What it is
LVS (Latvijas standarts) is Latvia’s national standards body and the Latvian member of the European organisation CEN and the international body ISO. It publishes Latvian standards (LVS) and the Latvian adoptions of European (EN) and international standards.
Why it matters for compliance
Conformity in practice means applying the right standard, and LVS is where you access the EN standards your product needs for the Latvian market. A standard’s legal weight comes from being harmonised (cited in the Official Journal) for the applicable legislation.
How to use it
- Find and access the relevant EN/LVS standards for your product.
- Confirm a standard is harmonised and current for the applicable legislation.
- Pair it with Latvia’s Consumer Rights Protection Centre (PTAC) for surveillance.
Good to know
Standards function as both compliance tools and commercial requirements — buyers and procurement often specify them.
