European Directives and the CE Mark
The following information is supplied to provide a basic understanding of the EMC and low
voltage directives CE marking requirements. The following literature is recommended for
further information:
•
Recommendations for Application of Power Drive Systems (PDS), European Council
Directives - CE Marking and Technical Standardisation -
(CEMEP)
Available from your local trade association or SSD Drives office
•
EMC Installation Guidelines for Modules and Systems - (SSD Drives)
Available from your local SSD Drives office, part number HA388879
The European machines and drives manufacturers via their national trade associations have
formed the European Committee of Manufacturers of Electrical Machines and Power
Electronics (CEMEP). SSD Drives and other major European drives manufacturers are working
to the CEMEP recommendations on CE marking. The CE mark shows that a product complies
with the relevant EU directives, in our case the Low Voltage Directive and, in some instances,
the EMC Directive.
CE Marking for Low Voltage Directive
When installed in accordance with this manual, the 605C Inverter is CE marked by SSD Drives
Ltd in accordance with the low voltage directive (S.I. No. 3260 implements this LVD directive
into UK law). An EC Declaration of Conformity (low voltage directive) is included at the end of
this chapter.
CE Marking for EMC - Who is Responsible?
Note: The specified EMC emission and immunity performance of this unit can only be achieved
when the unit is installed to the EMC Installation Instructions given in this manual.
According to S.I. No. 2373 which implements the EMC directive into UK law, the requirement
for CE marking this unit falls into two categories:
1. Where the supplied unit has an intrinsic/direct function to the end user, then the unit is
classed as
relevant apparatus .
2. Where the supplied unit is incorporated into a higher system/apparatus or machine which
includes (at least) the motor, cable and a driven load but is unable to function without this
unit, then the unit is classed as a
component .
■ Relevant Apparatus - SSD Drives Responsibility
Occasionally, say in a case where an existing fixed speed motor - such as a fan or pump - is
converted to variable speed with an add-on drive module
(relevant apparatu s), it becomes the
responsibility of SSD Drives to apply the CE mark and issue an EC Declaration of Conformity
for the EMC Directive. This declaration and the CE mark is included at the end of this chapter.
■ Component - Customer Responsibility
The majority of SSD Drives’ products are classed as components and therefore we cannot apply
the CE mark or produce an EC Declaration of Conformity in respect of EMC. It is therefore the
manufacturer/supplier/installer of the higher system/apparatus or machine who must conform to
the EMC directive and CE mark.
