Mr. Griver's answer is dead on correct (assuming you are purchasing an approved external power supply). Your device doesn't fall within the scope of the LVD, however, for Marketing and Liability issues you should obtain approval. As Mr. Griver noted, most requirements will be N/A. This is pri

John, Such a product does not fall within the scope of the LVD, but the manufacturer would be very unwise not to have it evaluated to the applicable safety standard. The EU has a Product Liability Directive, which basically requires that manufacturers ensure that their products are safe. Even i

More words (opinions) on this issue.. The "scope" of IEC 60950 does not establish a lower voltage limit. Section 1.1.1 states "This standard is applicable to mains-powered or battery-powered information technology equipment with a rated voltage not exceeding 600V." Section 1.2.4.3 simply

John, I will assume from your comments that the device is SELV per the standards, i.e. non-hazardous voltages. This is a Class III unit. It does fall under the standard for one simple reason. The "scope" of the standard says for "mains or battery powered" devices. If you had no batteries, but

Hello all, Does a hand-held field device that operates mainly on 12Vdc from a group of batteries and alternatively uses an AC/DC adapter need to be assessed for safety according to the LVD? I read somewhere that for LVD the DC voltage should be between 75 and 1500V. Does this mean that such a
