The ATV630 range of drives are compliant with the standards

61000/3/12 and , EN/IEC 61800-3 environment 1 category C2, EN/IEC 61800-3 environment 2 category C3 complaint, across the range of the drives when installed correctly.

The ATV320U22N4C and the ATV320U40N4B are compliant with the IEC 61800-3 (environments 1 and 2, category C2, C3).
However these ATV320U07N4C/B and ATV320U75N4C/B sizes are not compliant with the 61000/3/12 standard as they fall outside the scope of the standard.
This standard is for devices that pull above 16amps to the maximum of 75amp line current and neither of these drives pull above the 16 amp level from the supply.

If you were to use the largest of the ATV320 drive range 11kw or the 15kw drive, these do pull higher than the 16 amp line current and would only meet the standard when fitted with the line choke in the supply to the drive.
