Description
Actions you must take
The following needs to be completed by either the end-user
directly or the third party engaged to build the machine.
1. To meet the Machinery Directive (refer to page 55) you need
to follow the actions listed for a machine builder on pages
25-28.
2. Follow installation instruction issued by manufacturers in order
to fulfill the requirements of the EMC Directive and the Low
Voltage Directive.
3. Ensure that equipment (CDM/BDM/PDS) is operated according
to manufacturer’s instruction in order to guarentee right way
of operation.
If you are a panel builder buying a CDM/ BDM
…You have the following responsibilities:
1. The panel builder has two options:
Option A – To buy non- CE marked components
This could save the panel builder money because he buys
components which are not tested for EMC or safety. However,
the responsibility is then the panel builder’s and this will incur
considerable costs as the entire panel needs to be tested.
If the panel builder buys non-CE marked components, the
drive may be made to conform without further testing if the
components themselves have been tested. However, tested
components do not carry the CE mark but must carry suitable
instructions for installation. It is these instructions which must
be demonstrably met.
Option A – Actions to meet these responsibilities
1. Follow the installation guidelines issued by each of
the component suppliers.
2. Optimise the construction of the installation to ensure
the design meets the required EMC behaviour, ie, the
location of filters.
3. Issue technical documentation for the system.
