7.1 Electro-magnetic compatibility 
(EMC) All manufacturers / assemblers of electrical apparatus which “performs a 
complete intrinsic function and is placed on the market as a single unit intended for 
the end user” must comply with the EMC directive 89/336/EEC.  
There are three routes for the manufacturer/assembler to demonstrate compliance: 
7.1.1 Self-certification 
This is a manufacturer's declaration that the European standards applicable to the 
electrical environment for which the apparatus is intended have been met. Only 
standards that have been officially published in the Official Journal of the European 
Community can be cited in the manufacturer's declaration. 
7.1.2  Technical construction file 
A technical construction file can be prepared for the apparatus describing its EMC 
characteristics. This file must be approved by a ‘Competent Body’ appointed by the 
appropriate European government organization. This approach allows the use of 
standards that are still in preparation. 
7.1.3  EC type examination certificate 
This approach is only applicable to radio communication transmitting apparatus. All 
MICROMASTER 440 units are certified for compliance with the EMC directive. 
when installed in accordance with the recommendations in Section 2.
