Notes for the machine manufacturer
The SIMATIC automation system is not a machine in the sense of the EC Directives Machines.
Therefore a declaration of conformity with regard to the EC Directive Machines 89/392/EC does not
exist for SIMATIC.
The EC Directive Machines 89/392/EC regulates the requirements on a machine. A machine in this
sense is a group of interconnected parts or devices (see also EN 292-1, para. 3.1).
The SIMATIC is part of the electrical equipment of a machine and must therefore be included in the
declaration of conformity procedure by the machine manufacturer.
The standard EN 60204-1 (safety of machines, general requirements for the electrical equipment of
machines) applies for the electrical equipment of machines.
The following table is intended to help you with the declaration of conformity and shows which
criteria apply to SIMATIC in accordance with EN 60204-1 (June 1993).
