2004/108/EC Background
•
Review of 89/336/EEC as part of the SLIM (Simpler
Legislation for the Internal Market) established a
need to complete, reinforce, and clarify the directive
• Member states adopt and publish laws to comply with
directive by 20 January 2007
• Apply laws adopted by 20 July 2007
• Repeal 89/336/EEC by 20 July 2007
• Not impede market for product complying with
89/336/EEC placed on the market prior to 20 July
2009

Applicability
• Equipment (apparatus & fixed installation)
• Apparatus - Any finished appliance or combination
thereof made commercially available as a single
functional unit
• Component or sub-assemblies intended for incorporation
into an apparatus by the end user
• Mobile installation defined by a combination of apparatus
intended to be moved and operated in a range of
locations
• Fixed installation - A particular combination of
several type of apparatus which are assembled,
installed and intended to be used permanently at a
predefined location
Applicable provisions
From draft Guide for the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC dated 25 09 2006
Essential requirements – Article 5
•
Apparatus
• Electromagnetic disturbances generated do not
exceed level to interfere with operation of radio,
telecommunications or other equipment
• Has a level of immunity to electromagnetic
disturbances expected in it’s intended
environment
•
Fixed installations
• Use good engineering practices with a view to
meeting apparatus requirements. Document
those practices with the documentation on file as
long as installation is in operation.
Conformity assessment – article 7
•
Annex II
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Perform electromagnetic assessment
Evaluate all configurations
Prepare technical documentation
Hold technical documentation 10-years after last manufacture
Attest to compliance by issuing DOC
Hold DOC 10-years after last manufacture
If manufacturer is not established within the Community,
documentation will be held by person placing on the Community
market
• Manufacture according to technical documentation
• Prepare technical documentation & DOC per Annex IV
•
Annex III (Typically used where harmonized standards are not
completely satisfied – e.g., in situ testing)
• Present technical documentation to Notified Body
• Notified Body issues compliance statement
• Include Notified Body statement in the technical documentation
Other markings – article 9
•
Identify type, batch, serial number or any other
information to allow for identification of the apparatus
• Name and address of manufacturer and authorized
representative placing apparatus on market
• Specific precautions associated with assembly,
installation, maintained or used for EMC protection
(e.g., installation instructions, shielded cable use,
etc.)
• Restrictions for residential use appearing on the
apparatus and packaging
• Information required to enable the apparatus to be
used for intended purpose contained in the
accompanying instructions
CE Marking
•
Implementation of the CE Marking:
•
Must be affixed to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Product
Packaging
Instructions for use, OR
Guarantee certificate
Can be used with other marks
providing they do not reduce the
visibility and legibility of the mark
The marking may include:
•
The identification of a notified body
involved in assessment
Product Identification
• Each apparatus to be identified in terms of type,
batch, serial number or other information allowing
identification
• Each apparatus shall be accompanied with
Community contact information
• Information must be provided on specific
precautions for EMC protection (e.g., installation
instructions, shielded cable use, etc.)
• Use restrictions for items where residential
compliance is not ensured
• Information on use for intended purpose included
with the apparatus
Installations
From draft Guide for the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC dated 25 09 2006
Fixed Installations
•
Special section – Article 13
• Applies to a given fixed installation with the
apparatus not commercially available
• CE marking and mandatory pre-testing not
required
• Installation requires application of “good”
engineering practices with documentation of EMC
precautions incorporated
• If EMC problems are indicated, authorities may
request evidence of compliance
• If non-compliance is established, appropriate
measures to attain compliance may be imposed
Conformity assessment
From draft Guide for the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC dated 25 09 2006
Conformity Assessment
• Manufacturer performs an electromagnetic
compatibility assessment applying all relevant
harmonized standards published in OJ
• Manufacturer prepares technical documentation
providing evidence of compliance – retains at least
10-years after date of last manufacture
• Manufacturer prepares a Declaration of
Conformity (DoC)
• The “CE” mark may be placed on the equipment
Non-harmonized/Incomplete
Application of Standards
•
If harmonized standards are not
followed or partially followed:
• Technical documentation is more complex
to justify the DoC describing the steps
taken to meet the essential requirements
• Review by a Notified Body to obtain an
opinion on conformity
• NB opinion adds weight in case of a dispute but
does not solely authenticate the DoC
Technical documentation – Annex IV
•
The technical documentation must enable the
conformity with the essential requirements to be
assessed. It must cover the design and manufacture
in particular. Must contain
• General description of the apparatus
• Evidence of compliance to the standards
• In the case where the harmonized standards are not used
completely, a description of steps taken to assure
compliance with the essential requirements including the
EMC assessment, design calculations, examinations
accomplished, test reports, etc.
• Statement from notified body when used
DOC – Annex IV
•
The EC declaration of conformity must
contain:
• A reference to the applicable directive
• Identification to the apparatus
• Name and address of manufacturer and
authorized Community representative if applicable
• Dated reference to the specifications to which
conformity is declared
• Date of the declaration
• Identity and signature of person empowered to
bind the company
EMC Test Standards

Product specific test standards establish requirements and
typically point to test method standards. Normally include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
