7.3
EMC law
The EMC rule of 09.11.92 stipulates the translation of the EMC guideline
into national law.
The Federal Minister for Post and Telecommunications is (in Germany)
responsible for this process. The Federal Office for Post and Telecommu
nications (BAPT) is (in Germany) the executory authority. The BAPT has
set up a network of local branches which cover the soveriegn territory of
the Federal Republic of Germany.
Information is available from any branch of the BAPT, should you have any
questions relating to EMC.
7.3.1 Area of application
(extracts)
The EMC rule applies to devices which can emit electromagnetic interfer
ence or which may be affected operationally by such interference. It over
sees the conditions for circulating, installing and operating such devices.
Devices which are intended solely for employment in special laboratories,
workshops and rooms, installations which are assembled at the place of
operation and not beforehand and networks do not require an EC Certifi
cate of Conformity and the appertaining marking. The operator must,
however, observe the relevant protection requirements.
Devices which cannot be operated automatically and which are manufac
tured and serviced solely as vendor parts or spare parts for subsequent
use in industry, workshops or other firms familiar with electromagnetic
compatibility are not required to comply with the protection requirements,
nor do they require an EC Certificate of Conformity and the appertaining
marking.
Spare parts are designed so as to cause no electromagnetic interference
(when installed properly). This does not apply to assembly line construc
tion kits or combinations of components for assembly by the operator, nor
to generally available modules and device parts.
7.3.2 Protection requirements
(extracts)
Construction of the devices must ensure that creation of electromagnetic
interference is kept low enough to allow proper operation of radio and tele
communications devices as well as other devices.
The devices should have adequate resistance to electromagnetic interfer
ence, so as to allow proper operation.
The specifications required for proper operation of the device must be in
cluded in the enclosed operating manual.
