Notes for Manufacturers of Machines

Introduction The SIMATIC programmable controller system is not a machine as defined in
the EU directive for machinery. There is therefore no declaration of conformity
for SIMATIC within the frame work of the EU Machinery Directive
89/392/EEC.
EU Machinery
The EU Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC regulates requirments relating to
Directive machinery. A machine is defined here as an assembly of interconnected parts or
89/392/EEC components (see also EN 292-1, Paragraph 3.1).
The SIMATIC PLC is part of the electrical equipment of a machine and must
therefore be included by the machine manufacturer in the declaration of
conformity procedure.
