10 Conformance to CE Markings
Points regarding conformance to CE markings are given below.
CE Markings
CE markings indicate conformance to safety and environmental stan-
dards that apply to business transactions (including production, imports,
and sales) in Europe. There are unified European standards for mechan-
ical products (Machine Directive), electrical products (Low Voltage
Directive), and electrical noise (EMC Directive). CE markings are
required for business transactions in Europe (including production,
imports, and sales).
The VS mini Series Inverters bear CE markings indicating conformance
to the Low Voltage Directive and the EMC Directive.
• Low Voltage Directive: 73/23/EEC
93/68/EEC
• EMC Directive: 89/336/EEC
92/31/EEC
93/68/EEC
Machinery and installations that incorporate the Inverter are also subject
to CE markings. It is ultimately the responsibility of customers making
products incorporating the Inverter to attach CE markings to the fin-
ished products. The customer must confirm that the finished products
(machines or installations) conform to the European Standards.
Requirements for Conformance to CE Markings
Low Voltage Directive
VS mini Series Inverters satisfy testing for conformance to the Low
Voltage Directive under the conditions described in European Standard
EN50178.
Requirements for Conformance to the Low Voltage Directive
VS mini Series Inverters must satisfy the following conditions in order
to conform to the Low Voltage Directive.
• Only basic insulation to meet the requirements of protection class 1
and overvoltage category II is provided with control circuit terminals.
Additional insulation may be necessary in the end product to conform
to CE requirements.
