Overview
Declarations of Conformity
The C Mark on Sartorius Equipment
In 1985, the Council of the European
Community approved a resolution
concerning a new approach to the
technical harmonization and
standardization of national
regulations. The organization for
monitoring compliance with the
directives and standards concerning
C marking is governed in the
individual EU Member States through
the implementation of the EC
Directives adopted by the respective
national laws. As of December
1993, the scope of validity for all
EC Directives has been extended
to the Member States of the
European Union and the Signatories
of the Agreement on the European
Economic Area.
Sartorius complies with the EC
Directives and European Standards
in order to supply its customers with
weighing instruments and related
equipment that feature the latest
advanced technology and provide
many years of trouble-free service.
The C mark may be affixed only to
weighing instruments and associated
equipment that comply with the
applicable Directive(s):
Council Directive 89/336/EEC
“Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC)”
Acceptable European Standards:
Limitation of emissions:
EN 50081-1
Residential, commercial and
light industry
EN 50081-2
Industrial environment
Defined immunity to interference:
EN 50082-1
Residential, commercial and
light industry
EN 50082-2
Industrial environment
Important Note:
The operator shall be responsible
for any modifications to Sartorius
equipment and for any connections
of cables or equipment not supplied
by Sartorius and must check and,
if necessary, correct these
modifications and connections.
On request, Sartorius will provide
information on the minimum opera-
ting specifications (in accordance
with the Standards listed above for
defined immunity to interference).
Council Directive 73/23/EEC
“Electrical Equipment Designed for
Use within Certain Voltage Limits”
Applicable European Standards:
EN 60950
Safety of information technology
equipment including electrical
business equipment
EN 61010
Safety requirements for electrical
equipment for measurement, control
and laboratory use
Part 1: General requirements
If you use electrical equipment in
installations and under ambient
conditions requiring higher safety
standards, you must comply with the
provisions as specified in the
applicable regulations for installation
in your country.
Weighing Instruments for Use
in Legal Metrology:
Directive 90/384/EEC “Non-automatic
Weighing Instruments”
This Directive regulates the
determination of mass in legal
metrology.
For the respective Declaration of
Conformity for weighing instruments
that have been verified by Sartorius for
use as legal measuring instruments and
that have an EC Type-Approval
Certificate, see page 127.
This Directive also regulates the
performance of the EC verification by
the manufacturer, provided that an EC
Type-Approval Certificate has been
issued and the manufacturer has been
accredited by an officer
or a Notified Body registered
at the Commission of the European
Community for performing such
verification.
The legal basis allowing Sartorius to
perform EC verification is constituted
by the EC Council Directive No. 90/
384/ EEC on non-automatic weighing
instruments that has been in effect
since January 1, 1993, in the Internal
Market as well as by the Certificate of
Accreditation of the Sartorius AG
Quality Management System issued by
the Metrology Department of the
Regional Administration Office of
Lower Saxony, Germany (“Niedersäch-
sisches Landesverwaltungsamt
-Eichwesen”) on February 15, 1993.
