2.1.1 CE Conformity and Labelling
What is CE Conformity and Labelling?
The purpose of CE labelling is to avoid technical trade obstacles within EFTA and the EU. The EU has introduced the CE label as a simple way of showing whether
a product complies with the relevant EU directives. The CE label says nothing about the specifications or quality of the product. Frequency converters are regulated
by three EU directives:
The low-voltage directive (73/23/EEC)
Frequency converters must be CE labelled in accordance with the low-voltage directive of January 1, 1997. The directive applies to all electrical equipment and
appliances used in the 50 - 1000 V AC and the 75 - 1500 V DC voltage ranges. GE CE-labels in accordance with the directive and issues a declaration of conformity
upon request.
