Requirements for Compliance with EMC Directive

The EMC Directives specifies emission and immunity criteria and
requires the products to meet both of them, i.e., not to emit excessive
electromagnetic interference (emission): to be immune to
electromagnetic interference outside (immunity).
Guidelines for complying the machinery including MELSEC-Q series
programmable controller with the EMC Directives are provided in
Section 3.1.1 to 3.1.8 below.
The guidelines are created based on the requirements of the
regulations and relevant standards, however, they do not guarantee that
the machinery constructed according to them will not comply with the
Directives.
Therefore, the manufacturer of the machinery must finally determine
how to make it comply with the EMC Directives: if it is actually compliant
with the EMC Directives.
