CE COMPLIANCE
CE marking states the compliance of the product with essential requirements listed in
the applicable European directive. Since the directives and applicable standards are
subject to continuous updates, and since Datalogic promptly adopts these updates,
therefore the EU declaration of conformity is a living document. The EU declaration of
conformity is available for competent authorities and customers through Datalogic
commercial reference contacts. Since April 20th, 2016 the main European directives
applicable to Datalogic products require inclusion of an adequate analysis and assess-
ment of the risk(s). This evaluation was carried out in relation to the applicable points of
the standards listed in the Declaration of Conformity. Datalogic products are mainly
designed for integration purposes into more complex systems. For this reason it is under
the responsibility of the customer to do a new risk assessment regarding the final instal-
lation.
CAUTION
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may
cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take
adequate measures.
