WHAT IS THE LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE?
Electrical safety. Supported by evidence.
The Low Voltage Directive, 2014/35/EU, sets safety objectives for electrical equipment within specified voltage limits. It covers many consumer and professional products, with exclusions that must be checked for each product.
CEB helps you turn the applicable requirements into a manageable preparation plan. We review the product information you already hold, clarify what needs attention and support the organisation of your technical documentation. The approach begins with your product, its intended use and the evidence available.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your questions, answered.
Useful answers about LVD consultancy, product scope, testing and the documentation supporting CE marking.
No. CEB provides consultancy. LVD does not require notified-body certification; the manufacturer is responsible for conformity assessment. Our role is to support preparation, not to approve the product or guarantee compliance.
It generally covers equipment rated between 50–1,000 V AC or 75–1,500 V DC. Product-specific exclusions also apply. Share the product type, voltage ratings and intended use so we can discuss its scope.
This service is consultancy. Where testing is needed, we can help organise the questions and available evidence for your chosen laboratory or technical specialists. Testing arrangements, responsibilities and costs are agreed separately.
Yes, they are a useful starting point. We help review how the available information relates to your product and identify gaps, outdated records or questions requiring technical clarification. Bring the actual documents, not just a list of certificates.
No. CE marking must address all applicable EU product legislation. EMC, RoHS or other requirements may also need consideration. We discuss the product’s wider context when agreeing the consultancy scope.
Share a product description, intended use, voltage ratings and target markets. Include available drawings, specifications, component records, instructions and test reports, together with any planned launch date. We will agree what is needed next.
