Siemens 420 Electro-magnetic compatibility EMC, Self-certification, Technical construction file

7 Electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC) Issue 07/04

7.1Electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC)

All manufacturers / assemblers of electrical apparatus which "performs a complete intrinsic function and is placed on the market as a single unit intended for the end user” must comply with the EMC directive 89/336/EEC.

There are three routes for the manufacturer/assembler to demonstrate compliance:

7.1.1Self-certification

This is a manufacturer's declaration that the European standards applicable to the electrical environment for which the apparatus is intended have been met. Only standards that have been officially published in the Official Journal of the European Community can be cited in the manufacturer's declaration.

7.1.2Technical construction file

A technical construction file can be prepared for the apparatus describing its EMC characteristics. This file must be approved by a ‘Competent Body’ appointed by the appropriate European government organization. This approach allows the use of standards that are still in preparation.

7.1.3EC type examination certificate

This approach is only applicable to radio communication transmitting apparatus. All MICROMASTER units are certified for compliance with the EMC directive, when installed in accordance with the recommendations in Section 2.
