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.
Table ZZ.1 — Correspondence between this European standard and Annex I of Directive
2014/35/EU [2014 OJ L96]

b) the electrical equipment, together with its All clauses
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 be so See item 2 and 3 of this
designed and manufactured as to ensure that table
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 animals are Clauses 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
adequately protected against the danger of and 14

cause a danger, are not produced; 17
c) persons, domestic animals and property are Clauses 4, 11, 13, 16 and 18
adequately protected against non-electrical
dangers caused by the electrical equipment
which are revealed by experience;
d) the insulation is suitable for foreseeable Clauses 8, 10, 11, 13, 15
conditions. and 17
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 mechanical Clauses 7, 11, 13 and 18
requirements in such a way that persons,
domestic animals and property are not
endangered;
b) is resistant to non-mechanical influences in Clauses 11, 12, 15 and 17
expected environmental conditions, in such a
way that persons, domestic animals and
property are not endangered;
c) does not endanger persons, domestic Clauses 11, 12 and 17
animals and property in foreseeable
conditions of overload.
WARNING 1: Presumption of conformity stays valid only as long as a reference to this European
