Sartorius Signum 1 Operating Instruction

104
In 1985, the Council of the European
Community approved a resolution con-
cerning a new approach to the technical
harmonization and standardization of
national regulations. Monitoring compli-
ance with the directives and standards
concerning the 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 technology and provide many years
of trouble-free service.
The C marking is affixed only to weighing
instruments and associated equipment that
comply with the following Directives:
Council Directive 89/336/EEC:
“Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)”
Applicable European Standards:
1. Electromagnetic compatibility:
1.1 Reference to 89/336/EEC:

Note:
The operator shall be responsible for
any modifications to Sartorius equipment
(not permitted in legal metrology!) and
for any connections of cables or equip-
ment not supplied by Sartorius and
must check and, if necessary, correct
these modifications and connections.
On request, Sartorius will provide

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 tech-
nology 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 condi-
tions 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: Council Directive
90/384/EEC “Non-automatic weighing
instruments”
This Directive regulates the determina-
tion of mass in legal metrology.
The Declaration of Type Conformity for
weighing instruments verified by
Sartorius for use as legal measuring
instruments that have an EC Type-
Approval Certificate is included with the
respective documentation as follows:
– Signum Scale: this manual
– Sartorius weighing module
(e.g., IS…-CE) connected to Signum:
weighing module manual
This Directive also regulates EC verifica-
tion by the manufacturer, provided that
an EC Type-Approval Certificate has
been issued and the manufacturer has
been accredited by an officer of a Noti-
fied Body registered at the Commission
of the European Community for per-
forming such verification. The legal
basis for EC verification is EC Directive
No. 90/384/EEC for non-automatic
weighing instruments, which has been
in effect since January 1, 1993, within
the Single European Market, as well as
the accreditation of the Quality Man-
agement System of Sartorius AG by the
Niedersächsische Mess- und Eichwesen,
MEN, from February 15, 1993.
Only for equipment with Option Y2:
94/9/EC “Electrical equipment and pro-
tective systems intended for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres”
Applicable European Standards:
EN 50014 General requirements
EN 50021 Type of protection “n” *
EN 50281-1-1 Electrical apparatus for use
in the presence of combustible dust
Part 1-1:
Electrical apparatus protected by enclo-
sures – Construction and testing
(see Declaration of Conformity included
in this instruction manual)
* This standard was replaced by EN 60079-
15 “Construction, test and marking of type
of protection “n" electrical apparatus”; the
equipment described in this manual also
meets the relevant requirements of this
European Standard.
If you use this electrical equipment in
installations and under ambient conditions
requiring higher safety standards, you
must comply with the provisions as speci-
fied in the applicable regulations for
installation in your country.
“EC Verification” –
A Service Offered by Sartorius
Our service technicians authorized to
perform the verification* of your weighing
instruments that are acceptable for legal
metrological verification can inspect and
verify the metrological specifications at the
place of installation within the Member
States of the European Union and the
Signatories of the Agreement on the
European Economic Area.
Subsequent Verifications within
the European Countries
The validity of the verification will become
void in accordance with the national
regulations of the country in which the
weighing instrument is used. For informa-
tion on verification and legal regulations
currently applicable in your country, and
to obtain the names of the persons to
contact, please contact your local Sartorius
office, dealer or service center. For more
information on the verification of weigh-
ing instruments for use in legal metrology,
