Annex ZZ
(informative)

Relationship between this European standard and the safety
objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU [2014 OJ L96] aimed to be
covered

This European standard has been prepared under a Commission’s
standardisation request relating to harmonised standards in the field of
the Low Voltage Directive, M/511, to provide one voluntary means of
conforming to safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation
of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the
market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage
limits [2014 OJ L96].

Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union
under that Directive, compliance with the normative clauses of this
standard given in Table ZZ.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of this
standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding safety
objectives of that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.

a) the essential characteristics, Clause 8
the recognition and observance

of which will ensure that
electrical equipment will be used
safely and in applications for

which it was made, shall be
marked on the electrical
equipment, or, if this is not
possible, on an accompanying
document;
b) the electrical equipment, All clauses
together with its component

parts, shall be made in such a

way as to ensure that it can be
safely and properly assembled
and connected;
c) the electrical equipment shall See item 2 and 3 of this table
be so designed and
manufactured as to ensure that

protection against the hazards
set out in points 2 and 3 is
assured, providing that the
equipment is used in
applications for which it was
made and is adequately
maintained.
2. Protection against hazards
arising from the electrical
equipment

Measures of a technical nature
shall be laid down in accordance
with point 1, in order to ensure
that:
a) persons and domestic Clauses 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
15 and 17
animals are adequately

protected against the danger of

physical injury or other harm
which might be caused by direct
or indirect contact;
b) temperatures, arcs or Clauses 13, 15, 18, 19, 20 and
21
radiation which would cause a


danger, are not produced;
c) persons, domestic animals Clauses 4, 13, 16, 19 and 22
and property are adequately

protected against non-electrical

dangers caused by the electrical
equipment which are revealed
by experience;
d) the insulation is suitable for Clauses 10, 12, 13, 16, 18, 20

foreseeable conditions. and 21
3. Protection against hazards
which may be caused by
external influences on the
electrical equipment

Technical measures shall be
laid down in accordance with
point 1, in order to ensure that
the electrical equipment:
a) meets the expected Clauses 8, 9, 13, 16 and 22
mechanical requirements in

such a way that persons,

domestic animals and property
are not endangered;
b) is resistant to non-mechanical Clauses 13, 15,18, 20 and 21
influences in expected
environmental conditions, in

such a way that persons,
domestic animals and property
are not endangered;

Note 1 to entry: Ignition pulse waveforms, which are considered as ignition pulse voltage, should not contain any
dominant frequency above 30 kHz or should be usually highly damped (after 20 μs the peak voltage level should be
less than one half of the maximum peak voltage). For the assessment of the dominant frequency IEC 60664-
4:2005, Annex E should be consulted.
