Seite 3Sektor Infrastructure & Cities, Division Low and Medium Voltage, Low Voltage & Products New Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU Trial modules which are produced for customer and application-specific purposes and which are used exclusively by experts in research and development facilities for such purposes are now exempted from the Low Voltage Directive. (Annex II) The safety objectives were extended to cover domestic animals. (Annex I) In accordance with Annex III, the technical documentation must now include a risk analysis and assessment. In accordance with the newly introduced Chapter 2, manufacturers, authorized representatives, importers and traders are subject to extended obligations. With a view to traceability, stricter regulations are listed for all parties involved. For example, electrical equipment must bear not only the name and address of the manufacturer, but also a type, batch or serial number, so that it can be assigned to the technical documentation. In the case of imports, the name and address of the importer must also be specified.

First, harmonized standards that were published in the Official Journal are to be consulted, alternatively the safety requirements of the IEC standards, and if no IEC standards are available for the product in question, suitable national standards can be used. The new Low Voltage Directive must be applied as of 20 April 2016. Up until then, electrical equipment that still complies with Directive 2006/95/EC may be distributed.
