Product classification

Limit switches

Note: Refer to the page for each individual product for detailed approval conditions and approved types. Moreover, the HL limit

switch alone does not display the CE mark as standard. If the CE mark is necessary, add (CE) to the end of the part No.

when ordering.

What are EN standards?

An abbreviation of Norme Europeenne

(in French), and called European

Standards in English. Approval is by vote

among the CEN/CENELEC member

countries, and is a unified standards lim-

ited to EU member countries, but the

contents conform to the international

ISO/IEC standards.

If the relevant EN standard does not

exist, it is necessary to obtain approval

based on the relevant IEC standard or, if

the relevant IEC standard does not exist,

the relevant standard from each country,

such as VDE, BS, SEMKO, and so forth.

CE markings and EC

directives

The world’s largest single market, the

European Community (EC) was born on

1 January 1993 (changing its name to

EU in November 1993. It is now always

expressed as EU, apart from EC direc-

tives.) EU member country products

have always had their quality and safety

guaranteed according to the individual

standards of each member country.

However, the standards of each country

being different prevented the free flow of

goods within the EU. For this reason, in

order to eliminate non-tariff barriers due

to these standards, and to maximize the

merits of EU unification, the EC direc-

tives were issued concomitant to the

birth of the EU.

The EN standards were established as

universal EU standards in order to facili-

tate EU directives. These standards

were merged with the international IEC

standards and henceforth reflect the

standards in all countries. Also, the CE

markings show that products conform to

EC directives, and guarantee the free

flow of products within the EC.

Appropriate EC directives

for control equipment

products

The main EC directives that are to do

with machinery and electrical equipment

are the machinery directive, the EMC

directive, the low voltage directive, and

the telecom directive. Although these

directives have already been issued, the

date of their enactment is different for

each one. The machinery directive was 1

January 1995. The EMC directive was 1

January 1996, and the low voltage direc-

tive was enacted from 1 January 1997.

The telecom directive was established by

the separate CTR (Common Technology

references.)
