intended. Electrical equipment devices used alone or as part of a system must bear the CE mark. Systems do not require the CE
mark, but must comply with the basic protection requirements of the EMC Directive.
3.2.1.3 Machinery Directive
The aim of the Machinery Directive is to ensure personal safety and avoid property damage to mechanical equipment used in its
intended application. The Machinery Directive applies to a machine consisting of an aggregate of interconnected components or
devices of which at least 1 is capable of mechanical movement. Drives with an integrated functional safety function must comply
with the Machinery Directive. Drives without a functional safety function do not fall under the Machinery Directive. If a drive is inte-
grated into a machinery system, Danfoss can provide information on safety aspects relating to the drive. When drives are used in
machines with at least 1 moving part, the machine manufacturer must provide a declaration stating compliance with all relevant
statutes and safety measures.
3.2.1.4 ErP Directive
The ErP Directive is the European Ecodesign Directive for energy-related products. The directive sets ecodesign requirements for
energy-related products, including drives, and aims at reducing the energy consumption and environmental impact of products by
establishing minimum energy-efficiency standards.

3.2.1.7 Radio Equipment Directive
Devices that emit or receive radio waves as part of radio communication are required to comply with the Radio Equipment Direc-
tive. The drive itself does not contain a radio device, and hence compliance to the directive is not relevant. However, user interfaces
containing active radio devices, such as the integrated control panel with wireless communication capabilities, comply with the di-
rective.

both tests products and monitors their production to ensure that companies stay compliant with their regulations.
3.2.6 EAC
Illustration 2: EAC Mark
The EAC logo must be both on the product label and on the packaging label. All products used within the EAC area must be bought
at Danfoss inside the EAC area.
