CE Mark
SMC Product Conforming to Inter
SMC products complying with EN/ISO, CSA/UL standards are supporting
The CE mark indicates that machines and components meet essential requirements of all the EC Directives
applied.
It has been obligatory to apply CE marks indicating conformity with EC Directives when machines and
components are exported to the member Nations of the EU.
Once “A manufacturer himself” declares a product to be safe by means of CE marking (declaration of
conformity by manufacturer), free distribution inside the member Nations of the EU is permissible.
CE Mark
SMC provides CE marking to products to which EMC and Low Voltage Directives have been applied, in
accordance with CETOP (European hydraulics and pneumatics committee) guide lines.
As of February 1998, the following 18 countries will be obliged to conform to CE mark legislation
Iceland, Ireland, United Kingdom, Italy, Austria, Netherlands, Greece, Liechtenstein, Sweden, Spain, Denmark,
Germany, Norway, Finland, France, Belgium, Portugal, Luxembourg
EC Directives and Pneumatic Components
• Machinery Directive
The Machinery Directive contains essential health and safety requirements for machinery, as applied to
industrial machines e.g. machine tools, injection molding machines and automatic machines. Pneumatic
equipment is not specified in Machinery Directive. However, the use of SMC products that are certified as
conforming to EN Standards, allows customers to simplify preparation work of the Technical Construction File
required for a Declaration of Conformity.
•
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive
The EMC Directive specifies electromagnetic compatibility. Equipment which may generate electromagnetic
interference or whose function may be compromised by electromagnetic interference is required to be immune
to electromagnetic affects (EMS/immunity) without emitting excessive electromagnetic affects (EMI/emission).
• Low Voltage Directive
This directive is applied to products, which operate above 50 VAC to 1000 VAC and 75 VDC to 1500 VDC
operating voltage, and require electrical safety measures to be introduced.
• Simple Pressure Vessels Directive
This directive is applied to welded vessels whose maximum operating pressure (PS) and volume of vessel (V)
exceed 50 bar/L. Such vessels require EC type examination and then CE marking.
