Electrical industry: Community law on equipment subject to voltage limits (repeal. Directive 73/23/EEC). Codification

PURPOSE : to codify the EU Directive on the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits. CONTENT : the basis for this proposal lies in the various measures the EU has adopted to try and codify legislation in the event of ten (or less) amendments being made to initial legislative acts. It recommends the codification of Directive 73/23/EEC on the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits. The new Directive will supersede the various Directives incorporated in it. Their content is fully preserved and they are brought together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself. The proposal follows preliminary consultation in all official languages. In so far as the Articles have been given new numbers, the correlation between the old and the new number is shown in a table contained in an Annex to the codified Directive.�
