CE Wiring Diagrams
CE Wiring Diagrams
(OP)
Hello Gentlemen,
I work for an American Industrial Service firm that builds custom control panels.
I have heard that to CE certify I need to convert our wiring diagrams to a European style. Does anyone know the standard that covers this? Any other standards that you would recommend for an industrial control panel would be helpful also.
Thanks,
Ben Murphy

ccaserta, Would the machinery directive apply to a panel?
RE: CE Wiring Diagrams
Keep in mind that there are at least 12 main standards (not including component standards) that are required to perform a final machinery certification and they all work in conjunction with the Machinery Directive.
Your correct about your colors buzzp, red is called out in EN 60204-1 as AC controls, the rest of the required colors are listed as well. Although your probably using IEC 60947-5 for your European standard to conform to the Low Voltage Directive.

Example: There are computers for both Office and Industrial applications, Both CE Marked. A machine manufacture wants a PC that will control his system. The office computer will provide the function as well as the Indutrial PC. If I use the office PC, I will never pass my certification because the machinery directive was not considered. There are no symbologies, E-stops, levels of access codes, it hasn't been tested to the EMC directive correctly so I could fail my final system testing. I don't meet my IP requirements for Enclosures protection. There aren't any hard on/off switches and so on.
I agree the component manufacture is not responsible for the OEM final system. But he should be designing, as I'm sure you do to meet everyones requirements for final appications.
