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 requirements 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
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
EN 50178
EN 60439-1
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.
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 product of the category C2 (motor cable ≤ 10m).
Warning!
This product can cause high-frequency interferences in non industrial environments
which can require measures for interference suppression.
With a motor cable length from 10m onwards, the servo amplifier meets the requirement to the
category C3.
The servo amplifiers have been tested by an authorized testing laboratory 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 measurements to ensure conformance with
regulatory requirements.
The standard EN 50178 is applied to ensure conformance with the Low Voltage Directive.
