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 EN 61800-
3:2004 below.
Compliance with the European RoHS Directive
The RoHS Directive defines the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in
electrical and electronic equipment.
Compliance with the European Machinery Directive
The drive is an electronic product which is covered by the European Low Voltage
Directive. However, the drive includes the Safe torque off function and can be equipped
with other safety functions for machinery which, as safety components, are in the scope of
the Machinery Directive. These functions of the drive comply with European harmonized
standards such as EN 61800-5-2.
