Electrical Safety Comes First

Electrical equipment is everywhere — from household appliances to industrial control panels. As their use becomes more widespread, so does the need for ensuring their safety.

The Low Voltage Directive (LVD) defines the essential health and safety requirements for electrical devices operating between 50–1000 V AC and 75–1500 V DC. These requirements must be fully met before a product can legally be placed on the EU market.

Why LVD Matters

LVD ensures products are:

• Protected against electric shock
• Properly insulated and safe from fire risk
• Designed with adequate clearance and creepage distances
• Safe to install, operate, and maintain over their lifespan

Non-compliance with LVD can result in serious legal and commercial consequences — including customs holds, product recalls, or even market bans.
