The directive, the RTTE directive 1999/5 EC (

Telecommunications Terminal law).
The directive was published on 7.4.1999 in the EU Official Gazette
L91/1999 and was thus brought into law. The FTEG was
announced in the German Federal Law Gazette Part I, No. 6 on 7
February 2001, and came into force on 8 February 2001.
1.4 Low voltage directive
In accordance with the directive 73/23/EEC, appropriate
regulations have been binding since the seventies. In Germany,
this directive was brought into legal effect with the Device safety
law, the first prescription to the law on technical materials. Since 1
st
January 1997, manufacturers have not been allowed to see
products without a CE mark.
The CE mark can be displayed if the product meets the safety
targets specified in the low voltage directive. In general, this means
meeting the technical requirements specified in a harmonised
standard. This directive is applicable for all electrical equipment
within particular voltage limits.
