmentpresents a risk, manufacturers shall immediately informthe competent national authorities.Which is the threshold of unacceptable risk above whichauthorities have to be informed? The acceptable level of risk for a product is determined by the compliance with the essential requirements. The essential requirements of the LVD have not been changed and therefore the previous thresholds for assessing the risks would continue to apply.7Importer Article 8.2“Before placing electrical equipment on the marketimporters shall ensure that the appropriate conformityassessment procedure has been carried out by themanufacturer. They shall ensure that the manufacturer hasdrawn up the technical documentation, that the electricalequipment bears the CE marking and is accompanied bythe required documents, and that the manufacturer hascomplied with the requirements set out in Article 6(5) and(6)”How do we interpret “the market importers shallensure”? Does it mean that the importers must have acopy of the declaration of conformity and the TechnicalDocumentation?The importer needs to have a copy of the declaration of conformity and hasto keep it for 10 years after a product has been placed on the market.The importer does not have to have a copy of the technical documentationbut has to ensure that the technical documentation can be made available tothe competent national authority upon request.Even if there is no explicit obligation, the importer is advised to requireformal assurance in writing from the manufacturer that the documents willbe made available when requested by the surveillance authority. But thetechnical documentation can be given directly by the manufacturer to thesurveillance authorities. What is important is that the authorities receive thedocumentation and that at importer's request the manufacturer provides theinformation to Member States.The importer also has to check the CE marking, labelling of the product,the identification number of the product, the contact details and that thecorrect conformity assessment procedure has been carried out.See also § 3.3 of the Blue Guide on the obligations of importersShould be the product accompanied not only by theinstructions for usage and safety but also by the CEdeclaration of conformity and/or technicaldocumentation?In the LVD context, the only document that has to accompany the productis the instructions and safety information.8Article 8.4“Importers shall ensure that the electrical equipment is accompanied by instructions and safety information in a language which can be easily understood by consumers and other end-users, as determined by the Member State concerned.”Can the product be imported with instructions only in English created by the manufacturer, and can the importer himself create a translation of the instructions that will accompany the product when is placed on the Union market? The Directive does not specify which economic operator has to translate the instructions and safety information. Manufacturers, importers and distributors have the obligation to ensure that the product is accompanied by instructions in a language which can be easily understood by consumers and other end-users, as determined by the Member State concerned.It is for each economic operator which makes available the product in a Member State, to ensure that all the languages are available. Nothing prevents economic operators from reaching contractual agreements on the manner in which they are translated.What happens if the product is placed on a market for which the manufacturer has not foreseen a translation? A manufacturer has a certain set of languages where he intends to ship the product but if it goes somewhere else, importer and distributor must ensure that instructions are translated in the relevant language. It depends on how economic operators are organised by contractual arrangements.What happens with bad translations? According to Article 6.7, instructions and safety information, as well as any labelling, shall be clear, understandable and intelligible and therefore bad translations will be considered as non-compliance.9Distributor Article 9.2“Before making electrical equipment available on themarket, distributors shall verify that the electricalequipment bears the CE marking, that it is accompaniedby the required documents and by instructions and safetyinformation in a language which can be easily understoodby consumers and other end-users in the Member State inwhich the electrical equipment is to be made available onthe market, and that the manufacturer and the importerhave complied with the requirements set out in Article6(5) and (6) and Article 8(3) respectively.”What exactly are the “required documents” that arementioned in this paragraph?The "required documents” that the distributor needs to make sure that arepresent are the ones which have to accompany the product, as described ineach aligned Directive.In LVD, besides the CE marking which the product needs to bear, therequired documents are only the instructions and safety information. Thedistributor does not have to have a copy of the Declaration of conformityor the Technical Documentation.See also § 3.4 of the Blue Guide.How do the distributors check if the requirements weremet except for the CE marking and the instructions ofusage and safety?The distributor must check that the manufacturer and importer haveindicated their name, registered trade name or trademark and the address atwhich they can be contacted on the product or when not possible becauseof the size or physical characteristics of the products, on its packagingand/or accompanying documentation and that the product bears a type,batch or serial number or other element allowing the identification of theproduct.10The distributor must be able to identify the manufacturer, his authorisedrepresentative, the importer or the person who has provided him with theproduct in order to assist the market surveillance authority in its efforts toobtain the EU declaration of conformity and the necessary parts of thetechnical documentation. Market surveillance authorities have thepossibility to address their request for the technical documentation directlyto the distributor. The latter, is however not expected to be in possession ofthe relevant documentation.Regarding the declaration of conformity, few electrical products fall onlyunder the LVD, normally they are covered by other Directives too. Whenseveral Directives regulate a product, the DoC should refer to all of themand the essential requirements. For this reason, when one product iscovered by several Directives for which the DoC must accompany theproduct, if the LVD applies as well, its reference should be included in the'global' DoC. This should be checked by the importer or distributor.In this regard, when some Directives apply, such as lifts, machinery orR&TTE, the LVD ceases to apply.Article 9.5“Distributors shall, further to a reasoned request from acompetent national authority, provide it with all theinformation and documentation in paper or electronicform necessary to demonstrate the conformity of electrical equipment. They shall cooperate with that authority, at its request, on any action taken to eliminate the risks posed by electrical equipment which they have made available on the market.” There is not specific time limit in the Directive for a "reasonable period". This period has to be assessed by the authorities on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the level of urgency/seriousness of risk and the efforts for the economic operator to follow-up the request. A default period could be e.g. 10 working days, but giving the possibility to shorten it or extend depending of the case. Member States are free to fix a default period inWhat is a reasonable period for the distributors to provide the necessary documents, taking in account the fact that even the smallest distributor should provide the information? their national laws, but there should always be a possibility to shorten or prolong that period.Harmonised standards Article 12List of harmonised standardsWhat would happen with the list of LVD harmonisedstandards if in the date of applicability of the newDirective new standards are not published?The LVD mandate requests CENELEC to provide the list of harmonisedstandards two months before the date of applicability of the new Directive.If the list of harmonised standards referring to the new Directive is notpublished in time, the mandate and Article 27 of the new LVD state that thereferences to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to thenew Directive. Therefore, references to the existing LVD would givepresumption of conformity with the safety objectives of the new Directive2014/35/EU, because they remain the same.Are LVD harmonized standards going to content anAnnex ZA indicating the safety objectives covered by thestandard?The LVD mandate request CENELEC to include the Annex ZA only innew or revised standards, 12 months after the date of application of the newDirective.The annex ZA template will be unified for all New Legislative FrameworkDirectives and ESOs taking into consideration the Directives particularities.Declaration of conformityArticle 15.2Article 15.1 Article 15.2 TranslationIs the translation of the EU declaration of conformitymanufacturer's responsibility when he markets theequipment under his name or trade mark?Can the importer translate the declaration before heplaces the product on the market or can the distributortranslate it before making it available on the market andprovide the translation together with the EU declarationof conformity of the manufacturer which is for examplein English?Union harmonisation legislation does not necessarily specify who has theobligation to translate.It must be considered that, in the LVD, just the manufacturer or theimporter has to have a copy of the DoC. There can be a contractualarrangement between the manufacturer and the importer about who doesthe translation. It should be noted that there is a compulsory template of theDoC in Annex IV, which is translated in the OJEU in all EU languages.Must the translations of the declaration of conformity besigned by the manufacturer?The EU declaration of conformity must be signed by the manufacturer (byan individual working for the manufacturer) or his authorisedrepresentative, and the employee's function shall also be indicated.If a translation of the EU declaration of conformity is not signed by themanufacturer, a copy of the original EU declaration of conformity signedby the manufacturer must be provided together with the translated version. Information to be includedWhich information must be included in the declaration ofconformity?If a manufacturer produces a declaration of conformity that follows strictlythe template set out in Annex IV, he will completely fulfil the requirementsof the declaration of conformity. The reference in Annex III does not addany additional requirement. Additional information can be included.Article 15.3Reference to the new LVDFrom what date a manufacturer has to mention the newdirectives for his EU declaration of conformity (DoC)? Before 20 April 2016 all the EC declarations of conformity for LVD products placed on the EU market must be in line with Directive2006/95/EC. According to Article 25, products that are already in the distribution chain before 20 April 2016 (including stockpiles: see Recital 36) can continue to be made available on the EU market with this EC declaration of conformity referring to Directive 2006/95/EC as they have already been lawfully placed on the market. Declarations of conformity (EC or EU) remain valid according to the legislation in force when the product is placed on the market (= made available on the EU market for the first time). There is no need to change legislative references in documents accompanying the product.For LVD products placed on the EU market as of 20 April 2016 the EU declaration of conformity must be in accordance to the new LVD2014/35/EU by that date.Although in the LVD case, the DoC does not have to accompany the product, electrical equipment must comply with other EU legislation and the DoC accompanies often the product. In order to facilitate the transition to the new Directive 2014/35/EU, the EU declaration of conformity can indicate the following: “The object of the declaration described above is in conformity with the relevant Union harmonisation legislation: Directive 2006/95/EC (until April 19th, 2016) and Directive 2014/35/EU (from April 20th, 2016).”Equipment presenting arisk Article 19What is the purpose of Article 19 which describes theprocedure to deal with electrical equipment presenting arisk at national level?Article 19 describes the procedure for products presenting a risk.If upon request of the market surveillance authority (MSA), the economicoperator agrees to take the necessary corrective action (voluntary measuresby the operator), the procedure ends here. In this case, if the MSA considerthat the risk goes beyond the national territory, they will inform theCommission and other Member States (MS) of the results of the evaluationand the actions the economic operator intends to take.However, if the economic operator does not take corrective action asrequested by the MSA, the MSA shall take appropriate measures againstthe product (compulsory measures). In this case, the national authoritiesnotify the measure to the Commission and other MS, who have thepossibility to object to it during a 3-month period. If no objection is raised,the measure is deemed to be justified. In this case all Member States areobliged to take appropriate action against the product on their territories.If objections are raised, the Commission needs to take a decision todetermine whether the measure should be considered as justified or not(Union safeguard procedure in Article 20).The purpose is that restrictive measures against the product are not anunjustified restriction of the free movement of goods. Additionally, is aninformation-sharing tool between MSAs. This exchange of information,although non-compulsory in the phase of voluntary corrective actions, isalso expected to be submitted by the MSA to other MS.The safeguard clause procedure has not changed and must be applied in。

关于新EMC指令(2014/30/EU)认证标准的消息 2014年3月29日，欧盟委员会发布了修订后的EMC指令（指令号2014/30/EU），已于2014年4月18日生效。

旧有的EMC指令2004/108/EC将于2016年4月20日废除。

要证明产品符合欧盟相关法规（包括EMC指令），通常做法是按照协调标淮（Harmonized Standards）进行测试；如果产品符合协调标淮的要求，则可以假定产品符合相关法规的要求。

协调标淮是由公认的欧洲标淮组织（包括CEN，CENELEC及ETSI）所制定的欧洲标淮。

协调标淮清单不定期在欧盟官方公报（OJEU）上进行发布。

然而直到现在，最新的欧盟官方公报只对EMC指令（2004/108/EC）的协调标淮清单进行了更新。

欧盟尚未发布针对最新EMC指令（2014/30/EU）的协调标淮清单。

如果制造商根据2004/108/EC的协调标淮来申明符合新EMC指令（2014/30/EU），并不符合现行强制性法律要求。

其产品可能于海关上被拒绝进口。

任何基于2004/108/EC所列的协调标淮进行新EMC指令（2014/30/EU）认证是一种误导。

2014/30/EU不应该在欧盟官方公告协调标淮之前用于合规声明（Declaration of Conformity)。

关于新EMC指令(2014/30/EU)认证标准的消息，北测检测将继续关注，敬请期待！。
