vi  EMC Installation Guideline – Planning Guide (EMV) – 03.2004 Edition 
These guidelines also describe the necessary measures according to the 
European Union (EU) directives for compliance with the EMC law or the EMC 
guidelines.  
 
In installation locations with extremely high interference levels, malfunctions can be 
caused despite compliance with these EMC Guidelines, although it is very unlikely. 
 
What prior knowledge is required? 
Apart from these EMC Guidelines, international and country-specific safety 
regulations continue to apply. 
 
Good knowledge of the relevant standards and EU regulations is necessary, so 
that the safety concerns are not impaired when implementing these EMC 
Guidelines. The implementation of these EMC Guidelines must be performed by 
qualified personnel. 
 
Qualified personnel 
All persons who are entrusted with the installation, assembly, commissioning and 
operation of the product and who possess the necessary qualifications are to be 
considered to be qualified personnel. 
 
The authorization to connect circuits and devices in accordance with the approved 
standards of electrical engineering, to bring them into operation and to remove 
them from operation applies as a particular qualification.
