Annex VII LVDの適用範囲内又は適用範囲外の製品の例

A. General

1. The safety of these products, with or without fuse, is governed by the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD)

2. See also: socket outlet with Switch.

3. If they fall within the scope of EN 61995, the LVD is applicable. If they do not fall within the scope of EN 61995, the GPSD is applicable.

4. The safety of domestic plugs attached to the electrical equipment (ex to the cord extension) is governed by the GPSD. Thus Member States may apply their national safety regulations or standards on plugs.

5. Multilple travel adaptors have one or more socket outlets that via an electro-mechanical switch can be paired with different plugs. The “switch” is a LVD product, and therefore the whole product is deemed to fall under the LVD (same rationale is used for cord extension leads, where there is a national plug in one end and a portable national socket outlet in the other – the two connected by a cable, which is covered by the LVD). More intelligent travel adapters, that i.e. contains electronic components such as an overvoltage protector, thermal device, LED-lamp or similar will also fall under the LVD, since the extra element between the plug and the socket outlet is covered by the LVD. 6. A simple travel adapter is per definition an adapter that only consists of a plug from one national system (that is not in the scope of the LVD) to a socket outlet of another national system (that is not in the scope of the LVD) and nothing else. In this case this simple adapter contains only elements that are not covered by the LVD, and as a consequence the simple travel adapter is not covered by the LVD. But since it is a consumer product, a simple travel adaptor falls under the GPSD scope. There is also an international safety standard IEC 60884-2-5.

There are also simple adapters that on the socket part and/or the plug part have a combination for several plug / socket systems but operate without sliding contacts or switches.

7. The GSPD is applicable unless fitted to a product which falls itself within the scope of the LVD e.g. electric conductors and/or cables because in this case the LVD is applicable.

8. Electrically operated furniture that includes a motor with additional mechanical elements is covered by the Machinery Directive – see also the Guide to application of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC - Edition 2.1, sections §67 and §69.

B. Socket outlet with Switch

In countries with the system, Type E and Type F socket outlet are generally supplied without a switch, those with switches generally being a socket outlet assembly and a switch assembly supplied as a common assembly, these should be CE-marked. In countries with Type K, the socket outlet is delivered both as an integrated unit build together with a switch and as a single modular socket outlet without a switch. In countries with the system Type G system generally use a switched socket outlet. In Type G and Type K systems, switched socket outlets being a complete assembly, i.e. a single product, only used as a part of the National plug and socket outlet system and therefore being excluded from the LVD and as a consequence of this should not be CE-marked.

Type E Type F “Schuko”
