ABB ACL30 - CE Marking; Compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive; Compliance with the European EMC Directive; Compliance with the Machinery Directive

Technical data 329
CE marking
A CE mark is attached to the drive to verify that the drive follows the provisions of the
European Low Voltage, EMC and RoHS Directives. The CE marking also verifies that
the drive, in regard to its safety functions (such as Safe torque off), conforms with the
Machinery Directive as a safety component.
 Compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive
The compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive is verified according to
standards EN 60204-1 and EN 61800-5-1.
 Compliance with the European EMC Directive
The EMC Directive defines the requirements for immunity and emissions of electrical
equipment used within the European Union. The EMC product standard (EN 61800-
3:2004) covers requirements stated for drives. See section Compliance with EN
61800-3:2004 below.
The cabinet builder is responsible for the compliance of the drive system with the
European EMC Directive. For information on items to consider, see:
• Subsections First environment (drive of category C2); Second environment (drive
of category C3); and Second environment (drive of category C4) below
• Chapter Planning the electrical installation in this manual
• Technical Guide No. 3 – EMC Compliant Installation and Configuration for a
Power Drive System (3AFE61348280 [English]).
 Compliance with the Machinery Directive
The drive is an electronic product which is covered by the European Low Voltage
Directive. However, the drive includes the Safe torque off function and can be
equipped with other safety functions for machinery which, as safety components, are
in the scope of the Machinery Directive. These functions of the drive comply with
European harmonized standards such as EN 61800-5-2.
