7 Notes on t he C E le gislati on

We have two directives about electronic devices, regarding the WHC: the 2006/42/CE (machine directive) about safety use of the
devices and 2004/108/CE about electromagnetic compatibility.
About the first (machine directive), electric/electronic devices must complies the Union harmonisation legislation (Low Voltage
Directive), Directive 2006/95/EC (until April 19th, 2016) and Directive 2014/35/EU (from April 20th, 2016) but it can be applied on
devices supplied at 50-1000Vac or 75-1500Vdc WHC works at a voltage of 24Vdc (thus Intrinsically “safe”), so it belongs to "very
low voltage" devices (class 0 legislation CEI 11.1), on which it isn't no legislation about.

On electromagnetic compatibility, regarding the Union harmonisation legislation Directive 2004/108/CE (until April 20th, 2016)
and Directive 2014/30/EU (from April 20th, 2016), the device can be considered inherently benign in terms of
electromagnetic compatibility because its inherent physical characteristics are such that:
a) it is incapable of generating or contributing to electromagnetic emissions which exceed a level allowing
radio and
telecommunications equipment and other equipment to operate as intended;
b) it will operate without unacceptable degradation in the presence of the electromagnetic disturbance
normally present in its intended environment
Moreover, this device cannot be classified as a "finished appliance with an independent functionality", due the
WHC haven’t any use outside a complex electromechanics system, the machine electric board, made by a manufacturer in an
industrial ambit and not by a final user.
Thus, it hasn’t any certification duty.

PROMAX however, can institute some specific measure as a pre-compliance, in case of particular demands of costumers, regarding
the device electromagnetic characterization.
For example, can be made some measure under the CEI EN 61000-6-1 norm (2007 generic norms – residential, commercial and
light industrial ambient immunity) or CEI EN 61000-6-1 (2007 generic norms - residential, commercial and light industrial ambient
emission)
