CE Marking Directives Recast. New Approach Standardization in the Internal Market. European Union website, the official EU website. Electrical engineering - Enterprise and Industry. The EU electrical engineering market is the world's largest one (€181 bn), followed by the US and Japan (€96 bn and €84 bn).

Electrical engineering - Enterprise and Industry

There are two main European Directives that apply to electrical and electronic equipment with respect to health, safety and performance: The Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2006/95/EC The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2004/108/EC. They are based on the principles of the so-called "New Approach" which ensure a high level of protection. They prescribe essential requirements, the voluntary use of standards, and the conformity assessment procedures to be applied. The almost total absence of third-party intervention in the conformity assessment greatly reduces the burden on the manufacturer. Additional environmental requirements may also need to be applied (e.g.

Less. IEC 61508. IEC 61508 is an international standard of rules applied in industry.

IEC 61508

It is titled Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-related Systems (E/E/PE, or E/E/PES). IEC 61508 is intended to be a basic functional safety standard applicable to all kinds of industry. It defines functional safety as: “part of the overall safety relating to the EUC (Equipment Under Control) and the EUC control system which depends on the correct functioning of the E/E/PE safety-related systems, other technology safety-related systems and external risk reduction facilities.” The standard covers the complete safety life cycle, and may need interpretation to develop sector specific standards.

It has its origins in the process control industry. The safety life cycle has 16 phases which roughly can be divided into three groups as follows: Phases 1-5 address analysisPhases 6-13 address realisationPhases 14-16 address operation. IEC 61511. IEC 61511 is a technical standard which sets out practices in the engineering of systems that ensure the safety of an industrial process through the use of instrumentation.

Interested parties are then invited to comment on the substance for which a dossier has been prepared. Some substances from the candidate list will be prioritized for authorization and be included in Annex XIV ("SVHC authorization list"). There are 151 substances on SVHC candidate list and 22 substance on SVHC authorization list(updated in April 2013). 94/62/EC. 2013/2/EU Amendment to 94/62/EC.
