Absolutely no problem at all, staff will write down your PE number and that`s it !

According to the link provided below ( Sorry, only in german ) the entrance fee for up to 4 hours is Euro 16 , a good investment based on the usual airport prices for snacks and drinks.
Its proximity to the Sky Train station makes the lounge easy to use ( you basically reach any point of FRA within 10-15 minutes)
They offer sandwiches and cakes,which come from LH catering and are comparable to what LH offers in the SEN lounges.Open bar is also available, but there is a charge for the two computers though.
Not the best lounge in the world, but it is free to KL Platinum Elites and worth a short stop while getting from the overcrowded B SEN lounge to the nice Red Carpet Club.
To be honest I always take sections of the Sunday Times with me, the Sport and Travel sections are outstanding and the LH lounges only have the german sunday newspapers

Thanks for the info Threy. Reading German is not a problem, but writing and speaking it is something else! Die Deutsche Grammatik ist wirklich schwer!
I rarely use FRA, when I do it is on an AMS-FRA-JNB-FRA-JNB itinerary, which entails tranfers between LH (A) and SA (B). I understand the ECC lounge is conveniently located for this? (certainly much better than the Sky Club lounge used by KL in the boondocks of terminal 2E!)
On what basis do PEs have free access to the ECC lounge? No invitation required?
Thanks.

Johan,
the lounge is indeed located very conveniently for your usual transfer.If you leave the Sky Line on the second stop ( B gates ), turn left after taking the escalator down to the gate levels.The lounge is only 50 yards away.You have to show your card to the staff and they will write down your name and number, no invitation needed for KLM Platinum Elite card holders
