Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2004/108/EEC
Scope:
The Council Directive 2004/108/EEC of 15 December 2004 on the approximation of
the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC
Directive) governs on the one hand the electromagnetic emissions of this equipment in
order to ensure that, in its intended use, such equipment does not disturb radio and
telecommunication as well as other equipment. In the other the Directive also governs
the immunity of such equipment to interference and seeks to ensure that this
equipment is not disturbed by radio emissions normally present used as intended.
Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 73/23/EEC
Scope:
The Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 73/23/EEC seeks to ensure that electrical
equipment within certain voltage limits both provides a high level of protection for
European citizens and enjoys a Single Market in the European Union. The Directive
covers 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. It should
be noted that 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
