Agency certification

2.12.1

Safety certification

These products are certified to meet the requirements of UL60950-1, CSA60950-1 and EN60950 and so

marked as to the certify agency.

2.12.2

Electromagnetic compatibility

Hard drives that display the CE mark comply with the European Union (EU) requirements specified in the Elec-

tromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2004/108/EC) as put into place 20 July 2007. Testing is performed to the

levels specified by the product standards for Information Technology Equipment (ITE). Emission levels are

defined by EN 55022, Class B and the immunity levels are defined by EN 55024.

Drives are tested in representative end-user systems. Although CE-marked Seagate drives comply with the

directives when used in the test systems, we cannot guarantee that all systems will comply with the directives.

The drive is designed for operation inside a properly designed enclosure, with properly shielded I/O cable (if

necessary) and terminators on all unused I/O ports. Computer manufacturers and system integrators should

confirm EMC compliance and provide CE marking for their products.
