2.1 CE Marking
This section provides a basic description of how the RCX240/RCX221/RCX222 controllers
comply with CE marking.
Differences in the basic specifications between CE marking compliant controllers and
standard controllers are as follows:
●

2.2.1 Cautions regarding compliance with EC Directives
The YAMAHA robot (robot and controller) is not, in itself, a robot system. The YAMAHA
robot is just one component that is incorporated into the customer's system (built-in
equipment), and we declare that YAMAHA robots conform to the EC Directives only within
the scope of built-in equipment. This does not therefore guarantee that YAMAHA robots
conform to EC Directives in cases where the robot is used independently. Customers who
incorporate a YAMAHA robot into their final system which will be shipped to, or used, in
the EU, should therefore verify that the overall system is compliant with EC Directives.
Differences between YAMAHA robots (robot and controller) and robot systems
A YAMAHA robot (robot and controller) is just one component in a robot system, and
is not, in itself, a robot system.
This is because a YAMAHA robot does not include the "end effector(s)" or "any
equipment, devices, or sensors required for the robot to perform its tasks", as defined
in "Robot systems" of the ISO 10218-1: 2006 Standard - Clause 3.20.
2.2.2 CE marking
YAMAHA robots are components that are incorporated into the customer's system (built-in
equipment). We therefore declare regarding EC Directives that YAMAHA robots are "semi-
final products" and so we do not affix a CE mark to the robots.
