GE Industrial Solutions EAK guidelines - Manual (Page 6)

the assembley must be a professional one will be considered “Complex Component” (CEMEP Validity
Field no 2) therefore
It is not possible to apply the CE Mark concerning EMC Standard
It is not possible to draw up the Declaration of Conformity regarding EMC Standard
The responsibility of the EMC Standard is of the installer and not of the manufacturer (GE)
The producer (GE) is responsible for giving the installer all the necessary indications to keep the final
product EMC conform.
CE marking and declaration of conformity, as known , are linked with the standard, who are referred. GE’s
products show the mark and, as prescribed, in the handbooks it has been specified how this mark is conformed
to the Low Voltage Directive, for which it has been also drawn up a declaration of conformity (see attachment
A). Whenever the EMC Standard is concerned, the
filters must be utilized and used according to installation
guidelines.
The product standard for the PDS, EN61800 (drawn up in in the part 3 manages the EMC
and describes completely the prescriptions in terms
of
immunity and emissions for PDS.
In this standard it has been assigned the noise-levels to which the equipment must be submitted under the
immunity test and the allowed emission limits.
On the whole the machine manufacturer, or GE customers, belong to the validity field CEMEP number 4 as
“System /apparatus” and therefore they have the obligation of CE Mark and Declaration of Conformity.
The machine manufacturer has the responsability of EMC conformity. They have the right to receive all the
necessary indications (filter, installation, etc.) in order to comply with EMC standard from the single component
producers.
Almost all the products do not have product standard as far as EMC concerns and they have to refer to the
generic standards, which are and 50081-2 as far as emissions in residential and industrial environments
and and regarding the immunity in the above mentioned environments.
These documents, as far as the radio-frequency emissions concern, refer to the specific standard EN55011
which define the emissions limits in industrial environment (class A limits) and residential (class B limits).
This is why, despite the less restrictive limitation imposed by the product standard GE’s product
refer to the limits EN5501 1-A and B, as far as the radio-frequency emissions are concerned.
In the next two sections immunity and emission tests and limitation prescribed in are described.
2. IMMUNITY: ESD AND FAST TRANSIENT (BURST)
The immunity tests which can be applied to a PDS according the are the electrostatic discharges
(ESD) and Fast Transient (or Burst). This standard specifies the test levels and refers to the specific standards,
which are IEC 1000-4-2 and IEC 10004-4-4, in order to describe in detail all the procedures and the test equipment.
