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:

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.

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.

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.
