EMC Directive
The EMC Directive stipulates that product must
meet the limits radiated electromagnetic distur-
bance and also requires that product must be
immune electromagnetic interference.
The original intention this mark was support
the authorities the member states their
market supervision, with the mark acting sym-
bol free movement products within the EU.

CE Conformity Marking
The conformity marking consists the
characters “CE” with the following script:
Communauté Européenne
(European Community)
.
Here, building products are defined products or
construction sets which are produced built
permanently into structures and which make sig-
nificant contribution fulfilling the basic require-
ments for the structure.
Significance Mark for WAGO Products
One, several none the Directives may
apply the various WAGO products. Machinery Directive
The Machinery Directive applies machines
(complete incomplete) which perform their func-
tions means other than direct human animal
work, safety components for these types of
machines. Construction Products Regulation
The Construction Products Regulation demands
that structures designed and constructed such
that the safety humans, property and animals is
not endangered and that all applicable environ-
mental protection requirements considered.
2. Suitability WAGO prod-
ucts for the different groups and zones outlined
in the specific product documents (catalogs, Inter-
net site, data sheets and product inserts).
The data sheets the technically sound products
that, according the regulations, are not CE
marked will refer the standards used the
development and type and manufacturing testing
wherever possible. Details about the
materials used WAGO are available our cata-
logs, our product packaging and our Web
page. none the
directives apply, the marking will not affixed
to the product, line with applicable laws.com

Technical Information
CE Marking and Directives
WAGO Kontakttechnik GmbH Co. This
directive regulates the use hazardous sub-
stances electrical devices and components, with
the aim reducing the quantity problematic
components electrical waste.
Products falling within the scope the Low Volt-
age Directive that are designed such way that
they can used other electrical devices, and
whose safety, for the most part, dependant on
how these components were built into the end
product and what features the end product has,
are defined basic components accordance
with the Low Voltage Directive. All other products are provided with the CE
mark either directly the product, its pack-
aging the documents included with the prod-
uct and declaration conformity issued, or
made accessible the customer. number products from
WAGO are designed for use hazardous areas. The basic safety requirements apply to
the protection health for humans and animals
and electrical safety line with the Low Voltage
Directive, but without the application the voltage
limit.
Only the basic requirements for achieving the
defined aim the directive are laid out each
respective directive.2
www. Low Voltage Directive (LVD)
The safety electrical equipment guaranteed
by the Low Voltage Directive (LVD).
Based potential hazards, the ATEX Directive
makes distinction between three different equip-
ment groups, which Group and III are subdi-
vided into further zones. Further-
more, declaration conformity must not be
issued. Such components
include rail-mount terminal blocks for use haz-
ardous areas. Examples such directives are the Low
Voltage Directive, the EMC Directive, the ATEX
Directive, the Building Products Directive and the
Machinery Directive. products
are developed, tested and marked accordance
with legally valid international standards and laws.
The RoHS Directive also applies electrical equip-
ment covered the Low Voltage Directive.
Products both groups must comply with the
ATEX Directive. The individual technical
details are specified according the New
Approach using lists with cross references to
applicable standards (so-called harmonized stan-
dards).
The mark applied products intended for
the European domestic market; with it, manufactur-
ers declare that the marked electrical equipment
conforms with the applicable requirements set out
in the Community harmonization legislation (EU
Directives), which allows such equipment carry
this mark. ATEX Directive Explosion Protection
The ATEX Directive defines the rules for products
(devices and protective systems) intended for use
in hazardous locations.
Therefore, this directive usually does not apply to
WAGO products.

The manufacturers machines systems are
required this directive use safe products and
components their machines and systems.
6.
According Directive 765/2008, product can
only given the mark the product require-
ments are defined least one appropriate EU
directive. The LVD cov-
ers all electrical equipment operating with volt-
age between VAC and 1000 VAC and between
75 VDC and 1500 VDC.
The LVD doesn’t apply basic components.
In the unanimous opinion expressed the Ger-
man electrical industry, including WAGO Kon-
takttechnik GmbH Co. addition, the EMC protection goals the
EMC Directive must also fulfilled and efficient
use radio frequencies ensured.wago.
These may either devices that can used as
equipment these types areas, components
that are required for safe operation, but which do
not fulfill dedicated function.
Electromagnetic passive components compo-
nents with direct function, such terminal
blocks, resistors, diodes, capacitors, switching
relays cables (in the form passive printed cir-
cuit boards) are not considered apparatus within
the meaning the EMC Directive.
1. KG, products used gen-
eral installation technology are not included among
these types building products and are therefore
not covered this directive.
3. Radio Communications Directive
The Radio Communications Directive applies all
devices that properly transmit receive radio
waves for wireless communications and/or radio
orientation. more than one directive
applies product, the product must comply with
all applicable directives. Direc-
tive-compliant production and safe operation is
facilitated the use WAGO products, with their
standard-compliant, up-to-date design. WAGO products
covered the Radio Communications Directive
indicate, compliance with applicable laws, only
the Radio Communication Directive their EU

Voltage Directive and the EMC Directive is
