This is done by creating a CE marking , a "trade symbol" showing that the technicalrequirements and those for safety and health are met.Business and industry are given a wide choice of how to meet their obligations. The European standards bodieshave the task of drawing up technical specifications. Compliance with harmonised standards, of which thereference numbers have been published in the Official Journal and which have been transposed into nationalstandards, provides presumption of conformity to the corresponding essential requirements of the ECdirectives.Manufacturers are free to choose any other technical solution that provides compliance with the essentialrequirements. Compliance with harmonised standards remains voluntary and offers one route to complyingwith these essential requirements.The Declaration of Conformity signed by the companies nominated Compliance Officer is certification that theapparatus to which it refers meets the requirements of all the relevant European directives.Compliance with harmonised standards provides a "presumption of conformity”and is the route which has been adopted by Parker SSD Drives.CE Marking for the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2006/95/ECThe 0 H 0 H Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2006/95/EC seeks to ensure that electrical equipment within certain voltagelimits provides both a high level of protection for European citizens and enjoys a Single Market in theEuropean Union. The Directive covers electrical equipment designed for use with a voltage rating of between50 and 1000V for alternating current and between 75 and 1500V for direct current. For most electricalequipment, the health aspects of emissions of Electromagnetic Fields are also under the domain of the LowVoltage Directive.The LVD is one of the oldest Single Market Directives which, in broad terms, provides both a conformityassessment procedure to be applied to equipment before being placed on the Market, and Essential HealthSafety Requirements (EHSRs) which such equipment must meet either directly or by means of compliancewith harmonized standards.For electrical equipment within its scope, the Directive provides ‘The Requirements’ with respect to health andsafety covering all risks, thus ensuring that electrical equipment is safe in its intended use.In respect of conformity assessment, there is no third party intervention, as the manufacturer undertakes theconformity assessment. However, there are so-called "Notified Bodies" under the Directive, which may be usedto provide reports in response to a challenge by a national authority as to the conformity of the equipment.When installed in accordance with this manual, the product is CE marked byParker SSD Drives in accordance with the Low Voltage DirectiveParker SSD Drives' certification (DoC) is supported by tests undertaken inaccordance with harmonised standard BS EN61800-5-1This manual was downloaded on www.sdsdrives.com+44 (0)117 938 1800 - info@sdsdrives.com |
