equipment described in this manual must ensure
that each intended application is suitable and
acceptable, and that all applicable safety or other
operational requirements are complied with. In
particular, all risks in applications where a system
failure and/or product failure would create a risk of
harm to property or persons (including but not
limited to personal injuries or death) shall be the
sole responsibility of the person or entity who/that
applies the equipment, and such parties are hereby

Conformity

The products listed in the document comply with
the directive of the Council of the European
Communities implemented by the laws of the
Member States relating to electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC Directive 2004/108/EC) and
concerning electrical equipment for use within
specified voltage limits (Low-voltage directive
2006/95/EC). Such conformity is the result of tests
conducted by ABB in accordance with product
standards EN50263 and EN60255-26 for the MEC
directive and with product standards EN 60255-1
and EN 60255-27 for the low voltage directive.
