The "CE" mark is a safety certification mark and is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. In the EU market, the "CE" mark is a mandatory certification mark. Whether it is a product produced by an enterprise within the EU or a product produced in other countries, in order to circulate freely in the EU market, the "CE" mark must be affixed to indicate that the product Comply with the basic requirements of the EU Directive on New Approaches to Technical Harmonization and Standardization. This is a mandatory requirement for products under EU law.
LVD Low Voltage Directive (Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU), the goal of LVD is to ensure the safety of low-voltage equipment during use. The scope of application of the directive is the use of electrical products with a voltage between 50V to 1000V AC and 75V to 1500V DC. This directive contains all safety rules for this equipment, including protection against mechanical hazards. Equipment shall be so designed and constructed that it will not present a hazard when used for its intended purpose, under normal operating conditions or under fault conditions. In short, the use of electrical and electronic products with voltages between 50V to 1000V and DC 75V to 1500V for CE certification must be certified by the Low Voltage Directive LVD.
The relationship between CE certification and LVD directive
LVD is a directive under CE certification. In addition to LVD directive, CE certification has more than 20 other directives. The most used ones are EMC directive, ERP directive, ROHS directive, etc. When a product is marked with the CE mark, it indicates that the product has met the relevant directive requirements. In fact, CE certification includes the LVD directive. Some products only involve the LVD directive, and only need to apply for the LVD directive, while some products apply for many directives under the CE certification.
The parts that need to be inspected for safety are:
Power Cords, Plugs, Sockets, Couplers, Connectors, AC Inlet, SOCKET, X/Y Capacitors, Fuses, Switches, Thermostats, Dimmers, Timers, Converters, Motors, Horns, Ballasts, Relays , Non-integral lamp holder, safety holder, etc.
EU CE certification LVD directive test project
Power test, temperature rise test, humidity test, glow wire test state test, overload test, leakage current test, withstand voltage test, grounding resistance test, power cord pull test, stability test, plug torque test, impact test, plug discharge test , Component damage test, working voltage test, motor stall test, high and low temperature test, roller drop test, insulation resistance test, ball pressure test, screw torque test, needle flame test, etc.
EU CE certification LVD low voltage test process
1. Project application - submit a testing application to the ZRLK testing agency.
2. Data preparation - According to the standard requirements, the enterprise prepares relevant certification documents.
3. Product testing - the company sends the samples to be tested to the laboratory for testing.
4. Preparation of reports - certified engineers prepare reports based on qualified test data.
5. Submit for review - the engineer will review the complete report.
6. Issuing a certificate - CE certification will be issued after the report is reviewed and verified.
