What is CE labelling?The purpose of CE labelling is to avoid technical obstaclesto trade within EFTA and the EU. The EU has introducedthe CE label as a simple way of showing whether aproduct complies with the relevant EU directives. The CElabel says nothing about the specifications or quality ofthe product. Frequency converters are regulated by 3 EUdirectives:The machinery directive (98/37/EEC)All machines with critical moving parts are covered by themachinery directive. Since a frequency converter is largelyelectrical, it does not fall under the machinery directive.However, if a frequency converter is supplied for use in amachine, Danfoss provides information on safety aspectsrelating to the frequency converter. Danfoss does this witha manufacturer's declaration.The low-voltage directive (73/23/EEC)Frequency converters must be CE labelled in accordancewith the low-voltage directive. The directive applies to allelectrical equipment and appliances used in the 50-1000 VAC and the 75-1500 V DC voltage ranges. Danfoss CElabels in accordance with the directive and issues adeclaration of conformity upon request.The EMC directive (89/336/EEC)EMC is short for electromagnetic compatibility. Thepresence of electromagnetic compatibility means that themutual interference between different components/appliances is so small that the functioning of theappliances is not affected.Danfoss CE labels in accordance with the directive andissues a declaration of conformity upon request. To carryout EMC-correct installation, this manual gives detailedinstructions for installation. In addition, Danfoss specifiesthe standards which our different products comply with.The frequency converter is most often used by profes-sionals of the trade as a complex component forming partof a larger appliance, system or installation. It must benoted that the responsibility for the final EMC properties ofthe appliance, system or installation rests with the installer.1.6 DisposalDo not dispose of equipment containingelectrical components together withdomestic waste.Collect it separately in accordance withlocal and currently valid legislation.Introduction to VLT 2800 Design Guide8 Danfoss A/S © Rev.
