5. ATEX Directive Explosion Protection
The ATEX Directive defines the rules for products
(devices and protective systems) intended for use
in hazardous locations.
The RoHS Directive also applies electrical equip-
ment covered the Low Voltage Directive. Further-
more, declaration conformity must not be
issued.wago.
In the unanimous opinion expressed the Ger-
man electrical industry, including WAGO Kon-
takttechnik GmbH Co.
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. Examples such directives are the Low
Voltage Directive, the EMC Directive, the ATEX
Directive, the Building Products Directive and the
Machinery Directive. addition, the EMC protection goals the
EMC Directive must also fulfilled and efficient
use radio frequencies ensured. number products from
WAGO are designed for use hazardous areas.
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. The LVD cov-
ers all electrical equipment operating with volt-
age between VAC and 1000 VAC and between
75 VDC and 1500 VDC. 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). Direc-
tive-compliant production and safe operation is
facilitated the use WAGO products, with their
standard-compliant, up-to-date design. 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.

CE Conformity Marking
The conformity marking consists the
characters “CE” with the following script:
Communauté Européenne
(European Community)
. The individual technical
details are specified according the New
Approach using lists with cross references to
applicable standards (so-called harmonized stan-
dards).
Only the basic requirements for achieving the
defined aim the directive are laid out each
respective directive.com

Therefore, this directive usually does not apply to
WAGO products. Details about the
materials used WAGO are available our cata-
logs, our product packaging and our Web
page.
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. 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. Such components
include rail-mount terminal blocks for use haz-
ardous areas. 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.
The manufacturers machines systems are
required this directive use safe products and
components their machines and systems.
Based potential hazards, the ATEX Directive
makes distinction between three different equip-
ment groups, which Group and III are subdi-
vided into further zones. products
are developed, tested and marked accordance
with legally valid international standards and laws.

According Directive 765/2008, product can

ments are defined least one appropriate EU

The LVD doesn’t apply basic components. Radio Communications Directive
The Radio Communications Directive applies all
devices that properly transmit receive radio
waves for wireless communications and/or radio
orientation. This
directive regulates the use hazardous sub-
stances electrical devices and components, with
the aim reducing the quantity problematic
components electrical waste. KG, products used gen-
eral installation technology are not included among
these types building products and are therefore
not covered this directive.
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.
Significance Mark for WAGO Products
One, several none the Directives may
apply the various WAGO products.
Products both groups must comply with the
ATEX Directive. 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. Machinery Directive
The Machinery Directive applies machines

tions means other than direct human animal
work, safety components for these types of
machines.
Electromagnetic passive components compo-
nents with direct function, such terminal
blocks, resistors, diodes, capacitors, switching

cuit boards) are not considered apparatus within
