Compliance

CE Compliance

The unit has been designed and tested to comply with directive 73/23/EEC and its subsequent
amendments by the European Community (EC or CE). The directive relates to electrical
equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits. It ensures that electrical equipment is
constructed with good engineering practice in safety matters.
The unit has been designed and tested to comply with directive 89/336/EEC, exclusive of the
1997 amendment. The directive relates to electromagnetic compatibility. It demands that
electromagnetic disturbance does not exceed a prescribed level; that the equipment be
immune to a prescribed level of ambient level of interference; that the equipment be protected
against electrostatic discharges; and that the equipment be immune to all electrical shock
wave disturbances.
The requirements specified by directive 89/336/EEC are as follows. CE compliance requires
that the manufacturer or its authorized representative established within the Community affix
the EC conformity mark to the apparatus or else to the packaging, instructions for use, or
guarantee certificate. The EC conformity mark shall consist of the letters CE as specified and
the figures of the year in which the mark was affixed. This mark should, where appropriate, be
accompanied by the distinctive letters used by the notified body issuing the EC type-
examination certificate. Where the apparatus is the subject of other Directives providing for the
EC conformity mark, the affixing of the EC mark shall also indicate conformity with the relevant
requirements of those other Directives.
