Mechanical CE certification mark instruction has been amended three times:
91/368/EEC 98/37/EC 2006/42/EC
The new EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC in December 29.2009
Effective implementation date (exception: processing machine box, only portable cartridge has a machining or pressing function can until June 29, 2011), to replace the existing machinery directive 98/37/EC, and no buffer during the transition period.
According to official documents, it is only after December 29th that a statement under the directive 2006/42/EC can be established.
There are many differences in the new directive, which will have a major impact on machinery manufacturers and distributors selling to the European union. The main changes of the new machinery directive 2006/42/EC:
The main differences between the new mechanical instruction 2006/42/EC and the old version of the mechanical instruction 98/37/EC are the scope of the instructions, the basic health and safety requirements, definitions and conformity assessment procedures and market oversight.
1, the new directive increase of semi-finished products, lifting accessories;
(a) machinery mechanical equipment;
(b) interchangeable equipment interchangeable equipment;
(c) safety components security components;
(d) lifting accessories Elevator accessories;
(E) chains, ropes and webbing chain, rope, wire mesh;
(f) removable mechanical transmission
The mechanical driving device of devices removable;
(g) partly completed machinery mechanical products mechanical device.
There are some technical differences between the 2, the new annex I of the directive with the old basic health and safety instructions, such as noise sound pressure value 80dB need to mark the sound power value;
3, the new directive adds more clear terms such as the definition of semi-finished products, manufacturers;
4, assessment procedures, new instruction in the use of "storage option" mode, receives only one mode of the following:
(a) the procedure for assessment of conformity with
Internal checks on the manufacture of machinery, provided for in Annex
VIII self proclaimed;
(b) the EC Type-examination procedure provided for in
Annex IX, plus the internal checks on the manufacture of machinery provided for
In Annex VIII, point 3 EC type verification;
(c) the full quality assurance procedure provided for
In Annex X comprehensive quality assurance mode.
5, machinery directive 2006/42/EC (Annex in Appendix four
IV) in dangerous machinery products list was updated in 98/37/EC directive of 17 kinds of dangerous machinery increased to 23; at the same time for the 98/37/EC Annex IV part
The B part of the safety of mechanical components in 2006/42/EC (Annex alone to appendix five V is listed in the form of 5 original safety components added to the 17 category, controlled by updating directories and restricting access to the EU market.
6, the new directive requirements of semi-finished products into the market must meet the following requirements and accompany the semi-finished products until finished: provided
(a) the relevant technical documentation described in
Annex VII, part B is prepared compile technical documents in Appendix VII of B;
(b) assembly instructions described in Annex VI are
The prepared assembly instructions described in Annex VI;
(c) a declaration of incorporation described in Annex
II, Part 1, Section B has been drawn up declared.
7, strengthen the market supervision:
As the current illegal CE certificates or announcements too much, many of the mechanical products with CE logo did not meet the requirements of the relevant EU directives, the new version of mechanical instructions to strengthen market supervision. Either the EU or foreign manufacturers, manufacturing machinery manufacturers and exported to the EU, in order to facilitate the work of supervision and supervision mechanism of EU CE effectively, the provisions of the new machinery directive: in the manufacturer's declaration documents must have the name and contact address is responsible for the preparation of the whole set of authorized manufacturers TCF technical documents, and the person must is determined in the eu. (source: The
EC declaration of conformity must contain the following particulars: name and
Address of the person authorised to compile the technical file, who must be
Established, in, the, Community.)
That is to say, but the EU CE watchdog found CE certificate or declaration of the existence of false signs of mechanical products do not meet the relevant requirements of the EU Directive or mechanical products there is a safety accident, they can immediately in the EU is linked to the person in charge, the representatives of manufacturers and EU authorities handle relevant matters of CE certification.
