The standards upon which the specified
directives are based have been part of our
standard of development for a long time. This
guarantees conformance with European
directives. The numbers of the directives
indicate their version at the time of
publication. In the event of changes to
directives and/or standards, our products will
undergo conformity assessment again in good
time and a new declaration of conformity will
be issued promptly. The current declarations
for each product can also be found in our
download area.
The EMC Directive occupies a special place
among the European directives listed. It
defines electromagnetic compatibility as a
fundamental property of devices based on
mandatory guidelines. European Law
therefore acknowledges the electromagnetic
compatibility of devices and systems as an
important condition for error-free operation
of machinery and systems. Phoenix Contact is
one of the leading international companies in
surge protection, and therefore possesses
broad expertise in EMC. This expertise and
the experience gained over years of
developing and applying industrial interface
and communication technology have resulted
in our products having an extremely high
standard of quality with regard to
electromagnetic compatibility. It was with a
view to providing other companies with this
expertise that our associate company,
Phoenix Testlab, was founded. Phoenix
Testlab GmbH is an independent, accredited
service provider offering EMC testing that
conforms to European standards. At Phoenix
Testlab, devices are also tested with regard to
their electrical safety, mechanical influences,
and their behavior in relation to
environmental influences. Furthermore,
Phoenix Testlab is a “Notified Body”
according to EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and
Integrated management system
The aim of the Phoenix Contact integrated
management system is to coordinate all the
requirements regarding products, processes,
and organization.
Statutory and regulatory requirements, as
well as those of international standards and
our customers, are met and, in some cases,
even exceeded in all phases of the product
lifecycle.
The Phoenix Contact management system
is monitored by internationally recognized
independent bodies each year to ensure that
quality, environmental protection, energy
efficiency, and occupational safety have been
integrated in conformance with the relevant
requirements. Certification according to
international standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001,
ISO 50001, and BS OHSAS 18001 is the result
of our corporate philosophy of meeting the
needs of our customers, staff, and
environment as best as possible. They serve
as the basis for innovative products with the
familiar high Phoenix quality standard, actively
practiced environmental protection through
efficient production and products that
conserve resources, and responsibility in the
field of occupational health and safety. It goes
without saying that we integrate all further
requirements of standards, international
approvals or special customer requirements
into our company processes.
This system provides a building block for
the success of the Phoenix Contact Group
and its products and services.
CE marking
CE marking was introduced as an
important instrument for the free movement
of goods and services within the single
European market. By attaching the mark to a
product, the manufacturer confirms that it
complies with all applicable European Union
(EU) directives. EC directives describe the
product properties with regard to device
safety and avoiding danger. These are legally
binding regulations of the European Union
(EU). In other words, compliance with the
requirements is a statutory condition for
marketing the product within the EU.
