What EU Directives apply to a fuel cell power system that is both a machine (pumps, fans, blowers, motors, and sometimes other moving parts) and electrical equipment?

Applicable EU Directives frequently include the following:

·        Low Voltage - 2014/35/EU

·        Machinery - 2006/42/EC

·        Electromagnetic Compatibility - 2014/30/EU, EMC

·        Pressure Equipment - 2014/67/EU

·        Restriction of Hazardous Substances - 2011/65/EU

Specific requirements for compliance and those Directives that must be listed in the Declaration of Conformity are dictated by the authority having jurisdiction. In any case, compliance with the applicable standards for the machinery, pressure parts and electrical equipment is necessary to assure a safe system.
