Translated from the Original Operating and Installation Instructions

 

The pumps are in accordance with the requirements of the 
guidelines 2011/65/EU (ROHS2) 

The pumps conform to EU safety requirements and guidelines for 
Electromagnetic interference 2004/108/EC. 

As defined in the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, pumps are 
partly completed machines and not ready-for-use, the overall 
equipment must be made to fully conform with the requirements of 
the Directive before being brought into service. Always ensure 
implementation and enforcement of the basic requirements of the 
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC according to Appendix I (General 
Principles). 

The following harmonised standards are met: 

NF 30 DC 

 

EN 55014-1 

NF 30 DCB-B / DCB-4B

 

 

IEC/EN 61000-6-2
