Ce Labelling; Ce Conformity And Labelling; What Is Covered - Danfoss VLT HVAC Drive FC 102 Design Manual

Introduction
CAUTION
INTERNAL FAILURE HAZARD
2 2
An internal failure in the frequency converter can result
in serious injury, when the frequency converter is not
properly closed.
•
Ensure that all safety covers are in place and
securely fastened, before applying power.
CAUTION
UNINTENDED MOTOR ROTATION
WINDMILLING
Unintended rotation of permanent magnet motors can
result in serious injury or equipment damage.
•
Ensure that permanent magnet motors are
blocked to prevent unintended rotation.

2.2 CE Labelling

2.2.1 CE Conformity and Labelling

What is CE conformity and labelling?
The purpose of CE labelling is to avoid technical trade
obstacles within EFTA and the EU. The EU has introduced
the CE label as a simple way of showing whether a
product complies with the relevant EU directives. The CE
label says nothing about the specifications or quality of
the product. Frequency converters follow three EU
directives:
The machinery directive (2006/42/EC)
Frequency converters with integrated safety function are
now falling under the machinery directive. Danfoss CE-
labels in accordance with the directive and issues a
declaration of conformity upon request. Frequency
converters without safety function do not fall under the
machinery directive. However, if a frequency converter is
supplied for use in a machine, we provide information on
safety aspects relating to the frequency converter.

Design Guide
Do not dispose of equipment containing
electrical components together with
domestic waste.
Collect it separately in accordance with
local and currently valid legislation.

The low-voltage directive (2006/95/EC)
Frequency converters must be CE labelled in accordance
with the low-voltage directive of January 1, 1997. The
directive applies to all electrical equipment and appliances
used in the 50–1000 V AC and the 75–1500 V DC voltage
ranges. Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive
and issues a declaration of conformity upon request.
The EMC directive (2004/108/EC)
EMC is short for electromagnetic compatibility. The
presence of electromagnetic compatibility means that the
mutual interference between different components/
appliances does not affect the way the appliances work.
The EMC directive came into effect January 1, 1996.
Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive and
issues a declaration of conformity upon request. To carry
out EMC-correct installation, see chapter 5.7 EMC-correct
Installation. In addition, we specify which standards our
products comply with. We offer the filters presented in the
specifications and provide other types of assistance to
ensure the optimum EMC result.
Trade professionals use the frequency converter as a
complex component forming part of a larger appliance,
system, or installation. The responsibility for the final EMC
properties of the appliance, system, or installation rests
with the installer.

2.2.2 What Is Covered

The EU "Guidelines on the Application of Council Directive
2004/108/EC" outline three typical situations for using a
frequency converter. See chapter 2.2.3 Danfoss Frequency
Converter and CE Labelling and chapter 2.2.4 Compliance
with EMC Directive 2004/108/EC for CE labelling and EMC
coverage.
1. The frequency converter is sold directly to the
end-consumer. The frequency converter is for
example sold to a DIY market. The end-consumer
is a layman who uses the frequency converter
with a hobby machine, or household appliance.
For such applications, the frequency converter
must be CE labelled in accordance with the EMC
directive.
2. The frequency converter is sold for installation in
a plant, such as a production plant or a heating/
ventilation plant designed and installed by trade
professionals. The frequency converter and the
finished plant do not have to be CE labelled
under the EMC directive. However, the unit must
comply with the basic EMC requirements of the
directive. Use components, appliances, and
systems that are CE labelled under the EMC
directive.
