Introduction

1.6.1.3 Machinery Directive

Frequency converters are classified as electronic
components subject to the low-voltage directive, however
frequency converters with an integrated safety function
must comply with the machinery directive 2006/42/EC.
Frequency converters without safety function do not fall
under the machinery directive. If a frequency converter is
integrated into machinery system, Danfoss provides
information on safety aspects relating to the frequency
converter.
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC covers a machine
consisting of an aggregate of interconnected components
or devices of which at least one is capable of mechanical
movement. The directive mandates that the equipment
design must ensure the safety and health of people and
livestock are not endangered and the preservation of
material worth so long as the equipment is properly
installed, maintained, and used as intended.
When frequency converters are used in machines with at
least one moving part, the machine manufacturer must
provide declaration stating compliance with all relevant
statutes and safety measures. Danfoss CE-labels comply
with the machinery directive for frequency converters with
an integrated safety function and provide a declaration of
conformity upon request.
