FQC Standard

LVD Electrical Safety Testing

Product classification comes first

Household appliances, power supplies, panels and industrial equipment need different test plans. Review supply range, environment, users and other legislation. Falling outside LVD voltage limits does not remove safety obligations. An LVD report does not automatically establish EMC or radio equipment compliance.

Main test topics

  • Protection against electric shock, accessible parts, insulation and protective earthing connections.
  • As applicable: dielectric strength, leakage/touch current, temperature rise and abnormal operation.
  • Mechanical strength, markings, instructions and critical components. Test voltages and limits come from the product standard.

Sample and technical file preparation

Provide model details, ratings, circuit diagram, component list, instructions and previous reports. Identify model-family differences. Agree sample numbers and test effects beforehand. Maintain traceability between the tested model and production units in the technical file.

Report scope and quotation

Sample, method, standard edition and report scope are agreed before testing. Results apply to the identified sample and conditions. The testing laboratory and any required accreditation scope are confirmed in the quotation; this page does not imply that every test is performed in-house by FQC under accreditation.

Frequently asked questions

What should I prepare for an enquiry?

State the model, material/components, target market and requested tests. Agree sample count, method, standard edition, laboratory and any required accreditation scope before work.

How can I check accreditation or authorisation scope?

Use the TÜRKAK and NANDO links on the corporate scope page to check the body, product and procedure together. A body number does not mean every listed service or test is accredited under the same scope.
