Emc And Low Voltage Directives - Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC LJ72GF15-T2-U-HW Safety Manuallines

4. EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVES

In each country, regulations concerning electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) and electrical safety are enacted.
For the products sold in the European countries, compliance with the
EU's EMC Directive has been a legal obligation as EMC regulation
since 1996, as well as the EU's Low Voltage Directive as electrical
safety regulation since 1997.
Manufacturers who recognize their products are compliant to the EMC
and Low Voltage Directives are required to attach a "CE marking" on
their products in European countries.
In some other countries and regions, manufacturers are required to
make their products compliant with applicable laws or regulations and
attach a certification mark on the products as well (such as UK
Conformity Assessed (UKCA) marking in the UK, and Korea
Certification (KC) marking in South Korea).
Each country works to make their regulatory requirements consistent
across countries based on international standards. When the
requirements are consistent, measures to comply with the EMC and
electrical safety regulations become common across countries.
The UK and South Korea have enacted EMC regulations whose
requirements are consistent with those of the EMC Directive.
The UK has also enacted electrical safety regulations whose
requirements are consistent with those of the Low Voltage Directive. In
this section, the requirements of the EMC and Low Voltage Directives
are described as examples of those of the EMC and electrical safety
regulations.
