1.6.1.2 EMC Directive

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) means that electro-
magnetic interference between apparatus does not hinder
their performance. The basic protection requirement of the
EMC Directive 2004/108/EC states that devices that
generate electromagnetic interference (EMI), or whose
operation could be affected by EMI, must be designed to
limit the generation of electromagnetic interference and
shall have a suitable degree of immunity to EMI when
properly installed, maintained, and used as intended.
An adjustable frequency drive can be used as stand-alone
device or as part of a more complex installation. Devices
used as stand alone or as part of a system must bear the
CE mark. Systems must not be CE-marked but must
comply with the basic protection requirements of the EMC
directive.

1.6.1.3 Machinery Directive

Adjustable frequency drives are classified as electronic
components subject to the low-voltage directive; however,
adjustable frequency drives with an integrated safety
function must comply with the machinery directive
2006/42/EC. Adjustable frequency drives without the safety
function do not fall under the machinery directive. If an
adjustable frequency drive is integrated into machinery
system, Danfoss provides information on safety aspects
relating to the adjustable frequency drive.
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC covers a machine
consisting of an aggregate of interconnected components
or devices of which at least one is capable of mechanical
movement. The directive mandates that the equipment
design must ensure the safety and health of people and
livestock are not endangered and the preservation of
material worth so long as the equipment is properly
installed, maintained, and used as intended.
When adjustable frequency drives are used in machines
with at least one moving part, the machine manufacturer
must provide declaration stating compliance with all
relevant statutes and safety measures. Danfoss CE labels
comply with the machinery directive for adjustable
frequency drives with an integrated safety function and
provide a declaration of conformity upon request.

1.8 Safety

Adjustable frequency drives contain high-voltage
components and have the potential for fatal injury if
handled improperly. Only trained technicians should install
and operate the equipment. No repair work should be
attempted without first removing power from the
adjustable frequency drive and waiting the designated
amount of time for stored electrical energy to dissipate.
