The Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC require electrical equipment to have protection against hazards that could arise from within the electrical equipment itself or from external influences. The directive covers all risks arising from the use of electrical equipment, including mechanical, chemical (such as, in particular, emission of aggressive substances) and all other risks. The directive also covers noise and vibration, and ergonomic aspects which could cause hazards within the scope of the directive. The directive covers electrical equipment designed for use with a voltage rating between 50 and 1000 V for an alternating current and between 75 and 1500 V for a direct current. These voltage ratings refer to the voltage of the electrical input or output, not to voltages that may appear inside the equipment. For most electrical equipment, the health aspects of emissions of electromagnetic fields are also under the domain of the Low Voltage Directive.
The general requirements of the directive are:
