1.8.1.3 Machinery Directive
The aim of the Machinery Directive is to ensure personal
safety and avoid property damage for mechanical
equipment used in its intended application. The Machinery
Directive applies to a machine consisting of an aggregate
of interconnected components or devices of which at least
1 is capable of mechanical movement.
Frequency converters with an integrated safety function
must comply with the Machinery Directive. Frequency
converters without a safety function do not fall under the
Machinery Directive. If a frequency converter is integrated
into a machinery system, Danfoss can provide information
on safety aspects relating to the frequency converter.
When frequency converters are used in machines with at
least 1 moving part, the machine manufacturer must
provide a declaration stating compliance with all relevant
statutes and safety measures.
1.8.1.4 ErP Directive
The ErP Directive is the European Ecodesign Directive for
energy-related products. The directive sets ecodesign
requirements for energy-related products, including
frequency converters. The aim of the directive is to
increase energy efficiency and the level of protection of
the environment, while increasing the security of the
energy supply. Environmental impact of energy-related
products includes energy consumption throughout the
entire product life cycle.
1.8.2 C-tick Compliance
Illustration 1.2 C-tick
The C-tick label indicates compliance with the applicable
technical standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC). C-tick compliance is required for placing electrical
and electronic devices on the market in Australia and New
Zealand.
The C-tick regulatory is about conducted and radiated
emission. For frequency converters, apply the emission
limits specified in EN/IEC 61800-3.
A declaration of conformity can be provided on request.
1.8.3 UL Compliance

NOTICE
525–690 V frequency converters are not certified for UL.
The frequency converter complies with UL 508C thermal
memory retention requirements. For more information,
refer to
chapter 2.6.2 Motor Thermal Protection
1.8.4 Marine Compliance (ADN)
Units with ingress protection rating IP55 (NEMA 12) or
higher prevent spark formation, and are classified as
limited explosion risk electrical apparatus in accordance
with the European Agreement concerning International
Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Inland Waterways (ADN).
For units with ingress protection rating IP20/Chassis, IP21/
NEMA 1, or IP54, prevent risk of spark formation as follows:
•
Do not install a mains switch.
•
Ensure that
parameter 14-50 RFI Filter
is set to
[1]
On
.
•
Remove all relay plugs marked
RELAY
. See
•
Check which relay options are installed, if any.
The only permitted relay option is VLT
®
Extended
Relay Card MCB 113.
