Agency compliance
Electromagnetic interference standards
The European Union’s Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive, 89/336/EEC, is the sole Direc-
tive developed to address electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues in electronic equipment. In particu-
lar, the Directive calls out European Norm (EN) documents that define the emission and immunity
standards for specific product categories. For Series 48 lasers, EN 55011 (CISPR:11) defines radiated and
conducted RF emission limits while the generic Standard and EN 50082-1 define immunity requirements
published by the International Electromechanical Commission (IEC).
SYNRAD’s Series 48 lasers have demonstrated performance characteristics that have met or exceeded
the requirements of EMC Directive 89/336/EEC.
When integrating SYNRAD’s Series 48 OEM lasers, the Buyer and/or integrator of the end system is
responsible for meeting all applicable Standards to obtain the CE mark. To aid this compliance process,
SYNRAD’s testing program has demonstrated that Series 48 lasers comply with the relevant require-
ments of 89/336/EEC, the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive, as summarized in Table 2 below.

Applicable Standards/Norms
89/336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive

After a laser or laser processing system has met the requirements of all applicable EU Directives, the
product can bear the official compliance mark of the European Union as shown in Figure 4 and a
Declaration of Conformity is provided for the compliant component.
