1.5.2 CE Mark

Illustration 1.1 CE
The CE mark (Communauté Européenne) indicates that the
product manufacturer conforms to all applicable EU
directives. The EU directives applicable to the design and
manufacture of drives are listed in Table 1.4.
NOTICE
The CE mark does not regulate the quality of the
product. Technical specifications cannot be deduced from
the CE mark.
NOTICE
Drives with an integrated safety function must comply
with the machinery directive.

1) Machinery Directive conformance is only required for drives with
an integrated safety function.
Declarations of conformity are available on request.
1.5.2.1 Low Voltage Directive
Drives must be CE-labeled in accordance with the Low
Voltage Directive of January 1, 2014. The Low Voltage
Directive applies to all electrical equipment in the 50–
1000 V AC and the 75–1500 V DC voltage ranges.
The aim of the directive is to ensure personal safety and
avoid property damage when operating electrical
equipment that is installed, maintained, and used as
intended.
1.5.2.2 EMC Directive
The purpose of the EMC (electromagnetic compatibility)
Directive is to reduce electromagnetic interference and
enhance immunity of electrical equipment and instal-
lations. The basic protection requirement of the EMC
Directive is that devices that generate electromagnetic
interference (EMI), or whose operation could be affected

by EMI, must be designed to limit the generation of
electromagnetic interference. The devices must have a
suitable degree of immunity to EMI when properly
installed, maintained, and used as intended.
Electrical equipment devices used alone or as part of a
system must bear the CE mark. Systems do not require the
CE mark, but must comply with the basic protection
requirements of the EMC Directive.
1.5.2.3 Machinery Directive
The aim of the Machinery Directive is to ensure personal
safety and avoid property damage to mechanical
equipment used in its intended application. The Machinery
Directive applies to a machine consisting of an aggregate
of interconnected components or devices of which at least
1 is capable of mechanical movement.
Drives with an integrated safety function must comply with
the Machinery Directive. Drives without a safety function
do not fall under the Machinery Directive. If a drive is
integrated into a machinery system, Danfoss can provide
information on safety aspects relating to the drive.
When drives are used in machines with at least 1 moving
part, the machine manufacturer must provide a declaration
stating compliance with all relevant statutes and safety
measures.
1.5.2.4 ErP Directive
The ErP Directive is the European Ecodesign Directive for
energy-related products. The directive sets ecodesign
requirements for energy-related products, including drives.
The aim of the directive is to increase energy efficiency
and the level of protection of the environment, while
increasing the security of the energy supply. Environmental
impact of energy-related products includes energy
consumption throughout the entire product life cycle.

1.5.3 C-tick Compliance

Illustration 1.2 C-tick
The C-tick label indicates compliance with the applicable
technical standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC). C-tick compliance is required for placing electrical
and electronic devices on the market in Australia and New
Zealand.
