Requirements for Compliance with EMC Directive

The EMC Directives specifies emission and immunity criteria and requires the products to
meet both of them, i.e., not to emit excessive electromagnetic interference (emission): to
be immune to electromagnetic interference outside (immunity). Guidelines for complying
the machinery including MELSEC-Q series programmable controller with the EMC
Directives are provided in Section 8.1.1 to Section 8.1.8 below.
The guidelines are created based on the requirements of the regulations and relevant
standards, however, they do not guarantee that the machinery constructed according to
them will comply with the Directives. Therefore, manufacturers must finally determine how
to make it comply and how it is compliant with the EMC Directives.
