5 EU- directives / Declaration of conformity
5.1 What is the purpose of EU-directives?
The EU-directives are composed by the European Council and are used as defini-
tions of common technical requirements and certification procedures inside the
European Community. At the moment there are 30 EU-directives for different sec-
tions. The standards are or will be converted by the respective member states in
national laws. An in a member state issued certificate is automatically valid without
more testing in all other member states.
The directive- texts restrict on the formulation of the essentially requirement.
The technical details are or will be defined in European harmonized standards.
5.2 What is the meaning of the CE- marking?
After an already made Conformity valuation method the accordance with the re-
quirements of the EU- directives will be confirmed by the mounting of a CE-
marking. Within the EU there are no trade barriers for a CE-marked product.
Filter modules with CE-marking comply independently, exclusively the low voltage-
standard
.
The filter modules are considered as inherently benign and therefore
out of the scope of the EMC-standard (EMC directive 2014/30/EU).
5.3 EG-directive low voltage
Low voltage-directive (2014/35/EU)
General:
•
The low voltage-directive is valid for all electrical devices to use at a nominal volt-
age between 50V and 1000V alternating voltage and between 75V and 1500V di-
rect voltage and at usual environmental condition. Expected is for example the us-
age of electrical devices in explosive atmosphere and electrical parts of person-
and freight elevator.
•
Protection target of the low voltage-directive is to put only such electrical devices
on the market, which do not endanger the safety of humans or animals and the
conservation of material assets.
