directive. Misappropriation of the CE mark is a criminal offence.
It is important that you have now defined who is responsible for conforming to the EMC
directive, either:
Parker SSD Drives Responsibility
You intend to use the unit as relevant apparatus.
When the specified EMC filter is correctly fitted to the unit following EMC installation
instructions, it complies with the relevant standards indicated in the following tables. The fitting
of the filter is mandatory for the CE marking of this unit to apply.
The relevant declarations are to be found at the end of this chapter. The CE mark is displayed on
the EC Declaration of Conformity (EMC Directive) provided at the end of this chapter.
Customer Responsibility
You intend to use the unit as a component, therefore you have a choice:
1. To fit the specified filter following EMC installation instructions, which may help you gain
EMC compliance for the final machine/system.
2. Not to fit the specified filter, but use a combination of global or local filtering and screening
methods, natural migration through distance, or the use of distributed parasitic elements of
the existing installation.
machine/system, the resulting machine/system may no longer be compliant, (emissions
tend to be additive, immunity is determined by the least immune component). Understand
the EMC environment and applicable standards to keep additional compliance costs to a
minimum.
Applying for CE Marking for EMC
We have supplied a Manufacturer's EMC Declaration at the end of this chapter that you can use
as a basis for your own justification of overall compliance with the EMC directive. There are
three methods of demonstrating conformity:
1. Self-certification to a relevant standard
2. Third party testing to a relevant standard
3. Writing a technical construction file stating the technical rationale as to why your final
machine/system is compliant. An EMC "competent body" must then assess this and issue a
technical report or certificate to demonstrate compliance.
Refer to Article 10(2) of Directive 89/336/EEC.
With EMC compliance, an EC Declaration of Conformity and the CE mark will be issued for
your final machine/system.
systems defined as components who supply, place on the market or install the relevant
apparatus must take responsibility for demonstrating EMC conformance and applying
the CE mark and issuing an EC Declaration of Conformity.
