Appendix 5
Since 1996, the products released in Europe has been legally required to comply with the EMC Directive of the EU directives.
And since 1997, the products has been legally required to comply with the Low Voltage Directive of the EU directives.
When the manufacturer recognizes that the product conforms with these directives, the manufacturer must make a
declaration of conformity and display the "CE mark" on the product.

Requirements for compliance with EMC Directive
The EMC Directive specifies about the following items:
• "Emission (electromagnetic interference): Do not emit strong electromagnetic waves to the outside", and
• "Immunity (electromagnetic sensitivity): Not affected by external electromagnetic waves".
This chapter describes the precautions when the machinery configured using MELSEC iQ-R series modules complies with
the EMC Directive.
This chapter is created based on the requirements and standards of directives that our company has obtained, which does not
guarantee that all machinery manufactured according to this content complies with the above directives.
The manufacturer of machinery must define the conformity assessment procedures and assess the conformance for the EMC
Directive.

Test item
CISPR16-2-3
Radiated emission
CISPR16-2-1, CISPR16-1-2
Radiated emission
*1 A programmable controller is an open-type device (built-in device of the other equipment) and requires to install in the conductive control
panel. Therefore, this test was performed on the products in the control panel. A programmable controller was tested with the maximum
rated input value of power supply module to use.
