INSTRUCTIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATIONOF RULEBOOK ON THE ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY1. INTRODUCTIONThe instructi<strong>on</strong>s have been prepared in order to help all ec<strong>on</strong>omic operators (manufactures,importers, equipment distributors), and all those involved in design, producti<strong>on</strong> and/or trade <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>equipment which may cause <strong>electromagnetic</strong> disturbance and/ or equipment <strong>on</strong> which thosedisturbances can deteriorate its per<str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mance. Also, c<strong>on</strong>sumers <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Handbook could be o<strong>the</strong>rstakeholders who directly or indirectly applies Rulebook <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> Electromagnetic Compatibility("Official Gazette <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> RS", No. 13/10 – hereinafter referred to as: Rulebook), as c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity assessmentdesignated bodies (hereinafter referred to as: Designated bodies), standardisers, c<strong>on</strong>sumer associati<strong>on</strong>s,market surveillance authorities and similar.Intenti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> authors <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this Handbook is to provide short and c<strong>on</strong>cise overview in regards to <strong>the</strong>:- applicati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Rulebook,- essential requirements,- list <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Serbian standards accompanying <strong>the</strong> Rulebook,- technical documentati<strong>on</strong>,- <strong>the</strong> means (module) <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity assessment,- <strong>the</strong> principle <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity marking with Serbian c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity mark,- documentati<strong>on</strong> accompanying <strong>the</strong> product,- <strong>the</strong> safeguard clause and- market surveillance.Rulebook is aligned with all essential requiremens from Directive 2004/108/EC <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> EuropeanParliament and <strong>the</strong> Council <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> December 15 th 2004 relating to <strong>electromagnetic</strong> compatibility (EMC),which is in line with <strong>the</strong> commitments <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Republic <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Serbia under <strong>the</strong> Stabilisati<strong>on</strong> and Associati<strong>on</strong>Agreement (SAA), and Nati<strong>on</strong>al Programme <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> Integrati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Republic <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Serbia to <strong>the</strong> EuropeanUni<strong>on</strong> (NPI) in regards to <strong>the</strong> transpositi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> directives <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> European Uni<strong>on</strong> (EU) into nati<strong>on</strong>allegislati<strong>on</strong>, and harm<strong>on</strong>izati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> nati<strong>on</strong>al legislati<strong>on</strong> with <strong>the</strong> Acquis Communautaire. Obligati<strong>on</strong>sfrom SAA particularly relate to <strong>the</strong> part referring to <strong>the</strong> free movement <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> goods and, in this sense, <strong>the</strong>necessity <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> harm<strong>on</strong>izati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> technical legislati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Republic <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Serbia with EU technicallegislati<strong>on</strong> with <strong>the</strong> aim to remove technical barriers to trade as <strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> key elements <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> ensuring <strong>the</strong>free movement <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> goods and creating a single market.If <strong>the</strong> Rulebook is defined from <strong>the</strong> different perspective, that is, if we say that its primary goal isto harm<strong>on</strong>ize <strong>the</strong> rules governing <strong>the</strong> marketing <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> equipment to which <strong>the</strong> Rulebook applies, whileat <strong>the</strong> same time provides an acceptable level <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> protecti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> telecommunicati<strong>on</strong>s and radio systems,energy systems and o<strong>the</strong>r electr<strong>on</strong>ic equipment from <strong>electromagnetic</strong> disturbance, <strong>the</strong>n it is justified toc<strong>on</strong>clude that <strong>the</strong> Rulebook actually represents also a guideline intended <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> engineers, which must beapplied at <strong>the</strong> beginning <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> designing equipment with <strong>the</strong> main objective to provide its placing <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong>market and/or use. One can say that evan a producti<strong>on</strong> approach <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> product, in <strong>the</strong> scope <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> thisRulebook is changed.Rulebook prescribes streng<strong>the</strong>ned exclusive resp<strong>on</strong>sibility <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> manufacturer that <strong>the</strong> equipmentreferred to in <strong>the</strong> Rulebook, which is placed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> market and/or put into use shall be in c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity with5


There are two primary objectives that <str<strong>on</strong>g>rulebook</str<strong>on</strong>g> must meet: to ensure free and smooth placing <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><strong>the</strong> equipment <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> market <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Republic <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Serbia; at <strong>the</strong> same time, to establish an acceptable<strong>electromagnetic</strong> envir<strong>on</strong>ment where <strong>the</strong>se appliances can operate freely.These main objectives are accomplished by ensuring and fulfilling essential requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g><strong>electromagnetic</strong> compatibility, namely: to ensure that <strong>the</strong> <strong>electromagnetic</strong> disturbance produced by <strong>the</strong> equipment in its envir<strong>on</strong>ment doesnot affect <strong>the</strong> proper functi<strong>on</strong>ing <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> o<strong>the</strong>r equipment; to ensure <strong>the</strong> immunity <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> equipment, that is, ability to per<str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>m without deteriorati<strong>on</strong>, inaccordance with <strong>the</strong> intended purpose, in <strong>the</strong> presence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>electromagnetic</strong> disturbance.The fulfilment <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> essential requirements does not guarantee, nor is it possible to guarantee absoluteprotecti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> equipment (e.g. zero-emissi<strong>on</strong> level or complete immunity).2.1. Products covered by <strong>the</strong> RulebookBy entering into <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>ce and with <strong>the</strong> beginning <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> full applicati<strong>on</strong> (20 th March 2010) <strong>the</strong> Rulebookhas generated <strong>the</strong> greatest number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> questi<strong>on</strong>s regarding <strong>the</strong> scope, that is, to which products does <strong>the</strong>Rulebook apply to?Flowchart 1 – ScopeThis Rulebook applies to all equipment liable to cause <strong>electromagnetic</strong> disturbance, and/or <strong>the</strong>per<str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mance <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> which is liable to be affected by such disturbance. There<str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>e, it applies to electrical andelectr<strong>on</strong>ic appliances, systems and fixed installati<strong>on</strong>s.The applicati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this Rulebook shall not affect <strong>the</strong> applicati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> specific regulati<strong>on</strong>s regulating<strong>the</strong> safety <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> equipment.7


The Rulebook defines equipment as apparatus or fixed installati<strong>on</strong>.Because <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> different requirements, stipulated in <strong>the</strong> Rulebook it is very important to defineequipment in a proper way, in line with Flowchart 2.What is „apparatus“?Flowchart 2 – Classificati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> apparatusRulebook defines "apparatus" as any finished appliance or combinati<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong>re<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> with <strong>the</strong> functi<strong>on</strong>intended <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> end user and intended to be placed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> market as a single commercial unit and liable togenerate <strong>electromagnetic</strong> disturbance or <strong>the</strong> per<str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mance <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> which is liable to be affected by suchdisturbances, as well as:- comp<strong>on</strong>ents or sub-assemblies intended <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> incorporati<strong>on</strong> into an apparatus by <strong>the</strong> end user, whichare liable to generate <strong>electromagnetic</strong> disturbances, or <strong>the</strong> per<str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mance <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> which is liable to be affected bysuch disturbances;- mobile installati<strong>on</strong>s defined as a combinati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> apparatus and, where applicable, o<strong>the</strong>r apparatusintended to be moved and operated in different locati<strong>on</strong>s.The most important prec<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> to c<strong>on</strong>sider any appliance or combinati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> appliances as anapparatus in terms <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Rulebook is:- that <strong>the</strong> device is intended <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> end user,- that <strong>the</strong> device is able to cause <strong>electromagnetic</strong> disturbance, or may be affected by such disturbancein its intended purpose.If both c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s are not fulfilled due to <strong>the</strong> very nature <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> apparatus, <strong>the</strong>n we can say it is abenign apparatus, and that <strong>on</strong> such apparatus <strong>the</strong> Rulebook is not applicable.8


Flowchart 3 – Provisi<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Rulebook applicable to apparatusFinished appliancesFinished appliance is any appliance that is delivered as a single functi<strong>on</strong>al unit (it is packed in its„case“) <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> market and it is intered <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> end user.When that appliance is intended exclusively <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> an industrial assembly operati<strong>on</strong> or incorporati<strong>on</strong> intoo<strong>the</strong>r apparatus, such an appliance shall not be c<strong>on</strong>sidered as an apparatus in terms <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this Rulebook.Combinati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> finished appliances (systems)Combinati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> finished appliances (systems) is combinati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> more finished appliances that are as asingle functi<strong>on</strong>al unit placed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> market. Such a system, in order to be c<strong>on</strong>sidered apparatus in terms <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><strong>the</strong> Rulebook, must be combined, and/or designed and/or put toge<strong>the</strong>r by <strong>the</strong> same pers<strong>on</strong> („manufacturer”).Comp<strong>on</strong>ents or sub-assemblies Rulebook applies toComp<strong>on</strong>ents or sub-assemblies <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> market intended <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> incorporati<strong>on</strong> into an apparatus by <strong>the</strong> enduser and which are available to <strong>the</strong> end user are c<strong>on</strong>sidered as apparatus in respect to <strong>the</strong> applicati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>this Rulebook.Typical examples <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> named comp<strong>on</strong>ents or sub-assemblies are:- „Plug-in” cards <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> computer;- Programmable logic c<strong>on</strong>trollers;- Electric motors (except <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> inducti<strong>on</strong> motors);- Power supply units, where <strong>the</strong>y take <strong>the</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>m <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> aut<strong>on</strong>omous equipment or which are soldseparately, <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> installati<strong>on</strong> by <strong>the</strong> end user;- Computer disk drives;- Electr<strong>on</strong>ic temperature c<strong>on</strong>trols, etc.In this case attenti<strong>on</strong> should be paid pay to <strong>the</strong> instructi<strong>on</strong> manual. It should be assumed thatadjustments or incorporati<strong>on</strong> can be made by <strong>the</strong> end users who are not aware <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>sequences <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><strong>electromagnetic</strong> compatibility.9


Mobile installati<strong>on</strong>sMobile installati<strong>on</strong>s (e.g. a portable broadcast studio) which are defined as a combinati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> apparatus(and where applicable o<strong>the</strong>r devices) intended to be moved and operated in a different locati<strong>on</strong>s arec<strong>on</strong>sidered to be apparatus in terms <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this Rulebook.What is „fixed installati<strong>on</strong>”?Rulebook prescribes that a fixed installati<strong>on</strong> is a particular combinati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> several types <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> apparatusand o<strong>the</strong>r devices, which are assembled, installed and intended to be used permanently at a predeterminedlocati<strong>on</strong>.The definiti<strong>on</strong> covers all installati<strong>on</strong>s from <strong>the</strong> smallest residential electrical installati<strong>on</strong> through t<strong>on</strong>ati<strong>on</strong>al electrical and teleph<strong>on</strong>e networks, including all commercial and industrial installati<strong>on</strong>s.The EMC Directive, that is, <strong>the</strong> Rulebook excludes benign installati<strong>on</strong>s. However, “a- priori”applicati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this exclusi<strong>on</strong> criteri<strong>on</strong> seems problematic, so it is used <strong>on</strong> a case–by-case basis.The term “fixed installati<strong>on</strong>” also applies to large machines if <strong>the</strong>y meet <strong>the</strong> definiti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fixedinstallati<strong>on</strong>s, <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> example, producti<strong>on</strong> lines. Large machines, in <strong>the</strong> comm<strong>on</strong> sense <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this term, are normallyapparatus and <strong>the</strong>y have to be treated as such.Examples <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fixed installati<strong>on</strong>s: Industrial plants; power plants; power supply networks;telecommunicati<strong>on</strong> networks; cable TV networks; computer networks; airport luggage handlinginstallati<strong>on</strong>s; airport runway lighting installati<strong>on</strong>s (systems); automatic warehouses; skating hall icerink machinery installati<strong>on</strong>s; storm surge barrier installati<strong>on</strong>s (systems) (with <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>trol room, etc);wind turbine stati<strong>on</strong>s; car assembly plants; water pumping stati<strong>on</strong>s; water treatment plants; railwayinfrastructures; air c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>ing installati<strong>on</strong>s.Flowchart 4 – Installati<strong>on</strong>sApparatus placed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> market, and incorporated into fixed installati<strong>on</strong>s, certain provisi<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><strong>the</strong> Rulebook relating to apparatus, are applicable to, that is, such apparatus have to comply with <strong>the</strong>requirements set in <strong>the</strong> Rulebook.However, <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> apparatus intended <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> incorporati<strong>on</strong> into a fixed installati<strong>on</strong>, and o<strong>the</strong>rwise arenot intended to be placed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> market, that is, <strong>the</strong>y are not commercially available, <strong>the</strong> Rulebookdoes not apply.10


2.2. Products not covered by <strong>the</strong> RulebookGenerally speaking, equipment which does not c<strong>on</strong>tain electrical and/or electr<strong>on</strong>ic parts will notcreate <strong>electromagnetic</strong> disturbances and its normal operati<strong>on</strong> is not affected by such disturbances. There<str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>e,equipment without electrical and/or electr<strong>on</strong>ic parts is not in <strong>the</strong> scope <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Rulebook, that is, <strong>the</strong>provisi<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Rulebook do not apply to such equipment.Rulebook explicitly does not apply to:- radio equipment and telecommunicati<strong>on</strong>s terminal equipment which is governed by a differentregulati<strong>on</strong>;(That different regulati<strong>on</strong> transposed R&TTE directive (1999/5/EC) into nati<strong>on</strong>al legislati<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Republic <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Serbia. This European Directive covers most radio equipment andtelecommunicati<strong>on</strong> terminal equipment and includes requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>electromagnetic</strong> compatibility.This means “de-facto” that <strong>the</strong> requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>electromagnetic</strong> compatibility from EMC directive,that is, from <strong>the</strong> Rulebook are obligatory <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> R&TTE equipment).- aer<strong>on</strong>autical products, parts and appliances <strong>on</strong> which regulati<strong>on</strong>s from <strong>the</strong> field <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> civilaviati<strong>on</strong> are applied to;- radio equipment used by radio amateurs, unless that equipment is placed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> marketindependently.Equipment covered by specific regulati<strong>on</strong>sSuch equipment is:- Motor Vehicles - Electromagnetic compatibility (motor vehicles), electr<strong>on</strong>ic sub-assemblies andpost-market electr<strong>on</strong>ic equipment (equipment which is independently placed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> market)related to immunity, and comp<strong>on</strong>ents-parts that are sold as a post-market equipment (equipmentthat is individually placed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> market) and is intended <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> installati<strong>on</strong> into motor vehicles als<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>rom <strong>the</strong> aspect <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> immunity;Equipment satisfying <strong>the</strong> requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> exempti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> type approval under <strong>the</strong> motor vehicle EMCdirective must meet <strong>the</strong> essential requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this Rulebook.- Active implantable Medical Devices: Directive 90/385/EEC- Medical Devices: Directive 93/42/EEC;- In vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices: Directive 98/79/EC;- Marine equipment: if covered by Directive 96/98/EC;- Agricultural and <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>estry tractors covered by Directive 75/322/EEC;- Two or three-wheel motor vehicles within scope <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Directive 97/24/EC;Benign equipmentEquipment is c<strong>on</strong>sidered benign in terms <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this Rulebook, if:- its physical characteristics are such that it is incapable <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> creating or c<strong>on</strong>tributing to<strong>electromagnetic</strong> emissi<strong>on</strong>s,- it can operate without deteriorati<strong>on</strong> in <strong>the</strong> presence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> <strong>electromagnetic</strong> disturbance.Comp<strong>on</strong>ents /sub-assembliesComp<strong>on</strong>ents and sub-assemblies, as well as those intended <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> incorporati<strong>on</strong> into apparatus and/orano<strong>the</strong>r sub-assembly by pers<strong>on</strong>s o<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong> end user are not c<strong>on</strong>sidered as apparatus in regards to thisRulebook.Typical examples are:- resistors, capacitors, inductors, filters;- diodes, transistors, thyristors, triacs, etc;- integrated circuits;11


- simple <strong>electromagnetic</strong> relays;- LEDs - light emitting diode;- simple <strong>the</strong>rmostats;- cathode ray tubes.3. ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTSEssential requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>electromagnetic</strong> compatibility are prescribed in Annex 1. It can be said thatthis methodology directly introduces specific procedures which become an integral part <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> designprocess and manufacturing <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> products.Rulebook defines <strong>the</strong> essential requirements, such as: general requirements relating to allequipment (appliances and fixed installati<strong>on</strong>s) and special requirements relating to fixed installati<strong>on</strong>s.Essential requirements aim to protect public and general interests.General requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> equipment ensure:1) <strong>the</strong> <strong>electromagnetic</strong> disturbances generated does not exceed <strong>the</strong> level above which radio andtelecommunicati<strong>on</strong>s equipment or o<strong>the</strong>r equipment cannot operate as intended;2) that equipment has a level <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> immunity to <strong>the</strong> <strong>electromagnetic</strong> disturbances to be expected in itsintended use which allows it to operate without unacceptable degradati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> its intended use.The specific essential requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> fixed installati<strong>on</strong>s prescribe that fixed installati<strong>on</strong>s need tobe installed taking into account <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> good engineering practice in <strong>the</strong> field <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>electromagnetic</strong> compatibilityand taking into account <strong>the</strong> in<str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> intended use <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> its comp<strong>on</strong>ents, in order to meet protecti<strong>on</strong>requirements referring to general requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> equipment. Good engineering practice is documented and<strong>the</strong> documentati<strong>on</strong> is kept by <strong>the</strong> pers<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>sible who is obliged to make it available and at disposal to<strong>the</strong> relevant authorities <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> inspecti<strong>on</strong> purposes <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> as l<strong>on</strong>g as <strong>the</strong> fixed installati<strong>on</strong> is in operati<strong>on</strong>.4. LIST OF SERBIAN STANDARDS ACCOMPANYING THE RULEBOOKAND PRESUMPTION OF CONFORMITYHarm<strong>on</strong>ized standards in <strong>the</strong> field <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>electromagnetic</strong> compatibility are transposed and adopted asSerbian standards by <strong>the</strong> Institute <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> Standardizati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Serbia.

In o<strong>the</strong>r words it could be said that <strong>the</strong> equipment complies with <strong>the</strong>12


essential requirements until it is proven o<strong>the</strong>rwise. More, such equipment is placed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> market and/or putinto use freely without any restricti<strong>on</strong>s.The manufacturer can design and manufacture <strong>the</strong> equipment, without applying any <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong>standards from <strong>the</strong> list <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> standards or with applying <strong>on</strong>ly parts <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a standard. In this case, <strong>the</strong>manufacturer, through technical documentati<strong>on</strong>, must prove that such technical soluti<strong>on</strong> fully complieswith all essential requirements prescribed by <strong>the</strong> Rulebook.There<str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>e, it can be c<strong>on</strong>cluded that <strong>the</strong> use <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Serbian standards from <strong>the</strong> list <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> standards is <strong>the</strong>simplest and fastest tool in <strong>the</strong> procedure <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> "c<strong>on</strong>firming" that <strong>the</strong> product is in compliance wi<strong>the</strong>ssential requirements.5.

MARKET SURVEILLANCEMarket surveillance over <strong>the</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>implementati<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Rulebook should ensure that <strong>the</strong> Rulebook isapplied in practice and that <strong>the</strong> equipment placed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> market and/or put into use in <strong>the</strong> Republic <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>Serbia is safe.Market surveillance is carried out during or after placing those products <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> Serbian market,and/or into <strong>the</strong>ir intended use. Market surveillance is different from <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity assessment because<strong>the</strong>ir aim is to ensure c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> products be<str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>e <strong>the</strong>y are placed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> market and/or put into use.19


Market surveillance can be d<strong>on</strong>e at any stage after <strong>the</strong> completi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> equipment design, asso<strong>on</strong> as <strong>the</strong> product is made available <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> distributi<strong>on</strong> or use in <strong>the</strong> Republic <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Serbia. Equipment canbe inspected at <strong>the</strong> premises <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> manufacturers, importers, distributors or companies that rent, as well asin transit.What does relevant market surveillance authority checks?- C<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity mark and declarati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity- Instructi<strong>on</strong>s- Where applicable, documents <strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity to which Declarati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> C<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity refers to- Technical documentati<strong>on</strong> - if <strong>the</strong> relevant market surveillance authority has reas<strong>on</strong>able doubt inc<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity with <strong>the</strong> essential health and safety requirements, it may require <strong>the</strong> submissi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> technicaldocumentati<strong>on</strong>. Such a request may be submitted at any stage <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> market surveillance procedure.Acti<strong>on</strong>s and measures undertaken by <strong>the</strong> relevant market surveillance authority in <strong>the</strong> case <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> n<strong>on</strong>compliance<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> all <strong>the</strong> products with <strong>the</strong> requirements from every technical regulati<strong>on</strong>, including n<strong>on</strong>compliance<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> equipment with <strong>the</strong> requirements from <strong>the</strong> Rulebook, are prescribed by <strong>the</strong> Law <strong>on</strong> TechnicalRequirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> Products and C<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity Assessment, and in <strong>the</strong> absence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> some surveillance measures inthat Law, o<strong>the</strong>r surveillance measures from <strong>the</strong> Law <strong>on</strong> General Product Safety are applied.10. CONCLUSIONC<strong>on</strong>trary to <strong>the</strong> Old Approach, <strong>the</strong> philosophy <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> New Approach implies that <strong>the</strong> Europeandirectives define <strong>on</strong>ly essential requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> product safety, and that <strong>the</strong> detailed technical c<strong>on</strong>tent,i.e. elaborati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> essential requirements is c<strong>on</strong>tained in <strong>the</strong> so-called harm<strong>on</strong>ized Europeanstandards. When requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> harm<strong>on</strong>ized standards are met, it is c<strong>on</strong>sidered that <strong>the</strong>manufacturer fulfils <strong>the</strong> essential requirements c<strong>on</strong>tained in <strong>the</strong> New Approach directives (presumpti<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity). Having in mind that fulfilment <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> requirements from standards is not <strong>the</strong> <strong>on</strong>ly way toensure c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity with essential requirements; manufacturer can meet essential requirements inano<strong>the</strong>r manner. This way <strong>the</strong> voluntary applicati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> standards is preserved.Ano<strong>the</strong>r element <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> New Approach represents a way to verify compliance with <strong>the</strong> essentialrequirements. C<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity assessment is based <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> so-called Global Approach, i.e. modules <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity assessment. Unlike <strong>the</strong> Old Approach, compliance with <strong>the</strong> requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> directive isc<strong>on</strong>firmed by <strong>the</strong> manufacturer – with a declarati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity or document <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity whichwere issued by designated c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity assessment body, and <strong>the</strong> government is completely left out from<strong>the</strong> process <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity assessment with <strong>the</strong> prescribed requirements.Since <strong>the</strong> Rulebook transposed <strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> New Approach directives - EMC 2004/108/EC, <strong>the</strong>spirit <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> New and Global approach is also transferred into technical legislati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Republic <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>Serbia. In additi<strong>on</strong> to <strong>the</strong>se basic principles, <strong>the</strong> Rulebook temporarily introduced, as an additi<strong>on</strong>almechanism <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>sumer protecti<strong>on</strong>, verificati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> products per<str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>med by <strong>the</strong>designated bodies.In accordance with Directive 2004/108/EC, as <strong>the</strong> so-called New Approach directive in <strong>the</strong> field<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> technical legislati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> EU, as well as <strong>the</strong> law governing <strong>the</strong> technical requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> productsand c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity assessment, this Rulebook prescribes essential new soluti<strong>on</strong>s in <strong>the</strong> field <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><strong>electromagnetic</strong> compatibility requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> equipment that can cause <strong>electromagnetic</strong> disturbanceand/or that such disturbances do not affect its normal operati<strong>on</strong>; <strong>the</strong> new soluti<strong>on</strong>s in regards tooperators that carry out or participate in <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity assessment and <strong>the</strong> types <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> documents <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity, as well as in regards to <strong>the</strong> voluntary applicati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Serbian standards that transposeharm<strong>on</strong>ized (European) standards in this field (presumpti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>mity). This c<strong>on</strong>cept differs fromc<strong>on</strong>cept from earlier <str<strong>on</strong>g>rulebook</str<strong>on</strong>g>s and ordinances in <strong>the</strong> field <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>electromagnetic</strong> compatibility, which<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>ten c<strong>on</strong>tained out <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> date, inc<strong>on</strong>sistent and too detailed technical and technological soluti<strong>on</strong>s andrules, which have, in recent years, started to show unnecessary restricti<strong>on</strong>s and burdens <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong>manufacturers.20
