Classification Of The Condensing Units And Of Its Components According To The Eu Directives - Bitzer LHL3E/2EES-2Y Instructions De Service

3 Classification of the condensing units and of its
components according to the EU directives
The condensing units are intended for incorporation
into machines in accordance with the EU Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC. The electrical components com-
ply with the EU Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU. For
the incorporated pressurised components, the EU
Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (PED) may
be applicable, except for the compressors (see below).
The corresponding declarations of conformity and man-
ufacturers' declarations are available. Classification of
the individual components and additional explanations
see table 1, page 5.

Information
Condensing units are not considered a "func-
tional whole" according to the PED and do
therefore not fall within the scope of Art.1 §
2.1.5 "Assemblies". The directive is therefore
only applied to the individual components. The
same applies to the CE marking. Assessment
by a notified body: Bureau Veritas, Paris –
"Technical Appraisal" for ASERCOM members
PED-TA_ASE_001_01-DEU.
Information
According to Article 4 § 3.10, semi-hermetic and
open drive compressors are excluded from the
application range of the PED. This exception is
confirmed by the evaluation of a notified body.
Please refer to "Explanations about the product
conformity" AC-100 for further explanations.
Please refer to AC-100 for the classification of
pressurised accessories for compressors.
