No. Article 1 clause 2 excludes (inter alia):
(k) electrical and electronic products falling within the
following areas, insofar as they are covered by Council
Directive 73/23/EEC of 19 February 1973 on the harmonisation
of the laws of Member States relating to electrical
equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (3):
— household appliances intended for domestic use,
— audio and video equipment,
— information technology equipment,
— ordinary office machinery,
— low-voltage switchgear and control gear,
— electric motors;
Of course, the reference to 73/23/EEC has to be interpreted as referring
to 2014/35/EU.
It's much easier now to get the Directives from the Eur-Lex web site
(until they re-design it again, probably). A web search for the
directive name should show the relevant Eur-Lex web page. Don't bother
with any other site, especially if it wants to charge you $$$ for what
is a free download.
