European EMC Directive
SIMOTICS motors do not fall within the area of validity covered by the EMC Directive. The
products are not considered as devices in the sense of the directive. Installed and operated
with a converter, the motor – together with the Power Drive System – must comply with the
requirements laid down in the applicable EMC Directive.
Eurasian conformity
SIMOTICS motors comply with the requirements of the customs union Russia/Belarus/
Kazakhstan (EAC).
China Compulsory Certification
SIMOTICS motors do not fall within the area of validity covered by the China Compulsory
Certification (CCC).

Underwriters Laboratories
SIMOTICS motors are generally in compliance with UL and cUL as components of motor
applications, and are appropriately listed.
Specifically developed motors and functions are the exceptions in this case. Here, it is
important that you carefully observe the contents of the quotation and that there is a cUL
mark on the rating plate!
Quality systems
Siemens AG employs a quality management system that meets the requirements of
ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

European RoHS directive
The SIMOTICS motor series complies with Directive 2011/65/EU to restrict the use of certain
hazardous materials.
2.3.2
Danger from strong magnetic fields
Occurrence of magnetic fields
Motor components with permanent magnets generate very strong magnetic fields. In the no-
current condition, the magnetic field strength of the motors comes exclusively from the
magnetic fields of components equipped with permanent magnets. Additional
electromagnetic fields occur in operation.
