ANNEX I

Principal Elements of the Safety Objectives for Electrical Equipment Designed For Use within Certain Voltage
Limits

1. General conditions

(a) The essential characteristics, 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 equipment, or, if this is not
possible, on an accompanying notice.

(b) The brand name or the trade mark should be clearly printed on the electrical equipment or, where that is not
possible, on the packaging.

(c) The electrical equipment, together with its component parts, should be made in such a way as to ensure that it
can be safely and properly assembled and connected.

(d) The electrical equipment should be so designed and manufactured as to ensure that protection against the
hazards set out in points 2 and 3 of this Annex 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 should be prescribed in accordance with point 1, in order to ensure:

(a) that persons and domestic animals are adequately protected against the danger of physical injury or other harm
which might be caused by direct or indirect contact;

(b) that temperatures, arcs or radiation which would cause a danger, are not produced;

(c) that persons, domestic animals and property are adequately protected against non-electrical dangers caused by
the electrical equipment which are revealed by experience;

(d) that the insulation must be suitable for foreseeable conditions.

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

Technical measures are to be laid down in accordance with point 1, in order to ensure:

(a) that the electrical equipment meets the expected mechanical requirements in such a way that persons, domestic
animals and property are not endangered;

(b) that the electrical equipment shall be resistant to non-mechanical influences in expected environmental
conditions, in such a way that persons, domestic animals and property are not endangered;

(c) that the electrical equipment shall not endanger persons, domestic animals and property in foreseeable
conditions of overload.


ANNEX II

Equipment and Phenomena outside the Scope of this Directive

Electrical equipment for use in an explosive atmosphere

Electrical equipment for radiology and medical purposes

Electrical parts for goods and passenger lifts

Electricity meters

Plugs and socket outlets for domestic use

Electric fence controllers

Radio-electrical interference

Specialised electrical equipment, for use on ships, aircraft or railways, which complies with the safety provisions drawn up
by international bodies in which the Member States participate.


ANNEX III

Ce Conformity Marking And EC Declaration of Conformity

A. CE conformity marking

The CE conformity marking shall consist of the initials ‘CE’ taking the following form:

— If the CE marking is reduced or enlarged the proportions given in the above graduated drawing must be
respected.

— The various components of the CE marking must have substantially the same vertical dimension, which may
not be less than 5 mm.

B. EC declaration of conformity

The EC declaration of conformity must contain the following elements:

— name and address of the manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the Community,

— a description of the electrical equipment,

— reference to the harmonised standards,

— where appropriate, references to the specifications with which conformity is declared,

— identification of the signatory who has been empowered to enter into commitments on behalf of the
manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the Community,

— the last two digits of the year in which the CE marking was affixed.


ANNEX IV

Internal Production Control

1. Internal production control is the procedure whereby the manufacturer or his authorised representative established
within the Community, who carries out the obligations laid down in point 2, ensures and declares that the electrical
equipment satisfies the requirements of this Directive that apply to it. The manufacturer or his authorised
representative established within the Community must affix the CE marking to each product and draw up a written
declaration of conformity.

2. The manufacturer must establish the technical documentation described in point 3 and he or his authorised
representative established within the Community must keep it on Community territory at the disposal of the relevant
national authorities for inspection purposes for a period ending at least 10 years after the last product has been
manufactured.

Where neither the manufacturer nor his authorised representative is established within the Community, this
obligation is the responsibility of the person who places the electrical equipment on the Community market.

3. Technical documentation must enable the conformity of the electrical equipment to the requirements of this Directive
to be assessed. It must, as far as relevant for such assessment, cover the design, manufacture and operation of the
electrical equipment. It must include:

— a general description of the electrical equipment,

— conceptual design and manufacturing drawings and schemes of components, sub-assemblies, circuits, etc.,

— descriptions and explanations necessary for the understanding of said drawings and schemes and the operation
of the electrical equipment,

— a list of the standards applied in full or in part, and descriptions of the solutions adopted to satisfy the safety
aspects of this Directive where standards have not been applied,

— results of design calculations made, examinations carried out, etc.,

— test reports.

4. The manufacturer or his authorised representative must keep a copy of the declaration of conformity with the
technical documentation.

5. The manufacturer must take all measures necessary in order that the manufacturing process shall ensure compliance
of the manufactured products with the technical documentation referred to in point 2 and with the requirements of
this Directive that apply to them.
