2014/30/EU - Directive 2014/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (recast) Harmonized Directive
Directive 2014/30/EU harmonizes laws across EU Member States related to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electrical and electronic equipment. It recasts and updates Directive 2004/108/EC to clarify requirements, ensure protection against electromagnetic disturbances, and facilitate the free movement of apparatus within the internal market. The Directive applies to new and imported apparatus placed on the EU market, including fixed installations but excluding radio and telecommunications equipment covered under separate legislation. It imposes responsibilities on manufacturers, importers, and distributors to ensure compliance with essential EMC requirements, supported by conformity assessments, CE marking, and technical documentation. Notified conformity assessment bodies must meet strict standards to ensure uniform evaluation quality across the EU. The Directive also provides mechanisms for market surveillance, safeguard procedures, and cooperation between national authorities and economic operators to prevent non-compliant products from entering or circulating in the market. Overall, it establishes a coherent legal framework to protect networks and equipment from electromagnetic interference while promoting fair competition and market access.
Purpose
Directive 2014/30/EU, also known as the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive (recast), aims to harmonise the laws of EU Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility. Its primary objective is to ensure that electrical and electronic apparatus or fixed installations do not generate electromagnetic disturbance that could adversely affect other equipment, and that they have an adequate level of immunity to such disturbances. This harmonisation facilitates the free movement of goods within the EU market while maintaining justified protection against electromagnetic interference.
The Directive replaces and updates Directive 2004/108/EC and aligns with other relevant legislation such as Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 on accreditation and market surveillance and Decision No 768/2008/EC establishing a common framework for marketing products.
Key Obligations
- Harmonised Essential Requirements: Electrical and electronic apparatus and fixed installations must meet essential EMC requirements for both emissions and immunity to avoid electromagnetic disturbance.
- Conformity Assessment: Manufacturers are responsible for carrying out conformity assessments to demonstrate compliance with the Directive. This includes assessing all foreseeable configurations of apparatus.
- CE Marking: Finished apparatus that complies with the Directive must bear the CE marking as an indication of conformity. Fixed installations are exempted from CE marking and declaration requirements.
- Economic Operator Responsibilities: All economic operators in the supply chain-manufacturers, importers, distributors-must ensure compliance according to their role:
- Manufacturers must conduct conformity assessments, compile technical documentation, and issue EU declarations of conformity.
- Importers must verify that manufacturers have performed conformity assessments, that apparatus bear CE marking, and that technical documentation is available. Importers must also indicate their contact details on the apparatus.
- Distributors must act with due care to avoid affecting compliance and support market surveillance.
- Operators placing products under their name or making modifications affecting compliance assume manufacturer responsibilities.
- Traceability: Economic operators must maintain information to ensure traceability of products throughout the supply chain.
- Notified Bodies: Bodies designated to perform conformity assessment must meet defined competence criteria. They are subject to monitoring, with notification and accreditation procedures regulated to ensure consistent quality across the Union.
- Market Surveillance and Safeguard Procedure: Member States must ensure market surveillance activities to detect and deal with non-compliant products. Enhanced safeguard procedures promote transparency and efficiency in addressing EMC risks.

This document covers internal arc-fault control devices, hereinafter referred to as IACD, which
are intended to:
- detect internal arc-faults in low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies, by
processing (at a minimum) the optical effect of an internal arc-fault, and
- operate mitigation device (either external or combined)
in order to minimize the effects of the internal arc-fault (see Figure 1).
For the purpose of this document the terms "light" or "optical" covers more than visible spectra.
They may cover also, for example, infrared or ultraviolet electromagnetic radiations (see
Annex D).
For combined-type IACD, this document is considered in addition to the relevant product
standard for internal arc-fault mitigation devices (IARD per IEC TS 63107:2020). Compliance
to the relevant product standard is mandatory and cannot be claimed by testing to this document
alone.
NOTE 1 Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies are usually described by IEC 61439 series.
[Figure 1]
Therefore, this document covers the following:
- internal arc-fault control device (stand-alone, multifunction or combined);
- one or more associated sensor(s) used to detect optical effect of the internal arc-fault;
- sensor(s), sensing another physical effect, to confirm the fault;
- associated or combined mitigation device.
An IACD is not intended to trigger under normal operation of low-voltage switchgear and
controlgear (i.e. absence of internal arc-fault), including normal arcing associated with
operation of disconnecting and switching devices.
This document only covers the following methods:
- optical detection of the light caused by an internal arc-fault;
- optional confirmation of internal arc-fault by line current measurement.
Many different conductive materials could be used in LV assemblies (e.g. steel, copper,
aluminium). Nevertheless, tests specified in this document are deemed to represent the most
critical and challenging conditions for arc-detection and cover all combinations of conductive
materials.
NOTE 2 Compared to other materials (e.g. steel, aluminium), copper leads to a lower optical radiation energy.
The rated voltage of the assembly in which an IACD is installed does not exceed 1 000 V AC.
Such devices are designed to be operated and maintained by skilled persons only.
This document does not cover:
- DC internal arc-fault detection and control;
- overcurrent relays;
- AFDD (arc-fault detection devices) as defined by IEC 62606;
- guidance on installation within assemblies;
NOTE 3 The integration of an IACD into an assembly is described in IEC TS 63107.
- use with additional measures needed for installation and operation within explosive
atmospheres. These are given in IEC 60079 series documents;
- requirements for embedded software and firmware design rules; for this subject, the
manufacturer is responsible for taking additional safety measures;
NOTE 4 IEC TR 63201 describes rules for firmware and embedded software development preventing errors in
software.
- cybersecurity aspects; for this subject, the manufacturer is responsible for taking additional
safety measures;
NOTE 5 See IEC TS 63208.
- mobile applications.
NOTE 6 Even when addressing internal arc-fault mitigation devices, this document does not supersede any other
relevant product standard (e.g. IEC 60947-2 or IEC 60947-9-1).
NOTE 7 DC arcing fault phenomena are under consideration. Further investigation is needed to comprehend DC
arcing phenomena and required sensing.

This International Standard applies to Source Switching Equipment, hereafter referred to as SSE(s), for household and similar uses, primarily intended to be used for Energy Efficiency purposes with local production and/or storage of energy.
This standard has been drafted following principles of:
- IEC guides 118 and 119 for Energy Efficiency;
- IEC guide 110 for safety.
SSEs are intended to be installed in low voltage prosumer electrical installations (PEI) to deliver the electrical energy:
- either to current-using equipment (direct feeding mode or island mode);
- or to the grid (reverse feeding mode).
SSEs are intended to select and/or combine two power sources (e.g. selected among grid, local power source, storage units) within an Electrical Energy Management system (EEMS). SSEs may also be used for backup supply.
NOTE SSEs capable to select more than two sources are under consideration.
SSEs are part of the fixed electrical installation.
This standard applies to SSEs for operation in:
- AC single or multiphase circuits with rated voltages not exceeding 440 V AC, frequencies of 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 50/60 Hz and rated currents not exceeding 125 A. They are intended to be used in installations with prospective short circuit current not exceeding 25 000 A, or
- DC circuits. SSE for DC circuits are under consideration (next edition).
SSEs may be operated:
- manually (M-SSE), or
- remotely (R-SSE), or
- automatically (A-SSE), or
- a combination of the above methods of operation, e.g. manual and remote.
SSEs are constructed either as Combined-SSEs (C-SSEs, based on dedicated products suc as circuit breakers, switches or contactors) or Non-Combined SSEs (NC-SSEs).
SSEs are intended for use in circuits where protection against electrical shock and over-current according to IEC 60364 is provided, unless the SSE already contains such protective function.
SSEs are normally installed by instructed persons (IEC 60050-195:1998, 195-04-02) or skilled persons (IEC 60050-195:1998, 195-04-01). SSEs are normally used by ordinary persons (IEC 60005-195:1998, 195-04-03) and do not require maintenance.
The requirements of this standard apply for standard environmental 420 conditions as given in clause 7. They are applicable to SSEs intended for use in an environment with pollution degree 2 and overvoltage categories III according to IEC 60664-1:2020. SSEs have at least a degree of protection IP 20 according to IEC 60529. Additional requirements may be necessary for devices used in locations having more severe environmental conditions.
SSEs do not, by their nature, provide an isolation function nor the overcurrent protection. However, isolation and overcurrent protection functions as covered by relevant product standards may be provided by Combined SSEs.
In some countries, it is not permitted to have synchronization of local sources with the grid for particular grid conditions, e.g. when fluctuations of the grid voltage or frequency are outside the tolerance limits.
This document does not apply to transfer switching equipment (TSE) intended to be used by skilled persons, as covered by IEC 60947-6-1:2021.

1.1 General This part of the IEC 60255 series specifies the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility for measuring relays and protection equipment. It is applicable to measuring relays and protection equipment and combinations of devices to form schemes for power system protection including the control, monitoring, communication and process interface equipment used with those systems. Tests specified in this document are not required for equipment not incorporating electronic circuits, for example electromechanical relays. The requirements specified in this document are applicable to measuring relays and protection equipment in a condition representative of how new equipment is provided by the manufacturer. All tests specified are type tests only. 1.2 Emission This document specifies limits and test methods, for measuring relays and protection equipment in relation to electromagnetic emissions which might cause interference in other equipment. These emission limits represent electromagnetic compatibility requirements and have been selected to ensure that the disturbances generated by measuring relays and protection equipment, operated normally in substations and power plants, do not exceed a specified level which could prevent other equipment from operating as intended. Test requirements are specified for the enclosure, auxiliary power supply ports, input/output ports, signal/control ports and wired network ports. 1.3 Immunity This document specifies the immunity test requirements for measuring relays and protection equipment in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances, including electrostatic discharges. These test requirements represent the electromagnetic compatibility immunity requirements and have been selected so as to ensure an adequate level of immunity for measuring relays and protection equipment, operated normally in substations and power plants. NOTE 1 Product safety considerations are not covered in this document. NOTE 2 In special cases, situations will arise where the levels of disturbance could exceed the levels specified in this document, for example where a hand-held transmitter or a mobile telephone is used close to measuring relays and protection equipment. In these instances, special precautions and procedures could have to be employed.

Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.
Directive 2014/30/EU covers "Directive 2014/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (recast)". This legislation has harmonized European standards (hENs) that provide a presumption of conformity with its essential requirements. There are 1516 standards associated with this directive.
Harmonized standards under 2014/30/EU are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 2014/30/EU, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
