LVD低電壓指令

為適應歐盟新立法框架（New Legislative Framework，NLF），2014年3月29日，歐盟官方期刊公布了新版本的低電壓指令2014/35/EU，用以替換原有的低電壓指令2006/95/EC。

新指令將于2016年4月20日起執(zhí)行。各成員國必須在2016年4月19日前完成立法程序。換言之，符合舊低電壓指令的產(chǎn)品2016年4月20日后將不被接受。

新指令旨在確保更為簡便的市場準入以及對消費者生命財產(chǎn)更高水平的保護：

1 明確了制造商，進口商和分銷商的責任；

2 在符合性證明中電子手段的更廣泛應用；

3 通過對缺陷或不安全和產(chǎn)品追朔系統(tǒng)的完善，通過不斷完善的對合格性評定機構的制度以及監(jiān)督，消費者的安全更有保障；

4 更加完善的市場監(jiān)督機構追蹤及阻止危險產(chǎn)品的進口；
