Your Definitive Guide to CE Marking
Today, the European Commission has published new lists of European harmonised standards for the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) and the ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU), and a new list of EADs for the Construction Products Regulation. See our video announcement:
The Lists of harmonised standards are added to the CE Marking Library. Also the standards database will be updated shortly.
If you have questions or comments, please contact us.
The European Commission has published a new list of European harmonised standards for the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC). If you are a machine manufacturer with CE marked machinery, we recommended you to download the new list and check if the standards you applied have been amended. The list may also contain newly adopted standards that apply to your machinery.
On Monday, the Swindon Magistrates Court (UK) fined the UK importer of a stone cutting machine as well as the company that put the machine into service. The fine for safety failings follows an incident that happened on 12 March 2013.
On July 11, 2014 the European Commission has published an updated list of European harmonized standards that pertain to the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) in the Official Journal of the European Union. Besides updates to existing standards, this list (2014/C 220/01) also contains 16 new standards.
Yesterday we reported you on the publication of a new list of European harmonized standards for the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC). The European Commission has already published corrections to that list.
Interview with Ian Fraser, former Policy Officer at the European Commission responsible for the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC), and Team Leader about questions related to the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).
Doug Nix and Han Zuyderwijk discuss with Ian about:
– the regulatory developments in the directive in the last ten years;
– the concept of the ‘person authorised to compile the technical documentation’ and how it differs from the authorised representative;
– the integration of risk assessment into the EMC Directive and Low Voltage Directive;
– responsibilities for products placed in the market when a) the relevant directives are amended, and b) relevant standards are amended. What does that mean for the conformity assessment and the Declaration of Conformity;
– how the future amendments to the Medical Devices Regulation/Directive relates to the Machinery Directive;
– are electromagnetic compatibility aspects of machinery going to be reinforced in the Machinery Directive;
whether there should be more regulations or certification of CE/Machine Safety consultants.
We briefly lost connection and therefore the recording was interrupted for a short while. Obviously, it pays off to join the live session ;)
