5.2.1 European Directives and Standards for the Machine Builder
Drives are components that are intended to be incorporated into electrical plant and
machines for industrial use. When the drives are built into machines or plant, the drive must
not be used until it has been established that the machine or equipment fulfills the require-
ments of the
EC Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC)
EC EMC Directive (2014/30/EC)
EC Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EC)
Standards to be applied for conformance with the EC Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC)
IEC 60204-1 (Safety and Electrical Equipment in Machines)
ISO 12100 (Safety of Machines)
The manufacturer of the machine must generate a risk assessment for the machine, and
must implement appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen movements cannot cause
injury or damage to any person or property.
Standards to be applied for conformance with the EC Low Voltage Directive(2014/35/EC)
IEC 60204-1 (Safety and Electrical Equipment in Machines)
IEC 60439-1 (Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies)
Standards to be applied for conformance with the EC EMC Directive (2014/30/EC)
IEC 61000-6-1/2 (Interference Immunity in Residential & Industrial Areas)
IEC 61000-6-3/4 (Interference Generation in Residential & Industrial Areas)
The manufacturer of the machine/plant is responsible for ensuring that it meets the limits
required by the EMC regulations. Advice on the correct installation for EMC (such as shield-
ing, grounding, treatment of connectors and cable layout) is shown in this manual.
The machine/plant manufacturer must check whether other standards or EC Directives
must be applied to the machine/plant.
Kollmorgen only guarantees the conformance of the servosystem with the standards cited in
this chapter if the components (motor, cables, chokes etc.) are those supplied by Koll-
morgen.
5.2.2 Conformance with RoHS
Directive 2011/65/EC of the European Union on the restriction of the use of certain haz-
ardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) became operative as from
the 3rd of January, 2013. Following substances namely are involved
Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Hexavalent chromium (CrVI), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB),
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), Mercury (Hg)
The AKD is manufactured in conformance with RoHS.
5.2.3 Conformance with REACH
EU Regulation no. 1907/2006 deals with the registration, evaluation, authorization and restric-
tion of chemical substances 1 (abbreviated to "REACH").
AKD does not contain any substances (CMR substances, PBTsubstances, vPvB sub-
stances and similar hazardous substances stipulated in individual cases based on scientific
criteria) above 0.1 mass percent per product that are included on the candidate list.
