2006/95/EC - Directive 2006/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (codified version)

Directive 2006/95/EC harmonises the laws of EU Member States concerning electrical equipment designed for use within specific voltage limits-50 to 1,000 V for alternating current and 75 to 1,500 V for direct current-excluding certain specified items. It aims to ensure such equipment does not endanger persons, domestic animals, or property when properly installed, maintained, and used. The Directive mandates that electrical equipment may be placed on the market only if it complies with essential safety requirements aligned with good engineering practice. It establishes that compliance with harmonised standards, developed and published under agreed procedures, is presumed to meet these requirements, facilitating free movement within the internal market. In the absence of harmonised standards, international or national safety standards with equivalent levels of safety may be recognized. The Directive requires affixing the CE marking to indicate conformity and establishes procedures for addressing non-compliant products to maintain safety and avoid trade barriers. It repeals Directive 73/23/EEC and ensures consistent application of safety laws related to electrical equipment across the EU, supporting both consumer protection and market integration.

Purpose

Directive 2006/95/EC aims to harmonize the laws of EU Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within specific voltage limits. It ensures that electrical equipment placed on the EU market complies with uniform safety requirements, thereby facilitating the free movement of such equipment within the internal market. This directive replaces the earlier Directive 73/23/EEC to consolidate and clarify provisions on electrical safety.

Key objectives include preventing differences in national safety rules that could impede trade, safeguarding users by requiring electrical equipment to be constructed according to good engineering practice, and establishing a common framework for conformity assessment and marking.

Key obligations

  • Safety Requirements: Member States must ensure that electrical equipment designed for certain voltages is safe for persons, domestic animals, and property when properly used, installed, and maintained (Art. 2).

  • Free Movement: Equipment that meets these safety requirements and follows prescribed conformity procedures must be allowed free movement within the EU (Art. 3).

  • Prohibition of Stricter National Rules: Member States cannot impose electrical supply conditions that are stricter than those in the directive when connecting equipment to the grid (Art. 4).

  • Harmonised Standards: Electrical equipment complying with harmonised safety standards (established by notified standardisation bodies and published officially) shall be presumed to meet the safety requirements (Art. 5).

  • Alternative Standards: Where harmonised standards do not exist, international standards from the IEC or CEE or equivalent national standards with an equivalent safety level may be used (Arts. 6 and 7).

  • CE Marking: Electrical equipment must bear the CE marking before being placed on the market, indicating conformity with the directive and its conformity assessment procedures (Art. 8 and 10).

  • Market Surveillance: Member States must take action if non-compliant products are detected, including informing other Member States and the Commission, and may restrict or withdraw unsafe products from the market (Art. 9).

  • Notification: Member States must notify the Commission and other Member States of their bodies involved in conformity assessment and standardisation (Art. 11).

Affected products and actors

  • Electrical Equipment Scope: The directive applies to electrical equipment designed for a voltage rating between 50 and 1000 V AC and between 75 and 1500 V DC, excluding items listed in Annex II of the directive.

  • Manufacturers and Authorized Representatives: Responsible for ensuring equipment compliance, affixing the CE marking, and providing necessary documentation.

  • Notified Bodies: Organisations designated by Member States to prepare harmonised standards, evaluate conformity, issue reports, and provide opinions as required.

  • Market Surveillance Authorities: National bodies responsible for monitoring the market, enforcing compliance, and taking corrective actions when necessary.

  • Importers and Distributors: Must ensure that products they place on the market comply with directive requirements.

Implementation timeline

  • Entry into Force: The directive entered into force on the 20th day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union (12 December 2006).

  • Transposition: Member States were required to transpose the directive into their national laws within the time limits laid down in Annex V, Part B (replacing Directive 73/23/EEC).

  • Harmonised Standards: Member States and the Commission were to coordinate the establishment, publication, and updating of harmonised standards to reflect technological progress.

  • Marking and Market Access: From the date of transposition, electrical equipment must have CE marking and comply with the directive to be placed on the EU market.

This directive serves as a foundational legal instrument for electrical safety within the EU internal market, facilitating trade and protecting users from risks associated with electrical equipment.

This Directive applies to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits, specifically between 50 and 1,000 V for alternating current and between 75 and 1,500 V for direct current. It excludes certain equipment and phenomena listed in its Annex II. The scope covers electrical equipment intended to be placed on the market within the European Community, ensuring it is constructed according to good engineering safety practices so it does not endanger persons, domestic animals, or property when properly installed and used as intended. The Directive harmonises safety requirements to facilitate free movement of compliant electrical equipment within the EU market. It is intended for equipment used in various sectors where electrical devices operate within the specified voltage ranges and includes provisions regarding conformity assessment, marking, and the recognition of standards to ensure consistent safety levels across Member States.

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety -- Part 2-80: Particular requirements for fans (IEC 60335-2-80:2015)
EN IEC 60335-2-80:2024

IEC 60335-2-80:2015 is available as IEC 60335-2-80:2015 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 60335-2-80:2015(E) deals with the safety of electric fans for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. Examples of fans that are     within the  scope of this standard are ceiling fans;  duct fans;  partition fans;   pedestal fans  and table fans. This standard also  applies to  separate  controls supplied with fans.  Appliances not intended for  normal household use   but which  nevertheless may be a  source of danger to the  public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry      and on farms, are within  the  scope of this standard. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not   take into account  persons (including children)  whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities;   or lack  of experience and knowledge prevents  them from using the appliance safely without supervision or  instruction.     It also does not take  into account  children playing with the appliance.
It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2002, its Amendment 1 (2007) and its Amendment 2 (2011). It constitutes a technical revision. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the second edition of IEC 60335-2-80 are as follows (minor changes are not listed):
- added definition for ceiling fan suspension system (3.102);
- added instructions for ceiling fan maintenance (7.12);
- added instructions for ceiling fan installation (7.12.1);
- added entrapment assessment criteria for table and pedestal fan with a fan head that oscillates in the up-down direction (20.102);
- added requirements for insulation of pre-installed internal wiring used to supply attached luminaires (22.101);
- added suspension system failure protection requirements for ceiling fans (22.102);
- added motor brush wear requirements (27.3).
The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this standard be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of its publication.

Safety in installations for electroheating and electromagnetic processing - Part 6: Particular requirements for high frequency dielectric and microwave heating and processing equipment (IEC 60519-6:2022)
EN IEC 60519-6:2024

This part of IEC 60519 is applicable to equipment using high frequency or microwave energy alone or in combination with other kinds of energy for industrial heating and processing of materials. It is also applicable to HF and MW generators made available to users as separate units.
This part is applicable to equipment operating in the frequency range 3 MHz to 300 GHz, with the following limitations.
- This document applies to only high frequency dielectric heating and processing as defined in 3.1.103. It does not apply to induction heating, which it is possible to carry out in the lower part of the specified frequency band and is covered by IEC 60519-3, with magnetic field safety aspects addressed in IEC TS 62997:2017, the latter to be replaced by a technical report (TR) or by a revised technical specification (TS).
- The ISM centre frequencies for dielectric heating and processing of industrial interest are narrow bands about 6,78 MHz, 13,56 MHz, 27,12 MHz and 40,68 MHz. Different field emission measurement procedures and limiting values are applicable, depending on the processing frequency in the high frequency range 3 to 300 MHz. Specifications are in Annex BB.
- This document specifies limits for microwave emission only for the ISM frequencies between 800 MHz and 6 MHz, as specified in Annex CC. For other microwave frequencies the basic restriction and IEC 62311 apply.
- The foundations for compliance with emission values are the basic restrictions, referred to in the IEEE/ANSI C95.1:2019 and Directive 2013/35/EU. However, maximum HF processing frequency electric and magnetic field values are taken from the IEEE/ANSI C95.1:2019 standard, as indicated in Annex BB.
- This document is not applicable to:
-- appliances for household and similar use (covered by e.g. IEC 60335-2-25);
-- commercial use (covered by IEC 60335-2-90 and IEC 60335-2-110);
-- laboratory use (covered by IEC 61010-2-010);
-- medical high frequency equipment and accessories (covered by IEC 60601-2-2).
NOTE 101 Since high frequency and microwave tunnel ovens and also some other types of microwave and high frequency equipment are sometimes intended either for commercial, laboratory or industrial use, the following criteria are suitable for determination of the classification as industrial equipment:
- commercial equipment is typically designed and planned for series production of many identical units, whereas industrial equipment is typically produced in small series or even as single units. The processed goods are consumed or ready for final use at the end of the heating process.
- laboratory heating equipment is for preparing material in a laboratory environment, and the processed material is immediately available for investigations or further processing. Regular production of large quantities of material is not foreseen.
- with industrial equipment, the processed goods are not immediately accessible to the end user, and the goods are sometimes not in a final state from the perspective of the end user.

EN IEC 60335-2-81:2023

IEC 60335-2-81:2015 deals with the safety of electric foot warmers and heating mats for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V. Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction. It also does not take into account children playing with the appliance. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2002, its Amendment 1 (2007) and its Amendment 2 (2011). It constitutes a technical revision. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the second edition of IEC 60335-2-81 are as follows (minor changes are not listed):
- requirements for washable appliances (5.3, 7.1, 7.6, 7.12);
- requirements for controls in flexible cords (15.1.1, 24.2) and requirements for appliance inlets (22.105, 24.1.5, 29.1.3). The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests.

Automatic electrical controls - Part 2-22: Particular requirements for thermal motor protectors
SIST EN IEC 60730-2-22:2020

IEC 60730-2-22:2014 applies to the partial evaluation of thermal motor protectors as defined in IEC 60730-1 for household and similar use, including heating, air conditioning and similar applications as well as for sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type) motor-compressors. A thermal motor protector is considered an integrated control since its protective functionality is dependent on the correct mounting and fixing in or on a motor and which can only be fully tested in combination with the relevant motor. This dependency is illustrated by: - the ability of the thermal motor protector to accurately and reliably sense the heat of the motor windings; - thus, addressing the over-temperature protection due to motor overload conditions; - the ability of the thermal motor protector to accurately and reliably sense the current due to motor locked-rotor conditions; - thus, reducing the response time and not being adversely affected by heat-sink at the assembly spot in the application and the influence of the motor's electromagnetic field on the switch behaviour of the thermal motor protector; - particularly, affecting the arc direction between the contacts resulting in uneven wear of the contact material and eventually leading to failure of operation. Requirements concerning the testing of the combination of sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type) motor-compressors and thermal motor protectors are given in IEC 60335-2-34. This standard applies to thermal motor protectors using NTC or PTC thermistors, additional requirements for which are contained in Annex J. Key words: Thermal, Motor protectors, Integrated control

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-81: Particular requirements for foot warmers and heating mats
SIST EN IEC 60335-2-81:2023

IEC 60335-2-81:2015 deals with the safety of electric foot warmers and heating mats for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V. Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction. It also does not take into account children playing with the appliance. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2002, its Amendment 1 (2007) and its Amendment 2 (2011). It constitutes a technical revision. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the second edition of IEC 60335-2-81 are as follows (minor changes are not listed): - requirements for washable appliances (5.3, 7.1, 7.6, 7.12); - requirements for controls in flexible cords (15.1.1, 24.2) and requirements for appliance inlets (22.105, 24.1.5, 29.1.3). The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this standard be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of its publication.

Safety in installations for electroheating and electromagnetic processing - Part 6: Particular requirements for high frequency dielectric and microwave heating and processing equipment
SIST EN IEC 60519-6:2024

This part of IEC 60519 is applicable to equipment using high frequency or microwave energy alone or in combination with other kinds of energy for industrial heating and processing of materials. It is also applicable to HF and MW generators made available to users as separate units. This part is applicable to equipment operating in the frequency range 3 MHz to 300 GHz, with the following limitations. - This document applies to only high frequency dielectric heating and processing as defined in 3.1.103. It does not apply to induction heating, which it is possible to carry out in the lower part of the specified frequency band and is covered by IEC 60519-3, with magnetic field safety aspects addressed in IEC TS 62997:2017, the latter to be replaced by a technical report (TR) or by a revised technical specification (TS). - The ISM centre frequencies for dielectric heating and processing of industrial interest are narrow bands about 6,78 MHz, 13,56 MHz, 27,12 MHz and 40,68 MHz. Different field emission measurement procedures and limiting values are applicable, depending on the processing frequency in the high frequency range 3 to 300 MHz. Specifications are in Annex BB. - This document specifies limits for microwave emission only for the ISM frequencies between 800 MHz and 6 MHz, as specified in Annex CC. For other microwave frequencies the basic restriction and IEC 62311 apply. - The foundations for compliance with emission values are the basic restrictions, referred to in the IEEE/ANSI C95.1:2019 and Directive 2013/35/EU. However, maximum HF processing frequency electric and magnetic field values are taken from the IEEE/ANSI C95.1:2019 standard, as indicated in Annex BB. - This document is not applicable to: -- appliances for household and similar use (covered by e.g. IEC 60335-2-25); -- commercial use (covered by IEC 60335-2-90 and IEC 60335-2-110); -- laboratory use (covered by IEC 61010-2-010); -- medical high frequency equipment and accessories (covered by IEC 60601-2-2). NOTE 101 Since high frequency and microwave tunnel ovens and also some other types of microwave and high frequency equipment are sometimes intended either for commercial, laboratory or industrial use, the following criteria are suitable for determination of the classification as industrial equipment: - commercial equipment is typically designed and planned for series production of many identical units, whereas industrial equipment is typically produced in small series or even as single units. The processed goods are consumed or ready for final use at the end of the heating process. - laboratory heating equipment is for preparing material in a laboratory environment, and the processed material is immediately available for investigations or further processing. Regular production of large quantities of material is not foreseen. - with industrial equipment, the processed goods are not immediately accessible to the end user, and the goods are sometimes not in a final state from the perspective of the end user.

Frequently Asked Questions

An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.

Directive 2006/95/EC covers "Directive 2006/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (codified version)". There are 5457 standards associated with this directive.

Harmonized standards under 2006/95/EC are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 2006/95/EC, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
