Test authorities and approval stamps
Test authorities and approval stamps in Europe and North America
Moeller devices have in their basic design all
worldwide necessary approvals including those
for the USA.
Some devices, such as circuit-breakers, are in their
basic design usable worldwide with the exception
of USA and Canada. For export to North America
devices are available with a special UL and CSA
approval.
In all cases special country specific installation and
operating specifications, installation ,materials
and types must be taken into account as well as
special circumstances such as difficult climatic
conditions.
Since January 1997 all devices that conform to the
European low-voltage guidelines and are for sale
in the European Union must be marked with the
CE mark.
The CE mark shows that the marked device
corresponds with all relevant requirements and
standards. This marking duty allows unlimited use
of this device within the European economic area.
Approval and marking for their own country is no
longer necessary when a device is marked with
the CE mark that corresponds to the harmonised
standards. (a Table, Page 9-32).
An exception is the instalation material. The
device group of circuit-breakers and earth-fault
protection switches are in certain areas still to be
labelled and are therefore marked with the
relevant label.
