Description

The EMC Directive defines equipment as any apparatus or fixed
installation. As there are separate provisions for apparatus and
fixed installations, it is important that the correct category of the
equipment is determined.
In technical-commercial classifications the following terminology is frequently used: components, sub-assemblies, finished
appliances (ie, finished products), a combination of finished
appliances (ie, a system), apparatus, fixed installations and
equipment.
The key issue here is whether the item to be considered is for
end users or not:
– If it is meant for end users, the EMC directive applies
– If it is meant for manufacturers or assemblers, the EMC directive does not apply
Components or subassemblies intended for incorporation into an
apparatus by the end users
A manufacturer may place components or sub-assemblies on
the market which are:
– For incorporation into an apparatus by the end-user,
– Available to end users and likely to be used by them.
These components or sub-assemblies are to be considered as
apparatus with regard to the application of the EMC. The instructions for use accompanying the component or sub-assembly
should include all relevant information, and should assume that
adjustments or connections can be performed by an end-user
not aware of the EMC implications.
Some variable speed power drive products fall into this category,
eg, a drive with enclosure and sold as a complete unit (CDM) to
the enduser who installs it into his own system. All provisions of
the EMC Directive will apply (CE mark, Declaration of conformity
and technical documentation).
