COMPLIANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVES
1. WHAT ARE EC DIRECTIVES?
The EC directives were issued to standardize the regulations of the EU countries and ensure smooth
distribution of safety-guaranteed products. In the EU countries, the machinery directive (effective in
January, 1995), EMC directive (effective in January, 1996) and low voltage directive (effective in January,
1997) of the EC directives require that products to be sold should meet their fundamental safety
requirements and carry the CE marks (CE marking). CE marking applies to machines and equipment
into which servo (MELSERVO-J2M is contained) have been installed.
(1) EMC directive
The EMC directive applies not to the servo units alone but to servo-incorporated machines and
equipment. This requires the EMC filters to be used with the servo-incorporated machines and
equipment to comply with the EMC directive. For specific EMC directive conforming methods, refer to
the EMC Installation Guidelines (IB(NA)67310).
(2) Low voltage directive
The low voltage directive applies also to MELSERVO-J2M. Hence, they are designed to comply with
the low voltage directive.
MELSERVO-J2M is certified by TUV, third-party assessment organization, to comply with the low
voltage directive.
The MELSERVO-J2M complies with EN50178.
(3) Machine directive
Not being machines, MELSERVO-J2M need not comply with this directive.
