EMC DIRECTIVE

17.1

Overview

For electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical safety, regulatory standards are established in each country.
Especially, for the products to be sold in European countries, conformance to the EMC Directive, which is one of the
European Directives, has been mandatory as the EMC standards since 1996. In addition, conformance to the Low Voltage
Directive, another European Directive, has also been mandatory as the electrical safety standards since 1997.
In European countries, if a product meets the requirements of the EMC Directive or the Low Voltage Directive, the product's
manufacturer must declare conformity of the product and affix the CE mark to the product. In some countries or regions other
than European countries, the product's manufacturer also must declare conformity of the product and affix a designated mark
to the product (example: UKCA mark in the UK).
This section describes the EMC Directive and Low Voltage Directive as examples for conformance to EMC and electrical
safety standards. EMC and electrical safety standards in each country are stipulated to be consistent with the corresponding
international standards. When the requirements are consistent with the same standards, common measures are taken to
conform to the standards in different countries. For the EMC Directive, regulatory compliance with equivalent EMC standards
are required for example in the UK and Korea. For the Low Voltage Directive, regulatory compliance with equivalent electrical
safety standards are required for example in the UK.
