CE-Marking
The manufacturer has to sign his products with the CE-Marking. With
the CE-Marking the manufacturer confirms the accordance with the
different EEC Directives. The CE-Marking is absolutely necessary to
sell the products in the EEC.
Attached you find the EEC Directives concerning our products.
Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC)
EMC Directive (89/336/EEC)
Declarations of Conformity art. no. D586.. on request.
Test Authorities, Registration Mark, Approvals
OMRON Low voltage switchgear is built and tested to national and
international specifications. All devices suit all important specifica-
tions without any test obligation, like VDE, BS and also relative to
IEC Recommendations and to European Standards like IEC 947 and
EN 60947.
It is for this reason OMRON Low voltage switchgear is used all over
the world. In order to provide special versions, limitations to the max.
voltages, currents and power ratings or special markings are some-
times necessary.
OMRON Low voltage switchgear is also suitable for applications in
marine environments.
They are classified in "Lloyd`s Register of Shipping" and in the "Mari-
time Register of Shipping" (GUS). The "American Bureau of Ship-
ping" does not claim a general approval for single components, the
complete electrical equipment on board has to be approved. The
devices should have UL- and CSA-approvals. Further information for
Guide-No. and File-No. (CSA, UL) you will find on page 95.
For approved values see technical data of the devices.

Marking of auxiliary contacts
At several devices in UL-data are two voltages for auxiliary contacts
mentioned (e. g.: 600 volts at same potential, 150 volts at different
potentials). That means, if the voltage is higher than 150 volts, the con-
trol voltage applied to input terminals must be at the same potential
Low voltage switchgear for auxiliary circuits (e. g. contactor relays,
control units, auxiliary contacts in general) usually approved for
"Heavy Duty" or "Standard Duty" UL and besides these marked with
the admissible max. voltage or with short codes (see table).
