Emc And Low Voltage Directive; Requirements For Compliance With Emc Directive - Mitsubishi MELESEC-ST User Manual

11 EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE

11 EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE
In order to sell products in European countries, the manufacturers have been legally
required to show that the products are compliant with the EMC Directive and the Low
Voltage Directive, which are both European Directives, since 1996 and 1997,
respectively.
The manufactures must declare that the corresponding products are compliant with the
above European Directives and put the "CE mark" on them.

11.1 Requirements for Compliance with EMC Directive

The EMC Directive specifies that products on the market must "be constructed so that
they do not cause excessive electromagnetic interference (emissions) and are not
affected by electromagnetic interference (immunity)".
The target products are requested to meet these requirements. The sections 11.1.1
through 11.1.5 outline the precautions on compliance with the EMC Directive for the
machinery that includes the MELSEC-ST series.
The description are based on the regulations, the relevant requirements and standards
that Mitsubishi has satisfied, however, are not for assuring that the machinery is
compliant with the above Directives, even if it is built according to the description.
Therefore, those who actually built the machinery should make a decision on how to
comply with the EMC Directive and if the machinery is compliant with the standard or
not.
