RE: Oops! 72/23/EEC?

[POWELL, DOUG]

Pretty interesting, I went through the same exercise using Google, with
similar results.  I also double checked my company literature and all is in
good order.  Apparently some folks simply replicate what others have done
with 'apparent' success, and don't check for accuracy.  It would be
interesting to learn where this 'bug' first entered the system and how it
propagated.

Call me picky, but I usually go straight to the source as my first choice
for information.  For example the Europa website for specifics on directives
and legislation, the CENELEC web site to learn about publication and
withdrawal dates on standards and I actually ordered and read EN 45014
General Criteria for Supplier's Declaration of Conformity to layout our
company declarations.

Oops! 72/23/EEC?

[georgea]

One of our OEM customers called me this morning with a question.
It seems that one of our European Union Declarations of Conformity
listed the Low Voltage Directive as 72/23/EEC, while others had listed
73/23/EEC.  I replied that I was fairly certain that 73/23/EEC was correct,
but would check it out.

If you do a Google search on 73/23/EEC, you will get all the expected
references on the EU LVD.  However, if you do a search on 72/23/EEC,
you will see many mfrs DoCs listing 72/23/EEC, but  no references to
the source of such a document.

Apparantly someone made a typographical error once upon a time, which
has infiltrated the DoCs of many respected manufacturers, inluding ours.

If anyone is aware of an actual EU Directive 72/23/EEC, please post the
URL for its description and text.
