SLOVAK REPUBLIC -- STN EN 50081-2 -- ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATABILITY. GENERIC EMISSION STANDARD. PART 2: INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT The following notification is being circulated in accordance with Article 10.6. G/TBT/Notif.97.188. 1. Member to Agreement notifying: SLOVAK REPUBLIC. If applicable, name of local government involved (Articles 3.2 and 7.2). 2. Agency responsible: Slovak Ministry of Transport, Posts and Telecommunications. Agency or authority designated to handle comments regarding the notification can be indicated if different from above. 3. Notified under Article 2.9.2. 4. Products covered (HS or CCCN where applicable, otherwise national tariff heading. ICS numbers may be provided in addition, where applicable): Electrical and electronic apparatus used in industrial environment. 5. Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document: STN EN 50081-2 -- Electromagnetic Compatibility. Generic Emission Standard. Part 2: Industrial Environment (22 pages, available in Slovak). 6. Description of content: The environments encompassed by this Standard are industrial, both indoor and outdoor. Apparatus covered bythis Standard is not intended for connection to a public mains network but it is intended to be connected to a power network supplied from a high or medium-voltage transformer dedicated for the supply of an installation feeding manufacturing or similar plant. This Standard applies to apparatus intended to operate in industrial locations or in proximity to industrial power installations. 7. Objective and rationale: The objective of this Standard is to define limits and test methods for apparatus defined in this Standard in relation to electromagnetic emissions which may cause interference in other apparatus. The adoption of this Standard as a compulsory regulation will facilitate the international trade since the Standard is identical with the internationally recognized and Europe-wide used Standard CENELEC/EN 50081-2. Obsolete and non-compatible national standards are replaced by this Standard. The adoption of CENELEC Standard in the form of compulsory regulation is only a temporary solution based on the ActNo. 142/1991 on Slovak Technical Standards (amended and supplemented by the Act. No. 632/1992 and Act No. 143/1995). In the course of approximation of the Slovak laws to the EU legislation this Act will be brought in line with the EU New approach and Global Approach principles, and via the adoption of relevant regulations the status of this CENELEC Standard will be converted in the Slovak Republic into the voluntary one. 8. Relevant documents: STN 34 2860 -- Electric engineering regulations. Suppression of radio interference caused by electric motors, apparatus and appliances. STN EN 50081-2 idt EN 50081-2. 9. Proposed date of adoption: Will be determined; Proposed date of entry into force: Will be determined. 10. Final date for comments: 30 June 1997. 11. Text available from: National enquiry point.
