European Directives and Standards
Servo amplifiers are components that are intended to be incorporated into electrical plant and
machines for industrial use. When the servo amplifiers are built into machines or plant, the amplifier
must not be used until it has been established that the machine or equipment fulfills the require-
ments of the EC Machinery Directive (98/37/EC), the EC EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) and the EC
Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC.
Standards to be applied for conformance with the EC Machinery Directive (98/37/EC):
EN 60204-1 (Safety and Electrical Equipment in Machines)
EN 292
The manufacturer of the machine must generate a hazard analysis for the machine,
and must implement appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen movements
cannot cause injury or damage to any person or property.
Standards to be applied for conformance with the EC Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC):
EN 60204-1 (Safety and Electrical Equipment in Machines)
EN 50178
EN 60439-1 (Low Voltage Switchgear Combinations)
Standards to be applied for conformance with the EC EMC Directive (89/336/EEC):
EN 61000-6-1 / EN 61000-6-2 (Interference Immunity in Residential & Industrial Areas)
EN 61000-6-3 / EN 61000-6-4 (Interference Generation in Residential & Industrial Areas)
The manufacturer of the machine/plant is responsible for ensuring that it meets the limits required
by the EMC regulations. Advice on the correct installation for EMC (such as shielding, grounding,
treatment of connectors and cable layout) can be found in this documentation.
The machine/plant manufacturer must check whether other standards or EC
Directives must be applied to the machine/plant.
2.4
CE conformance
Conformance with the EC EMC Directive 89/336/EEC and the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC is
mandatory for the supply of servo amplifiers within the European Community. Product standard EN
61800-3 is applied to ensure conformance with the EMC Directive. The Declaration of Conformity
form can be found on our website (download area).
Concerning noise immunity the servo amplifier meets the requirements to the 2nd environmental
category (industrial environment). For noise emission the amplifier meets the requirement to a prod-
uct of the category C3.
Warning! This product can cause high-frequency interferences in non industrial
environments which can require measures for interference suppression.
The servo amplifiers have been tested in a defined configuration, using the system components that
are described in this documentation. Any divergence from the configuration and installation
described in this documentation means that you will be responsible for carrying out new measure-
ments to ensure conformance with regulatory requirements. The standard EN 50178 is applied to
ensure conformance with the Low Voltage Directive.
