EUROPEAN DIRECTIVES & OPTICS

Do you Manufacture? Import? Export? Purchase Machinery? - then read on . . .

A manufacturer, importer or purchaser of goods containing electrical or electronic parts must ensure several European directives are met before placing them onto the market, or taking them into service. 

The three most common directives encountered are the  Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive, 2014/30/EU, the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), 2014/35/EU, and the Machinery Directive (MD), 2006/42/EC. Exporters too need to be aware of these directives as they are required in Europe and are increasingly specified throughout the world.
