John, As Kaz pointed out by his web link, the document has now reached revision 5. However, the proposals were developed in a small(ish) working group where not all Member States were present. Also, many comments by those who participated in the development of this document were not resolved in the creation of LVD.5, but the Commission wished to a document into the public domain. Finally, the proposal still has to be reviewed by the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers before it can become law. So, not only are parts of Annex 1 set in modelling clay, so too are other aspects. Of course, the WEEE and RoHS both go down to 0V and so too does the R&TTED. Does this guarantee that the LVD will go down to 0V? I'm not sure who would be in a position to give such a guarantee.
