What the LVD Certification covers, who needs it, and how SZC-LAB tests and certifies your product for European Union.
Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU - safety of electrical equipment within 50-1000 V AC / 75-1500 V DC, typically tested to EN 62368-1, EN 60335-1 or EN 61558.
Market context: CE is a marking, not a certificate issued by a laboratory - most CE routes are self-declaration supported by test reports and a technical file. We prepare both.
For the product categories it covers, yes - the LVD Certification is required before products can legally be placed on the European Union market. Shipping without it can mean customs holds, marketplace delisting and retailer rejections.
The LVD Certification is only as strong as the test report behind it. We run the underlying work - Product Safety Testing and the related programme for your product - in our own CNAS & ILAC accredited laboratory in Shenzhen, then prepare the documentation the LVD Certification application is built on.

Lead time depends on the product, the standard behind the LVD Certification and whether factory inspection is part of the route. You get a concrete timeline together with your quotation - we reply within 2 working hours.
Typically: product specification, user manual, schematic or block diagram, critical component list and 1-2 working samples. We confirm the exact list for your product along with the quotation.
It depends on the scheme - some marks are valid continuously with periodic surveillance, others need renewal or an annual factory inspection. We track the applicable maintenance cycle for you as part of the project.
