CE symbol and manufacturer’s declaration as per EC directive

In accordance with the EC directive, a CE symbol must be attached to all electrically driven machinery, devices, and systems manufactured, imported, and sold within 
the European Union.

The EC directive includes the following individual directives relevant for users of motors.

1. Machine directive
This directive applies to independently functional machinery or the interlinking of machines to form entire systems. However, it does not apply to machine components, for example electric control units or electric motors which have no independent function. The complete machine and plant must always fulfil the directive.

2. Low-voltage directive
This directive must be applied to all electric motors from a nominal voltage limit of 75 V DC and 50 V AC and greater. Since the electric motors listed in this catalog are designed for nominal voltages of up to 24 V, they must also comply with this directive.

3. EMC directive
This directive applies to all electric and electronic devices, plants, and systems. However, this directive also applies to complex components such as electric motors, but only if they are freely available to the general public. The electric motors listed in this catalog are supplied exclusively as supplier and replacement parts and, as per § 5 Section 5 of the EMC Law, do not have to bear the CE symbol.

The limit values for the routing and emission of high-frequency interference are defined in EN 55 014 of the EMC law.

For the above-mentioned reasons, Bosch electric motors never have to bear the CE symbol.
