CE MARKING

CE MARKING

The Machinery Directive has helped increasing workers’ safety by providing specifications for machine design and construction that can minimize the risks arising from machine use. The Machinery Directive applies to the following products:

• machines;
• interchangeable equipment;
• safety components;
• accessories for lifting;
• chains, ropes, straps;
• mechanical transmission removable devices;
• partly completed machinery (parts that almost make up a machine, but are not able to perform a specific application on their own – for example: a drive system – that is intended to be incorporated or assembled with other machines or assembled with other partly completed machinery or devices in order to form a machine).

The certification of the machines is permitted only if they meet the essential requirements for health and safety imposed by the EU Machinery regulations and subsequent additions and amendments.

The manufacturer must issue the technical documentation and the internal measures that must be implemented to ensure their compliance with the provisions of the EU Machinery regulations.
