This Directive repeals 89/336/EEC on July 20, 2007.
The transitional provisions state that equipment complying with the provisions of the original EMC Directive, 89/336/EEC, and placed on the market before July 20, 2009 is considered compliant.
The demonstration of non-compliant equipment at trade fairs or other exhibitions is specifically authorized, so long as the equipment is accompanied by a visible statement that it is non-compliant and not to be placed on the market until it is made compliant. Further, precautions must be taken to avoid causing electromagnetic disturbances. This is a welcome clarification.
The definition of apparatus has been refined. Basically, it is a finished product provided to an end user that is liable to generate or be affected by electromagnetic disturbance. This can include sub-assemblies intended for end-user installation.
Technical documentation supporting compliance is required and must be retained for ten years after the last date of manufacture.
The definition and rules applicable to installations are clearer. An installation is a combination of apparatus intended for use at a particular location. The key issue for an installation is not CE marking or specific standards-related performance; rather, it is compliance with the essential requirements of non-interference and immunity using good engineering practice. Documentation as to how the requirements have been met —engineering analyses or test results—have to be kept created and maintained.
The role of the “technical construction file,” or TCF, has changed. In the original Directive, “competent bodies” were to be consulted and to review a TCF in the event a product was not covered by harmonized standards. Under the new Directive, this is no longer the case. The new Directive renames these bodies “notified bodies,” and their use is purely voluntary. If a manufacturer wishes to have his compliance documentation reviewed by a notified body, he is free to do so, but it is not necessary; further, there is no compulsory use of the notified bodies when the existing harmonized standards do not fully cover a particular piece of equipment.
