2.3 CE Labelling

2.3.1 CE Conformity and Labelling
What is CE Conformity and Labelling?
The purpose of CE labelling 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. There are three EU directives that regulate
frequency converters:
The machinery directive (2006/42/EC)
Frequency converters with integrated safety function are
now falling under the Machinery Directive. Danfoss CE-
labels in accordance with the directive and issues a
declaration of conformity upon request. Frequency
converters without safety function do not fall under the
machinery directive. However, if a frequency converter is
supplied for use in a machine, we provide information on
safety aspects relating to the frequency converter.
The low-voltage directive (2006/95/EC)
Frequency converters must be CE labelled in accordance
with the low-voltage directive of January 1, 1997. 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)
®
VLT AQUA Drive FC 202 Design Guide
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. Additionally, find specifications of which
standards the Danfoss products comply with. The filters
presented in the specifications are part of the product
range. Furthermore, Danfoss offers other types of
assistance to ensure optimum EMC result.
2.3.2 What Is Covered
The EU "Guidelines on the Application of Council Directive
2004/108/EC" outline three typical situations of using a
frequency converter. See the following list for EMC
coverage and CE labelling.
2.3.3 Danfoss Frequency Converter and CE
CE labelling is a positive feature when used for its original
purpose, which is to facilitate trade within the EU and
EFTA.

MG20Z102 - VLT is a registered Danfoss trademark
1. The frequency converter is sold directly to the
end consumer, for example, to a DIY market. The
end consumer is a layman who installs the
frequency converter for use with a household
appliance. For such applications, the frequency
converter must be CE labelled in accordance with
the EMC directive.
2. The frequency converter is sold for installation in
a plant designed by professionals of the trade.
The frequency converter and the finished plant
do not have to be CE labelled under the EMC
directive. However, the unit must comply with
the basic EMC requirements of the directive.
Compliance is ensured by using components,
appliances, and systems that are CE labelled
under the EMC directive.
3. The frequency converter is sold as part of a
complete system (an air-conditioning system, for
example). The complete system must be CE
labelled in accordance with the EMC directive.
The manufacturer can ensure CE labelling under
the EMC directive either by using CE labelled
components or by testing the EMC of the system.
If the manufacturer chooses to use only CE
labelled components, there is no need to test the
entire system.
