MELSERVO J2-Super III
Compliance with EC Directives
EC directives are intended to allow the liberal sales of goods within the EU. With the
establishment of “essential safety regulations” the EC directives ensure that technical barriers
to trade between member states of the EU are excluded. In the member states of the EU the
machine directive (in force since January 1995), the EMC directive (in force since January 1996)
and the low-voltage directive (in force since January 1997) of the EC directives determine the
guarantee of the presence of fundamental safety requirements and the display of the “CE” mark.
Conformity with EC directives is indicated by the submission of a Declaration of Conformity as
well as the display of the “CE” mark on the product, its packaging or its operating instructions.
The above directives relate only to devices and systems and not to single components, unless
the components have a direct function for the end user. As a servo amplifier together with a
servo motor have to be installed with a controller and other mechanical parts in order to serve
a useful purpose for the end user, servo amplifiers do not possess this function. Consequently
they can be described as a complex component for which a conformity declaration or the “CE”
mark is not required. This position is also supported by CEMEP, the European association of
manufacturers of electronic drive technology and electrical machines.
The servo amplifiers do, however, comply with the relevant low-voltage directive, which is a
prerequisite for the “CE” mark on machines or accessories in which the servo amplifier is used.
To ensure conformity with the requirements of the EMC directive, MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC has
produced the manual “EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES” (article number: 103944) in which
the installation of the servo amplifier, the construction of a control cabinet and other installation
tasks are described. Please contact the relevant sales partner who is responsible for you.
