CE marking

This section provides a basic description of how YAMAHA robot series products are
compatible with CE marking.
1-2-1 Safety standards
I Safety precaution for EC directive applicability
The YAMAHA robot series products (robots and controllers) do not fall within the
robot systems category. We define the YAMAHA robot series products as equipment
to be incorporated (built-in equipment) into your system, and declare that our prod-
ucts conform to the EC directives only within the scope of that equipment. Therefore,
although CE marking is affixed to any single unit of YAMAHA robot series products,
this means that use of any single unit of YAMAHA robot series products is not guar-
anteed to conform to the EC directives. When you ship your finished system to or use
it in Europe, you are required to verify that your system conforms to EC directives.
Differences between the YAMAHA robot series products (robots and
controllers) and robot systems.
YAMAHA robot series products (robots and controllers) are components used to
assemble a robot system and therefore do not constitute a robot system.
This is because YAMAHA robot series products do not include the end effector,
equipment, devices or sensors required for the robot to perform its tasks, which
are listed in the "Robot System" definition in Clause 3.2.20 of the EN775:1992
standard.
I Applicable directives and standards

*1: YAMAHA robot series products are built-in equipment unnecessary to adapt to the machinery directives.
However, YAMAHA robot series products conform to the above standards regarding the required items for
basic health and safety.
*2: The SRCX and DRCX controllers conform to the above directives and related standards. However, the ERCX
controller operates on DC 24V and is therefore excluded from the above directives and related standards.
*3: YAMAHA robot series products are tested according to the above directives and related standards. EMC
countermeasures for a single unit of YAMAHA robots are described in Chapter 3, "EMC Countermeasures".
