New LVD (Low Voltage Directive) has been issued in the OJ (Official Journal), 27 December 2006. The new LVD directive 2006/95/EG will come in force by 16 January 2007.
This new LVD is only a merge of the 73/23/EEG and 93/68/EEG, no changes in the requirements for CE marking per LVD.
Since no changes in the requirements, revision or re-issuance of old test report or certificates are not required. For the new certificates, Lander will change the LVD reference in all relevant certificates now.

REMARK: What is Low Voltage Directive?
This directive sets the requirements for electrical safety of electrotechnical products for European Union. It was written in a general way without elaborating technical details in the directive. The directive states, "The objective of the Low Voltage Directive is only to permit electrical material to be put on the market if it does not jeopardize the safety of persons, domestic animals and goods. The freedom of movement of safe electrical material within the Community must be safeguarded." Low voltage for the purposes of this directive is defined in Article 1 as any electrical equipment designed for use with a voltage rating between 50 and 1000 V for alternating current and between 75 and 1500 V for direct current, other than some exceptional items listed in its Annex.
