EU · Directive 2014/35/EU
Electrical equipment designed for 50–1,000 V AC or 75–1,500 V DC, subject to Annex II exclusions. Radio equipment follows RED safety provisions without these voltage limits. A low-voltage DC product is not automatically exempt from general product safety.
Learn moreEU · Directive 2014/30/EU
Apparatus and fixed installations liable to cause electromagnetic disturbance or whose performance can be affected by it. Radio equipment normally addresses EMC through RED. Component status, inherently benign equipment and installation-only supply must be assessed.
Learn moreEU · Directive 2014/53/EU
Products intentionally emitting or receiving radio waves for communication or radiodetermination, including connected locks, cameras, routers, toys and wearables. A pre-certified radio module does not alone establish conformity of the finished product and antennas.
Learn moreEU · Directive 2011/65/EU and amendments
EEE within the Directive’s defined voltage and category scope, with explicit exclusions, spare-part conditions and time-limited exemptions. The assessment unit for concentration limits is the homogeneous material, not the average of a whole assembled product.
Learn moreEU · Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Annex XVII
Chemical substances, mixtures and finished articles trigger different duties. For textiles, footwear, toys, furniture, plastics, coatings and industrial materials, identify each actual substance, material, contact condition and use before assigning a restriction.
Learn moreEU · Directive 2006/42/EC; Regulation (EU) 2023/1230
Machinery, interchangeable equipment, safety components and other expressly included products; partly completed machinery has a distinct incorporation route. Powered garden tools, industrial robots and motorised gates require classification rather than treating every moving product as a household appliance.
Learn moreEU · EU product measures: 2019/2019, 2019/2022, 2019/2023 and related acts
Covered energy-related product groups, not all electrical products. Household refrigerators, dishwashers and washing machines have separate scope definitions and measures; professional equipment, combined products, heaters and motors can follow different acts.
Learn moreEU · Directive 2014/68/EU
Pressure equipment and assemblies with maximum allowable pressure PS greater than 0.5 bar, subject to detailed exclusions and product boundaries. Pressure cookers, vessels, piping, safety accessories and assemblies are not assigned the same conformity category.

Manufacturing, placing-on-the-market and testing dates, together with transition provisions, are checked as required by each applicable rule. The directory identifies sources; it does not replace assessment of the specific model. Standards are identified by reference, and their authoritative texts remain with the issuing bodies. Official source documents retain their original language.
