For certain consumer products, the mechanical safety is a major concern. The protection of people, animals, and property from damage is getting more and more attention worldwide, especially in the expanding European market. For manufacturers who want to sell their mechanical products in the European Union (EU), the CE certification mark is used to indicate that their products have passed the required tests according to their type and nature of use. In order to obtain the CE certification mark, a company may spend a lot of time, manpower, financial resources and energy to understand the corresponding regulations to make its products meet the basic health and safety requirements stipulated in the machinery regulations.
For the EU Machinery Directive and the Low Voltage Directive, the Accreditation Certification and Inspection Agency has experts to guide you through this procedure more effectively. Standard Test cooperates with its customers to provide detailed machinery directive requirements and enables you to understand how to apply them to your products. Next, we will test whether your product meets the basic health and safety points of the directive. Once completed, if your product meets the basic requirements, your technical structure file will be edited and the CE certification mark will be officially applied. With the appraisal and support of quasi-testing experts, there is a guarantee to enter the market.
To be precise, what is EU Machinery Directive? By definition, the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) applies to institutions, mobile machinery, mechanical devices, machines used to lift and transport people, and safety accessories. The basic health and safety requirements (EHSR) specified in the regulations cover the entire mechanical engineering field and are extremely important aspects of the industrial society.
Machinery regulations apply to the following products:
*Ring-connected components
*There is at least one moving part
*Regulator, control and main circuit
*Material processing, processing, handling and packaging
*Joint operation of several machines
*Interchangeable equipment
*Hazards not covered by the Low Voltage Directive
*Not covered by other instructions
The Machinery Directive stipulates that for machinery products and safety components that belong to Appendix IV, the certification body must do CE type testing. This catalog defines and includes all types of products related to this directive:
Machine:
*Circular saw, sawing machine
*Surface planer for manual feed for woodworking
*Planner for unilateral trimming
*band-saw
*Combined wood processing machine
*Manual tenoning machine
*Manual vertical axis moulding machine
*Convenient chain saw
*Punch bed, including metal cold working
*For plastic and rubber compression molding machine
*Machines for underground work: machines for railroad tracks, hydraulically powered lifts, internal combustion engines
*Home garbage manual loader with compression mechanism
*Protective equipment and detachable drive shaft with universal joint
*Car lifting equipment
*The equipment used to lift people carries the risk of falling from more than 3 meters
*Machine for making pyrotechnics
Safety components:
*Inductors (non-contact induction protection devices, shielding, electromagnetic probes, gratings, etc.)
*Two-handed/double-controlled operation device
*Automatic removable screen
*Anti-tipping protection device
*Protection against falling objects
The main steps of CE certification product safety marking:
(1) Design products to meet the requirements of relevant product safety standards
(2) The establishment of technical documents (TCF) (that is, the specific information displayed to confirm that the product has met the basic safety requirements of the relevant directives of CE certification)
(3) Implement quality assurance system
(4) A certified certification body performs verification or signs a self-declaration of conformity (some specific products must be approved by the approved certification body before the CE certification mark can be attached)
(5) Attach the CE certification mark
