LVD 2006/95/EC适用于所有本身功能使用电压范围在交流50~1000V，直流75~1500V的电气产品，这个定义系指指令的适用范围，而不是指令适用的限制 (例如，在使用交流230V的计算机中，直流12V的电路所造成的危险也受LVD的规范)。LVD适用于提供给消费者和工业使用的产品，如果是工业用设备，指令也涵盖了制造商本身使用的产品(例如: 测试设备)。本指令已于2007年1月16日起强制执行。

  除下列设备Equipment and Phenomena outside the Scope of this Directive：
Electrical equipment for use in an explosive atmosphere　爆炸环境下的电气设备
Electrical equipment for radiology and medical purposes　放射及医疗目的的电气设备
Electrical parts for goods and passenger lifts　用于货物及人员升除的电气部件
Electricity meters　电能表
Plugs and socket outlets for domestic use　家用插头，插座
Electric fence controllers　电网控制器
Radio-electrical interference无线电干扰
Specialised electrical equipment, for use on ships, aircraft or railways, which complies with the safety provisions drawn up　使用在有专用要求的船舶，航天或铁路上的电气设备
by international bodies in which the Member States participate.国际性组织成员分享的设备

  协调标准
如果一种产品是根据欧洲的标准来设计并遵守欧洲标准，这样便假定该产品是符合指示中的安全要求。例如，EN60598覆盖照明产品，而EN60335则覆盖家用电气。具体详见

  符合性声明
制造商或其授权的代表必须将CE标志贴在产品上，并起草一份符合性声明，细节如下：
◆ name and address of the manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the Community　制造商或其授权的欧洲代表的名称及地址,
◆ a description of the electrical equipment电气设备的说明,
◆ reference to the harmonised standards参考的协调标准,
