CE directive
CE Marking
With the declaration of conformity and the CE mark on the product
the manufacturer certifi es that the product complies with the
requirements of all relevant EC New Approach Directives. For each of
the relevant New Approach Directives the manufacturer is to adopt an
appropriate Harmonised Standard.
Machinery Directive 98/37/EC
The Machinery Directive describes a machine as "an assembly of
linked parts or components, at least one of which moves, with the
appropriate actuators, control and power circuits, etc., joined
together for a specifi c application..." Parvalux products as supplied
do not have a specifi c application as they do not perform a complete
mechanical function and must be installed by a competent person.
As a result, compliance with the Machinery Directive is not required
provided that a safety standard relevant to the type of equipment is
adopted, for example the generic electrical safety standard EN60204-
1.
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC
- 2004/108/EC
The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive exists to govern
the radio frequency electromagnetic emissions from equipment
such that in its intended use it does not disturb other equipment.
The Directive also governs the immunity of electrical equipment
containing electronic components to electromagnetic interference
that may be produced by other electrical equipment. Parvalux
products comply with the EMC Directive when installed in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC - 2006/95/EC
The Low Voltage Directive exists to ensure that electrical equipment
is safe in respect of all risks, electrical and otherwise. Parvalux
chooses to adopt EN60204-1 for motors within the scope of the Low
Voltage Directive, and also to comply with the safety aspects of this
standard for motors with operating voltages below the scope of the
LVD. Equipment with voltage ratings in the range 0-1000Vac and 7-
100Vdc is covered.
CE Marking and the responsibilities of the customer
It is the responsibility of the customer or machine manufacturer who
places an assembly or fi nished product using a Parvalux product on the
market within the EC, to comply with the New Approach Directives
relevant to that assembly or fi nished product.
