Table 1.2 Approvals
The EC declaration of conformity is based on the following
directives:
•
Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, based on
EN61800-5-1 (2007)
•
EMC Directive 2004/108/EC based on EN61800-3
(2004)
UL Listed
Product evaluation is complete and the product can be
installed in a system. The system must also be UL listed by
the appropriate party.
UL Recognised
Additional evaluation is required before the combined
frequency converter and motor can be operated. The
system in which the product is installed must also be UL
listed by the appropriate party.
The frequency converter complies with UL508C thermal
memory retention requirements. For more information
refer to the section chapter 3.3.9 Motor Thermal Protection .
1.4.1 CE Conformity and Labeling
The purpose of CE labeling 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 are regulated by three
EU directives:

The machinery directive (2006/42/EC)
All machines with critical moving parts are covered by the
machinery directive of January 1, 1995. Since a frequency
converter is largely electrical, it does not fall under the
machinery directive. However, if a frequency converter is
supplied for use in a machine, Danfoss provides
information on safety aspects relating to the frequency
converter. Danfoss do this by means of a manufacturer's
FCP 106 FCM 106
declaration.
The low-voltage directive (2006/95/EC)
✓ ✓
Frequency converters must be CE labeled in accordance
with the low-voltage directive of October 5, 2nd edition
2007. 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 the instructions in this
Design Guide. In addition, Danfoss specifies which
standards our products comply with. Danfoss offers the
filters presented in the specifications and provide other
types of assistance to ensure the optimum EMC result.
The frequency converter is used by professionals of the
trade, most often as a component forming part of a large
appliance, complex system or installation. It must be noted
that to maintain the EMC properties of the frequency
converter, it is the obligation of the installer to follow the
installation instructions given by the manufacture. System
installation responsibility rests with the installer.
1.4.2 What is Covered
The EU document "Guidelines on the Application of Council
Directive 2004/108/EC" outlines 3 typical cases.
MG03M102 - 08/2015
1. The frequency converter is sold directly to the
end-user. For such applications, the frequency
converter must be CE labelled in accordance with
the EMC directive.
2. The frequency converter is sold as a part of a
system. It is being marked as complete system,
such as an air-conditioning system. The complete
system must be CE labelled in accordance with
the EMC directive. The manufacturer can ensure
CE compliance under the EMC directive by
testing the EMC of the system. The components
of the system not need be CE marked.
