2.1.3 Disposal Instruction

Equipment containing electrical

components may not be disposed of

together with domestic waste.

It must be separately collected with

electrical and electronic waste according

to local and currently valid legislation.

2.2 CE Labelling

2.2.1 CE Conformity and Labelling

What is CE Conformity and Labelling?

The purpose of CE labelling is to avoid technical trade

obstacles within EFTA and the EU. The EU has introduced

the CE label as a simple way of showing whether a

product complies with the relevant EU directives. The CE

label says nothing about the specifications or quality of

the product. Frequency converters are regulated by 3 EU

directives:

The machinery directive (2006/42/EC)

Frequency converters with integrated safety function are

now falling under the Machinery Directive. Danfoss CE-

labels in accordance with the directive and issues a

declaration of conformity upon request. Frequency

converters without safety function do not fall under the

machinery directive. However, if a frequency converter is

supplied for use in a machine, we provide information on

safety aspects relating to the frequency converter.

The low-voltage directive (2006/95/EC)

Frequency converters must be CE labelled in accordance

with the low-voltage directive of January 1, 1997. The

directive applies to all electrical equipment and appliances

used in the 50-1000 V AC and the 75-1500 V DC voltage

ranges. Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive

and issues a declaration of conformity upon request.

The EMC directive (2004/108/EC)

EMC is short for electromagnetic compatibility. The

presence of electromagnetic compatibility means that the

mutual interference between different components/

appliances does not affect the way the appliances work.

The EMC directive came into effect January 1, 1996.

Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive and

issues a declaration of conformity upon request. To carry

out EMC-correct installation, see the instructions in this

Design Guide. In addition, Danfoss specifies which

standards our products comply with. Danfoss offers the

filters presented in the specifications and provide other

types of assistance to ensure the optimum EMC result.

The frequency converter is most often used by profes-

sionals of the trade as a complex component forming part

of a larger appliance, system or installation. It must be

noted that the responsibility for the final EMC properties of

the appliance, system or installation rests with the installer.

2.2.2 What Is Covered

The EU "Guidelines on the Application of Council Directive

2004/108/EC" outline 3 typical situations of using a

frequency converter.

1. The frequency converter is sold directly to the

end user. For such applications, the frequency

converter must be CE labelled in accordance with

the EMC directive.

2. The frequency converter is sold as part of a

system. It is being marketed as complete system,

e.g. an air-conditioning system. The complete

system must be CE labelled in accordance with

the EMC directive. The manufacturer can ensure

CE labelling under the EMC directive by testing

the EMC of the system. The components of the

system need not to be CE marked.

3. The frequency converter is sold for installation in

a plant. It could be a production or a heating/

ventilation plant designed and installed by

professionals of the trade. The frequency

converter must be CE labelled under the EMC

directive. The finished plant should not bear the

CE mark. However, the installation must comply

with the essential requirements of the directive.

This is assumed by using appliances and systems

that are CE labelled under the EMC directive

2.2.3

Danfoss Frequency Converter and CE

Labelling

The purpose of CE labelling is to facilitate trade within the

EU and EFTA.

However, CE labelling may cover many different specifi-

cations. Thus, check what a given CE label specifically

covers.

The covered specifications can be very different and a CE

label may therefore give the installer a false feeling of

security when using a frequency converter as a component

in a system or an appliance.
