LVD 2006/95/EC

Low Voltage Equipment

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

For most electrical equipment, the health aspects of emissions of Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are also under the domain of the Low Voltage Directive.

EMC 2004/108/EC

Electromagnetic Compatibility

EMC is the term used to describe how well a device or system is able to function in an electromagnetic environment without introducing electromagnetic disturbances that interfere with the operation of other electrical products in the environment.

EMI: Electromagnetic Interference, a naturally occurring phenomena when the electromagnetic field of one device disrupts, impedes or degrades the electromagnetic field of another device by coming into proximity with it.

EMS: Electromagnetic Susceptibility, a device, piece of equipment, or system to perform without degradation in the presence of an electromagnetic disturbance

EMC = EMI + EMS

EU Consumer Affairs

RAPEX (Rapid Alert System for non-food consumer products)

RAPEX is the EU rapid alert system for dangerous consumer products – with the exception of food, pharmaceutical and medical devices, which are covered by other mechanisms. It facilitates the rapid exchange of information between Member States and the Commission on measures taken to prevent or restrict the marketing or use of products posing a serious risk to the health and safety of consumers. Both measures ordered by national authorities and measures taken voluntarily by producers and distributors are reported by RAPEX.
