Q&A(FAQ) What is CE Marking?
Products such as machinery and electrical equipment sold within the EU must display the CE marking, which indicates compliance with safety, quality, and environmental protection requirements. To apply the CE marking, products must conform to the applicable EC Directives.
The main directives generally applied to machinery and related electrical equipment are as follows:
(1) Machinery Directive(MD)
This directive applies to products that include moving parts, mainly industrial machinery.
<Examples of applicable products>
Machine tools, injection molding machines, automated equipment, construction machinery
Our products are certified to EN62368-1 and EN50178, which serve as safety indicators even when integrated into machinery.
However, since a power supply itself does not fall under the Machinery Directive, we do not issue a Declaration of Conformity for this directive.
(2) EMC Directive
This directive applies to equipment that may cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) or be affected by electromagnetic disturbances.
Two categories are required:
- -Emission (EMI: Electromagnetic Interference)
- -Immunity (EMS: Electromagnetic Susceptibility)
<Examples of applicable products>
Consumer electronics (radios, TVs), motors, power tools, NC equipment, industrial robot controllers, amateur radio devices, mobile phones, personal computers, etc.
The EMC Directive requires evaluation at the final equipment level.
Therefore, we do not issue a Declaration of Conformity for the EMC Directive.
However, EMI/EMS test data for our products is available on our website for reference.
(3) Low Voltage Directive (LVD)
This directive applies to products operating within:
- -AC 50–1000 V
- -DC 75–1500 V
<Examples of applicable products>
Personal computers, keyboards, office equipment such as copiers
For our products, we prepare a Declaration of Conformity for the Low Voltage Directive.
(4) RoHS Directive
This directive restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
We have prepared the necessary RoHS compliance declarations for our products.
