More Introduction

1. Introduction of LVD certification

LVD Low Voltage Directive (LowVoltage Directive 2006/95/EEC), a directive on the harmonization of regulations for electrical equipment within a specific voltage (low voltage) range in member states.

2. The relationship between LVD directive and CE mark

The CE mark is a self-declaration that the manufacturer's products comply with the requirements of the corresponding EU directives, including the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC), etc. In order to clearly indicate that the product complies with its Low Voltage Directive, the CE mark must be marked on the product. If the CE mark cannot be marked on the product, it can also be marked on the product packaging, user manual or warranty (guarantee). The way a manufacturer marks a product with the CE mark is to inform the governments of the European Community that his product is legally sold and that the product meets the official requirements contained in the CE mark. However, the CE mark is not a mark recognized by consumers, but is only an approval mark approved by the governments of the European Community for import.

3. The scope of application of LVD

The Low Voltage Directive applies to all electrical equipment used in the range of AC 50V to 1000V and DC 75V to 1500V. This voltage range refers to the input or output voltage of the device, not the voltages that may occur inside the device.

4. LVD common standard

product	standard
IT/AV power supplies/products	EN62368-1 EN60335-1 EN60335-2-29
wireless products	EN62368-1
Home appliances	EN60335-1 EN60335-2-29 EN60335-XX
medical products	EN60601-1

5. LVD certification process

Step 1: Application (1. Fill in the application form 2. Provide information and send samples);

Step 2: Quote (according to the information you provide, an engineer will formulate the corresponding standard, test time and corresponding cost);

Step 3: Payment (After the applicant confirms the quotation, signs the application form and service agreement and pays the payment);

Step 4: Testing (the laboratory will conduct a full set of tests on the applied product according to the relevant EU testing standards);

Step 5: The test is passed and the report is completed;

Step 6: The project is completed and CE certificate is issued;

6. Items to be tested for LVD certification

Power test	temperature rise test
Needle flame test	Ball pressure test
Leakage current test	Motor stall test
Overload test	Working voltage test
Pressure test	High and low temperature test
Plug Torque Test	Impact test
Humidity test	Plug discharge test
Glow Wire Assay Test	Component destruction test
Power cord pull test	Insulation resistance test
Earth Resistance Test	Roller drop test
Screw Torque Test	Stability testing, etc.

7. Validity period of LVD certification

Depending on whether the standard has expired, if the standard has expired, the certificate will expire accordingly, requiring re-certification.

8. LVD certification laboratory

Anxi Testing strictly implements quality control in accordance with the laboratory accreditation system specification ISO/IEC 17025, and has established an industry-leading large-scale testing base in South China (Dongguan). Anxi Testing focuses on the global certification testing of IT, AV, power supply, wireless and other electronic products, and has obtained China CNAS L6214, CMA (201819013768) accreditation, international IEC authorized CBTL testing laboratory, American UL/A2LA (4422.01), British ITS, It is accredited by major international certification agencies such as South Korea's KTC, Germany's TÜV, and Belgium's Eurofines, and its professional certification strength is beyond doubt.
