Re: LVD directive in Scandinavia
Dear Patrick, Thanks for your response. According to your explanation, no matter compliant EN 60065 or IEC 60065 standard just cover the neutral part of required standard and all require additional country deviation tests. Do the Scandinavian countries traditionally accept VDE standard? If so, would it be easier to build the product to a single standard rather than multiple standards. The testing would be simpler as well. Is it a real case in the world? Thanks and regards, Raymond Li Omni Source Asia Ltd.
