Electrical Safety: Low Voltage Directive (LVD) - Electrical engineering - Enterprise and Industry. More than a century after their emergence, electrical appliances are still developing more and more to the benefit of society. A safe use of all electrical equipment is a condition to this sustained deployment. The Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2006/95/EC is one of the oldest Single Market Directives adopted before the "New" or "Global" Approach. However, it does characterise both with a conformity assessment procedure applied to equipment before placing on the Market and with Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSRs) which such equipment must meet either directly or by means of harmonised standards. The LVD ensures 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 with a voltage between 50 and 1000 V for alternating current and between 75 and 1500 V for direct current.
