Directives

- legislative acts of the European Union which oblige member states to implement regulations to achieve the desired results.

The machine guidelines declare several requirements. All (new) machines and devices which are to be installed and put into operation at the workplace must have an EC conformity declaration.
In some special cases, e.g. with devices that are to be used in areas prone to explosion, it is inevitable to include a third party in the conformity assessment procedure.
The same applies to machines listed in Annex IV of Machine Directive 2006/42/EC (in this case diverse conformity assessment procedures are allowed, with the choice being with the manufacturer).

We invite you to get acquainted with these guidelines.

Everybody who wants to conduct a hazard analysis for CE marking must be familiar with Directives and

Norms EN ISO 12100.

The program MaschCE helps with conformity assessment (including hazard analysis and risk assessment). For this reason it is necessary that the user is in possession of the mentioned directives and norms.

 
 

The program MaschCE supports manufacturers and users in the conformity assessment process in accordance with the directives and norms.
