CE marking, EMC directives
CE-Sign
(Declaration of Conformity)
(Applies only for machines to be sold within the European
Community)
"The machine was awarded with a CE-Sign".
This means that the machine fulfils the applicable "General Health
and Safety Requirements" of the so-called EC machine directive.
An EC Declaration of Conformity accompanies the machine as evi-
dence for the fulfilment of the above mentioned requirements. If
any conversions are made which have an adverse effect on the sa-
L64437A
fety of the machine, the person introducing this modification is fully
responsible for the resulting effects.
If the machine is used for purposes other than the ones mentioned
in these operating instructions, the safety of the machine must be
assured in any case. The person applying such measures takes
full responsibility. In certain cases it may be necessary to obtain a
new CE-Sign and to issue a new Declaration of Conformity.
Volvo is only reliable for machines which are operated with
the attachments, equipment and spare parts specified by us.
Attachments (optional equipment) manufactured by us are adap-
ted integral parts of the machine. The CE-Sign therefore also co-
vers our attachments. We do not assume liability for attachments
made by other manufacturers.
Materials having an effect on noise, such as noise insulating, noise
reducing or noise absorbing materials, must not be altered or re-
moved. It is also prohibited to cut holes into cabin or engine
compartment, since this would have a negative effect on the noise
level.
EMC Regulations of the EC
Under certain conditions the electronic equipment may have an in-
terfering effect on other electronic equipment, or other electronic
equipment may interfere with the electronic equipment on the ma-
chine, which may affect safety. The EMC regulations of the EC
concerning the "Electromagnetic Conformity" contain a general
description of the requirements, which may be appropriate for the
safety of a machine, the limits of which are specified in internation-
al standards. Machines or apparatuses which meet these de-
mands are awarded with the CE-Sign. Our machines have been
especially tested for electromagnetic interference. Both the CE-
sign and the declaration of conformity refer to the EMC regula-
tions. If another piece of electronic equipment is to be fitted to the
machine it must have the CE-Sign and the machine must have
been checked for the effect of electromagnetic interference
