tied to the Generic standards for the final application of our drives; we therefore continue to design, test and
certify our drives to these standards.
Who is Responsible?
Within a system the drive is considered to be a component. It remains the responsibility of the system
manufacturer to verify that the goals as defined in the EMC directive (essential requirements) are being
met. In practice this means that compliance to harmonised standards is sufficient to show compliance with
the directive
All Parker Hannifin Manufacturing products are tested to ensure compliance with the harmonised
standards. However it must be remembered that there is no guarantee that combinations of compliant
components will result in a compliant system. This means that compliance to harmonised standards will
have to be demonstrated for the system as a whole to ensure compliance with the directive
Relevant Apparatus

Occasionally, say in a case where an existing fixed speed motor - such as a fan or pump - is converted to
variable speed with an add-on drive module (relevant apparatus), it becomes the responsibility of Parker
Hannifin Manufacturing to apply the CE mark and issue an EC Declaration of Conformity for the EMC
Directive. This declaration and the CE mark is included at the end of this chapter.
Component

The majority of Parker Hannifin Manufacturing products are classed as components and therefore we
cannot apply the CE mark or produce an EC Declaration of Conformity in respect of EMC. It is therefore
the manufacturer/supplier/installer of the higher system/apparatus or machine who must conform to the
EMC directive and CE mark.
Note When two or more EMC compliant components are combined to form the final 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.
