3.1
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/EEC):
EN 60204-1 (Safety and Electrical Equipment in Machines)
EN 12100
The manufacturer of the machine must generate a hazard analysis for the machine,
and take 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.
