8.4.4 EMC legislation and CE identification
As a whole, the system must meet certain minimum requirements as regards
interference immunity. The system manufacturer or seller of the overall
machine is responsible for complying with these specifications. This is
specified by the EMC legislation based on the EMC Directive of the Council
of Europe.
The minimum requirements to comply with EMC legislation is specified in
product (family) standards. If these standards do not exist, basic technical
standards are applied. Conformity with the corresponding regulations is
indicated by attachment of the CE identification.
The CE identification indicates conformity with all the relevant directives of
the Council of Europe. However, it is not a seal of approval, and does not
guarantee any properties; it is only intended for the monitoring authorities.
Depending on the product and area of application, a number of directives
can be relevant. In addition, the manufacturer must draw up a corresponding
declaration of conformity, which must be made available to the authorities on
request.
Conformity is usually evidenced by standard tests, described in the so-called
base standards, e.g. in EN 61 000-4-X = VDE 0847-4-X. However, to
ensure interference immunity on site, the user must also adhere to the
installation conditions specified by the manufacturer.
On setting up the system or machine, the EMC Directive, the Low Voltage
Directive, the Machine Directive and possibly other directives relating to
special types of system must be observed.
