Thanks Gert,
I agree with you that the LVD directive is indeed applicable: I looked up the original tekst which states the below: (the confusion was that another source was stating that both input and output voltages needed to fit within these limits, which does not seem to be the case. ) The standards you refer were indeed also the onces we were considering at first. Article 1 Subject matter and scope The purpose of this Directive is to ensure that electrical equipment on the market fulfils the requirements providing for a high level of protection of health and safety of persons, and of domestic animals and property, while guaranteeing the functioning of the internal market. This Directive shall apply to electrical equipment designed for use with a voltage rating of between 50 and 1 000 V for alternating current and between 75 and 1 500 V for direct current, other than the equipment and phenomena listed in Annex II. Thanks for your help !

EN 61326-1 comes to mind for EMC EN 61010-1 for electrical safety The output is just a "circuit" (in terms of 61010) and clearance and creepage requirement (up to 60 kV) are given in Table 6 and 7 There are more requirements than just clearance and creepage. Good luck in making your equipment safe.

The supply has an output voltage upto 25kV (upto 50kHz) output. It concerns a supply to be used for plasma reactor applications. As the output voltage is not inside the voltage limits for the Low Voltage Directive, the LVD directive is not applicable? The Machine Directive also excludes these high voltage products. So, wondering which Directive to apply related tot he safety testing part. (The General Safety Product Directive?) Any suggestions as to which safety standard to apply for such products? Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
