Conformity to Standards
The Telemecanique D-Line, F-line, and K-line contactors, overload relays and accessories satisfy most
national, European, and international standards for promoting worldwide product acceptance. These
product standards precisely define the performance of the designated products (such as IEC 60947 for
low voltage equipment).
When used correctly, as designated by the manufacturer and in accordance with the regulations and
rules of the art, these products will allow assembled equipment, machine systems or installations to
conform to their appropriate standards (for example: IEC 60204, relating to electrical equipment used
on industrial machines).
Telemecanique is able to provide proof of conformity of its production, in accordance with the standards
selected by ourselves, due to our quality assurance system. On request, and depending on the situation,
Telemecanique can provide the following:
• A declaration of conformity.
• A certificate of conformity (ASEFA/LOVAG).
• An approval certificate or agreement, in the countries where this procedure is required or for
particular specifications, such as those existing in the merchant marine.

European EN Standards
This is a group of technical specifications established in conjunction with, and approval of, the relative
bodies within the various CENELEC member countries (EEC and EFTA). Arrived at by the principal of
consensus, the European standards are the result of a majority vote. Such adopted standards are then
integrated into the national collection of standards, and contradictory national standards are withdrawn.
The European standards are now incorporated within the French standards and carry the prefix NF EN.
Under the “Technical Union of Electricity” (UTE), the French version of the corresponding European
standard carries a double notation: European reference (NF EN …) and classification (C …).
In addition, the standard NF EN 60947-4-1 relating to motor contactors and starters, effectively
constitutes the French version of the European standard EN 60947-4-1 and carries the UTE
classification C 63-110. This standard is identical to the British standard BS EN 60947-4-1 and the
German standard DIN VDE 0660 Teil 102. Whenever reasonably practical, European standards reflect
international standards (IEC).
For automation system components and distribution equipment, Telemecanique supplements the
requirements of the French NF standards with those necessary for all other major industrial countries.
European Directives
The opening of the European market assumes a harmonization of the regulations pertaining to each
member country of the European Community. The purpose of the European Directive is the elimination
of obstacles hindering the free circulation of goods within the European Community, and its application
applies to each member country.
Member countries are obliged to transcribe each Directive into their national legislation and to
simultaneously withdraw any contradictory regulation. The Directives, in particular those of a technical
content concerning us here, only establish the objectives to be obtained and are referred to as “essential
requirements.”

Technical Information: Product Standards
The manufacturer is obliged to ensure that all measures are taken to provide conformity to the
regulations of the particular Directive applicable to his product. As a general rule, the manufacturer
certifies conformity to the essential requirements of the Directive(s) for the product by affixing a CE
marking. The CE marking will be affixed to Telemecanique products progressively throughout the
transition period, as defined by the French and European regulations.
Significance of the CE marking:
• The CE marking is affixed to a product to signify that the manufacturer certifies that the product
conforms to the relevant European Directive(s) and is obligatory for a product, subject to one or more
of the European Directives, before it can be freely distributed within the European Community.
• The CE marking is intended solely for national market control authorities.
• The CE marking must not be confused with a conformity marking.
For electrical equipment, only conformity to standards signifies that the product is suitable for its
designated function, and only the guarantee of an established manufacturer can provide a high level of
quality assurance. For Telemecanique labelled products, one or several Directives are liable to be
applied, in particular:
• The Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC amended by the Directive 93/68/EEC: the CE marking relating
to this Directive could not be affixed before 1 January 1995 but was obligatory as of January 1, 1997.
• The Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC, amended by the Directives 92/31/EEC and
93/68/EEC: the CE marking on products covered by this Directive is obligatory from 1 January 1996.
ASEFA-LOVAG Certification
The function of ASEFA (Association des Stations d'Essais Française d'Appareils électriques —
Association of French Testing Stations for Low Voltage Industrial Electrical Equipment) is to carry out
tests for conformity to standards and to issue certificates and test reports. ASEFA laboratories are
authorized by the National Testing Network (RNE).
ASEFA is now effectively a member of the European accord group LOVAG (Low Voltage Agreement
Group). This means that any certificates issued by LOVAG/ASEFA are recognized by all the authorities
forming the membership of the group and carry the same validity as those issued by any of the member
authorities.
Quality Labels
When components can be used in domestic and similar applications, it is sometimes necessary to
obtain a “quality label,” which is a form of certification of conformity.

Approvals
In some countries, the approval of certain electrical equipment is required by law. In this case, an
approval certificate is issued by the official test authority. Each approved component must bear the
relevant quality label when this is mandatory.
