I’m sorry but I don’t know what kind of product your company makes so it is hard to answer specifically.
Does your product fall within the scope of the EN 60204? If so, you are stuck with it. If not, you can’t really use it, can you?. Is there another standard that is a better fit or more specific to your product? If so, is this standard harmonized to the MD? If so, use it. If not, is this standard harmonized under another directive, such as the LVD? If it is, and the directive covers all the hazards within your product, then you will have to decide if Article 3 of the MD applies to where you claim compliance to a different directive and not the MD even though your product can be defined as “machinery” according to the definition in the MD. I hope this was helpful to you. The Other Brian From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] On Behalf Of Kim Boll Jensen Sent: Monday, September 26, 2011 2:53 AM To: emc-p...@ieee.org Subject: EN 60204 Hi The Machinery directive has EN 60204 as its main standard for electrical safety. In the latest version of the directive in Annex 1 §1.5.1 is stated that “The safety objectives set out in Directive 73/23/EEC shall apply to machinery”. Does this mean that we shall use EN 60204 and a LVD standard to prove compliance? I would like to, because EN 60204 is not very specific. Latest I have discovered that it does not describe how to measure leakage current, no reference to eg. IEC 60990.
