APPLICABLE STANDARDS
EUROPEAN DIRECTIVES AND STANDARDS
All European countries are required to comply with European directives for products placed on the market. Compliance
with harmonised standards provides a presumption of conformity with the essential health and safety requirements
of the European directives that reference them. One of the major changes linked to the transition to the new European
standards and directives is the notion of responsibility: if the product is the result of the assembly of components
from several suppliers, the installer is considered, in fact, responsible for the whole installation.
SCOPE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The motorised product must be installed by a professional in the eld of motorisation and home automation. The
installer must ensure that the installation of the drive complies with the relevant standards in the intended area of
application and the electrical installation regulations in force in the country of use. Before installing and using the
motorization, carefully follow the instructions in the manual supplied with the product and the safety instructions. All
use of the motorization outside of the eld of application is strictly prohibited. Wrongful use or other failure to comply
with the instructions in the manual would dismiss SIMU from any liability and guarantee. The installer must inform
his customers of the conditions of use and maintenance of the motorization and must give them the instructions for
use and maintenance, as well as the document enclosed with the product (instructions and safety). Any after-sales
service operation on the operator requires the intervention of an operator and home automation professional. If you
have any doubts about the installation of the operator or if you need further information, please contact a SIMU
representative or visit www.simu.com
