EC declaration
EC declaration can be found in the
Safety information appended to
the product. The declaration states
responsible manufacturer and shows
European product directives and
harmonized standards.
European product directives – This
is the European Union product
legislation. The directives contain high
(and low) level requirements on the
product and procedures that relate to
the product during its life-cycle. The
requirements mainly concerns safety.
The directives applicable to STR are:
2006/42/EC – The machinery directive
2004/108/EC – The EMC directive
(ElectroMagnetic Compatibility)
1994/9/EC- The ATEX directive (Explosive Atmosphere)
Harmonized standards
The directives set out high level product requirements. These may be
difficult to interpret. A harmonized standard is generally a safety standard
that has been approved by the European Union authorities as compliant
with a product directive. In practice, the standards are used as the means for
complying with the law. E.g.
EN 61010-1:2010 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for
measurement, control and laboratory use - Part 1: General requirements.
EN 61000-6-2:2005 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 6-2: Generic
standards - Immunity for industrial environments.
En 61326-1:2006 Electrical equipment for measurement, control and
laboratory use- EMC requirements Part 1: General requirements.
Other directives
The EC declaration concerns directives required for CE marking. However,
there is more legislation that needs to be considered. E.g.
Information concerning Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) - This
product and its information, meets the requirements of the RoHS Directive
(2011/65/EU).
Information concerning Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
- This product and its information, meets the requirements of the WEEE
Directive (2012/19/EU), and must be handled according to the directive.
IP 54 protection
The STR tools are certified for IP protection level 54. The level of protection
will prevent foreign particles and fluids from entering the tool. This will make
the tool more durable than previous generations, due to less contamination
of internal parts.
IP54 – The first number marks the protection level for dust. Level 5 = “Ingress
of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity
to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete
protection against contact (dust proof)”. The second number states the
protection level for water intrusion. Level 4 = “Water splashing against the
enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect”.
Note! ETT and ETP STR tools are not IP tested and do not meet IP54
requirement.
Service/Maintenance Intervals
Overhaul and preventive maintenance is recommended at regular intervals
once per year or after maximum 250.000 tightening depending on which
comes first. More frequent overhaul may be needed if the machine is used
in heavy-duty operations.
