Free guide to the new Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU

Rittal has developed a guide, The New Low Voltage Directive, outlining the new features and requirements. This guide provides information and a brief understanding of 2014/35/EC. It looks at what is new in the directive, what it means for panel builders and switchgear manufacturers, and what they can do to comply, including:

• Ensure technical documentation is in the language of the destination country of the product
• Fulfil the requirements of the applicable product standard(s)
• Prepare a risk analysis
• Remedy potential risks
• Provide a safety data sheet

The use and application of European Standards EN 61439 or EN 60204 will make the risk analyses far easier to prepare simply because by implementing the technical measures of these standards, along with the measures taken by testing them, risks are automatically reduced.

Rittal can offer further guidance around the LVD as required. For example, the company's Introduction to the Application of IEC 61439 seminar is just one of a suite of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminars designed to provide support to industry professionals.

Each seminar has been reviewed and assessed by the Chartered Institute of Building Engineers (CIBSE) to ensure the technical content is of a high standard.
