ONFORMITY
In this section we provide general information about EC directives, the CE symbol and the
Declaration of Conformity.
E.1
What is an EC directive?
EC directives specify requirements. The directives are written by the relevant bodies with-
in the EU (which used to be called the EC, and the EEC before that, hence the now illog-
ical term EC directive), and are implemented by all the member countries of the EU in
national law. In this way the EC directives guarantee free trade within the EU.
An EC directive only contains essential minimum requirements. You will find detailed re-
quirements in standards, to which references are made in the directive.
E.2
What the CE symbol indicates
a) The CE marking symbolizes conformity to all the obligations incumbent on manufac-
turers for the product by virtue of the Community directives providing for its affixing.
…
b) The CE marking affixed to industrial products symbolizes the fact that the natural or
legal person having affixed or been responsible for the affixing of the said marking has
verified that the product conforms to all the Community total harmonization provisions
which apply to it and has been the subject of the appropriate conformity evaluation pro-
cedures.
…
Council Decision 93/465/EEC, Annex I B. a) + c)
We affix the CE mark to the equipment and to the operating instructions as soon as we
have established that we have satisfied the requirements of the relevant directives.
Control systems supplied by the Baumüller Nürnberg GmbH are not concerned of the
Low Voltage Directive, because their operating voltage is less than 60 V DC or less than
75 V AC. Therefore a declaration of conformity to 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage Directive)
cannot be issued.
