Chapter 11 EMC and the CE Mark
‘CE’ EMC RESPONSIBILITY
The subject of CE marking and EMC is explored in more detail in a separate Eurotherm Application
manual entitled ‘EMC Installation Guidelines for modules and systems’, part number HA388879,
available from your local Eurotherm Drives office. The following sections are the minimum necessary
for installation and basic understanding.
Eurotherm Drives are adhering to the CEMEP recommendations on ‘CE’ marking for EMC.
According to SI No. 2372, implementing the EMC directive into UK law, the requirement to CE mark
for EMC, applies only to
relevant apparatus that has ‘ intrinsic function’ to the end user and which
is placed on the market ( supplied ). The majority of drive modules/systems sold by Eurotherm Drives
will be incorporated into a higher system/apparatus or machine which includes (at least) the motor,
cable and a driven load before providing intrinsic function to the end user. As such the majority of
Eurotherm Drives products are categorised as
components (CEMEP validity field 2) and it would be
incorrect for Eurotherm Drives to apply the CE mark or produce an EC Declaration of Conformity in
respect of EMC. It is the manufacturer/supplier/installer of the relevant apparatus (with the intrinsic
function to the end user) who must demonstrate conformance to the EMC directive
However, in a minority of cases, single drives may have intrinsic function to the end user. An example
is that of ‘
add on’ intrinsic function, where an existing fixed speed motor application (such as a fan or
a pump) is converted to variable speed with an add on drive module (CEMEP validity field 1). In this
application Eurotherm Drives CE mark its drive module and issue an EC declaration of conformity.
Because the validity of the ‘CE’ mark for EMC is not known when the product is manufactured, the
‘CE’ mark will be applied via the product manual, and will not be on the product label. From 1997,
when the ‘CE’ mark for the Low Voltage Directive becomes mandatory, the CE mark will appear on
the product label, but its validity for EMC can only be identified from the product manual.
The validity of the ‘CE’ mark can be identified from the flowchart in figure A, refer to SI No. 2372 for
clarification of relevant apparatus.
To assist manufacturers/suppliers/installers of relevant apparatus, Eurotherms 582, 583 and 5831 drive
modules are EMC compliant to EN50081-1 (1992), EN50082-1 (1992), EN50081-2 (1994) and
prEN50082-2 (1992), when fitted with the specified filter and installed according to these instructions,
as confirmed by the manufacturers EMC Declaration to be found at the end of this chapter.
Manufacturers/suppliers/installers of relevant apparatus (CEMEP validity fields 3 & 4) may use this
compliance as a basis for their own justification of overall compliance with the EMC Directive.
It must be clearly understood by the customer before installation commences who is legally responsible
for conformance with the EMC Directive. Misappropriation of the CE mark is a criminal offence.
