The Low Voltage Directive (LVD) is a European Union regulation that ensures the safety of electrical equipment operating within a voltage range of 50 to 1,000 volts AC and 75 to 1,500 volts DC. It establishes essential safety requirements for such products to protect consumers and workers from electrical hazards. Manufacturers must adhere to these standards and affix the CE mark to compliant products, indicating their conformity with LVD. The directive aims to facilitate the free movement of electrical products within the EU while maintaining a high level of safety.
