Disposal The drive contains raw materials that should be recycled to preserve energy and natural
resources. The package materials are environmentally compatible and recyclable. All
metal parts can be recycled. The plastic parts can either be recycled or burned under
controlled circumstances, according to local regulations. Most recyclable parts are marked
with recycling marks.
If recycling is not feasible, all parts excluding electrolytic capacitors and printed circuit
boards can be landfilled. The DC capacitors contain electrolyte, which is classified as
hazardous waste within the EU. They must be removed and handled according to local
regulations.
For further information on environmental aspects and more detailed recycling instructions,
please contact your local ABB distributor.

CE marking
See the type designation label for the valid markings of your drive.
A CE mark is attached to the drive to verify that the drive follows the provisions of the European Low
Voltage and EMC Directives.
Compliance with the European EMC Directive
The EMC Directive defines the requirements for immunity and emissions of electrical equipment used
within the European Union. The EMC product standard (EN 61800-3:2004) covers requirements stated
for drives. See section Compliance with the EN 61800-3:2004 on page 148.

Definitions
EMC stands for Electromagnetic Compatibility. It is the ability of electrical/electronic equipment to
operate without problems within an electromagnetic environment. Likewise, the equipment must not
disturb or interfere with any other product or system within its locality.
First environment includes establishments connected to a low-voltage network which supplies buildings
used for domestic purposes.
Second environment includes establishments connected to a network not directly supplying domestic
premises.
Drive of category C1: drive of rated voltage less than 1000 V, intended for use in the first environment.
Drive of category C2: drive of rated voltage less than 1000 V and intended to be installed and
commissioned only by a professional when used in the first environment.
Note: A professional is a person or organization having necessary skills in installing and/or
commissioning power drive systems, including their EMC aspects.
