Legal Requirements for CE Marking
IMPORTANT:
Before installation, clearly understand who is responsible for conformance with the
EMC directive. Misappropriation of the CE mark is a criminal offence.
It is important that you have now defined who is responsible for conforming to the EMC
directive, either:
Parker Hannifin Manufacturing Limited Responsibility
You intend to use the unit as
relevant apparatus.
When the specified EMC filter is correctly fitted to the unit following EMC installation
instructions, it complies with the relevant standards indicated in the following tables. The
fitting of the filter is mandatory for the CE marking of this unit to apply.
The relevant declarations are to be found at the end of this chapter. The CE mark is displayed
on the EC Declaration of Conformity (EMC Directive) provided at the end of this chapter.
Customer Responsibility
You intend to use the unit as a
component,
therefore you have a choice:
1.
To fit the specified filter following EMC installation instructions, which may help you
gain EMC compliance for the final machine/system.
2.
Not to fit the specified filter, but use a combination of global or local filtering and
screening methods, natural migration through distance, or the use of distributed parasitic
elements of the existing installation.
NOTE:
WHEN TWO OR MORE EMC COMPLIANT COMPONENTS ARE COMBINED TO
FORM THE FINAL MACHINE/SYSTEM, THE RESULTING MACHINE/SYSTEM MAY
NO LONGER BE COMPLIANT, (EMISSIONS TEND TO BE ADDITIVE, IMMUNITY IS
DETERMINED BY THE LEAST IMMUNE COMPONENT). UNDERSTAND THE EMC
ENVIRONMENT AND APPLICABLE STANDARDS TO KEEP ADDITIONAL
COMPLIANCE COSTS TO A MINIMUM.
Applying for CE Marking for EMC
We have supplied a Manufacturer’s EMC Declaration at the end of this chapter that you can
use as a basis for your own justification of overall compliance with the EMC directive. There
are three methods of demonstrating conformity:
1.
Self-certification to a relevant standard
2.
Third party testing to a relevant standard
3.
Writing a technical construction file stating the technical rationale as to why your final
machine/system is compliant. An EMC “competent body” must then assess this and issue
a technical report or certificate to demonstrate compliance.
Refer to EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.
With EMC compliance, an EC Declaration of Conformity and the CE mark will be issued for
your final machine/system.
IMPORTANT:
Professional end users with EMC expertise who are using drive modules and cubicle
systems defined as components who supply, place on the market or install the
relevant apparatus must take responsibility for demonstrating EMC conformance and
applying the CE mark and issuing an EC Declaration of Conformity.
