What is CE-labelling ?
The purpose of CE-labelling is to avoid technical
obstacles to trade within EFTA and the EU. The EU
has introduced the CE-label as a simple way of
showing whether a product complies with the
relevant EU directives. The CE-label says nothing
about the quality or specifications of a product.
Three EU directives relate to frequency converters:
•
•
•
•
• The machine directive (89/392/EEC)
The machine directive (89/392/EEC)
The machine directive (89/392/EEC)
The machine directive (89/392/EEC)
The machine directive (89/392/EEC)
All machines with critical, moving parts are
comprised by the machine directive which
came into force on 1 January 1995. Since a
frequency converter is largely electrical by
function, it does not fall under the machine
directive. However, if a frequency converter is
supplied for use in a machine, we provide
information about the safety aspects relating
to the frequency converter. We do that by
means of a manufacturer’s declaration.

•
• The low voltage directive (73/23/EEC)
The low voltage directive (73/23/EEC)
The low voltage directive (73/23/EEC)
The low voltage directive (73/23/EEC)
The low voltage directive (73/23/EEC)
Frequency converters must be CE-labelled in
accordance with the low voltage directive
which came into force on 1 January 1997.
This directive applies to all electrical
equipment and units used in the 50-1000 V
AC and 75-1500 V DC voltage ranges.
Danfoss provides its units with CE-labels in
accordance with the directive and issues
declarations of conformity upon request.

• The EMC directive (89/336/EEC)
The EMC directive (89/336/EEC)
The EMC directive (89/336/EEC)
The EMC directive (89/336/EEC)
The EMC directive (89/336/EEC)
EMC is short for electromagnetic compatibility.
The presence of electromagnetic compatibility
means that the mutual interference between
different components/appliances is so small that
the functioning of the appliances is not affected.
The EMC directive came into force on 1 January
1996. In accordance with the directive, Danfoss
CE-labels its products and issues a declaration
of conformity upon request.
To help ensure that your installation is EMC-correct,
the manual provides detailed instructions for
installation. Furthermore, we specify which norms
that are complied with by which of our products. We
offer the filters that can be seen from the
specifications and gladly provide other types of
assistance that can help you obtain the best possible
EMC result.
In most cases the VLT frequency converter is used by
professionals of the trade as a complex component
forming part of a larger appliance, system or
installation. It must be noted that the responsibility for
the final EMC properties of the appliance, system or
installation rests with the installer.
