Electrical safety testing against the Low Voltage Directive — verifying protection against electric shock, fire, and other electrical hazards on machinery.
LVD testing verifies that the electrical equipment on a machine — operating within the voltage limits of 50–1000V AC or 75–1500V DC — is safe against electric shock, fire, and other electrical hazards, in line with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and its harmonised standards (e.g. IEC 60204-1 for machinery electrical equipment).
Electrical faults are among the fastest-developing, highest-severity hazards on any machine — they can cause shock, arc flash, or fire in milliseconds, with no warning. LVD compliance isn't optional: it's one of the core Directives a machine must satisfy before CE marking, alongside the Machinery Directive and EMC Directive.
LVD Testing applies wherever a machine's electrical equipment needs to be verified against electric shock, fire, and other electrical hazards.
The regulatory basis for this testing is already established elsewhere in Prazamana's compliance work.

Yes, where the Low Voltage Directive applies. Machinery with electrical equipment within the directive's voltage range must meet the Low Voltage Directive, alongside the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU where applicable. Testing is a way of verifying that conformity. Prazamana can help you work out which directives apply to your machine.
Prazamana offers LVD testing to verify electrical safety against the Low Voltage Directive, along with EMI/EMC testing, noise testing and stop time measurement, which can each be booked individually. It also provides CE marking consultancy and CE-compliant control panels. Tell the team about your machine and its destination market, and they will scope the right tests.
LVD testing evaluates the electrical safety of the equipment, including insulation, earthing, dielectric strength and contact protection.
Tell us about the machinery and its destination market and we'll scope the testing.
