This book describes the prerequisites for the placing on the market and the safe use of machinery in compliance with the relevant EU Directives, especially the Machinery Directive 2006/42. It provides readers with high-level knowledge concerning the Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSR) that machinery must fulfill. The approach and principles of the Machinery Directive were most recently made worldwide acknowledged in the ILO code of practice on safe machinery, released in 2013. The book addresses that code, as well as providing valuable insight into other EU Product and Workplace legislation. Focusing on the key aspect of safe machinery, the “machinery safety risk assessment”, which allows readers to better understand the more difficult aspects of risk assessments, the book equips readers to tackle problems at the manufacturing stage and in different use scenarios, introducing them to risk reduction techniques and functional safety aspects.

An easy-to-use introductory guide for industry and gov¿t. officials on the principles and concepts behind the European Union¿s (EU) ¿New Approach¿ laws and directives. Will help bus. and gov¿t. officials understand the new laws, the EU¿s standardization process, and the relationships between the European Comm. and the European standardization bodies in the EU. Also provides info. on the EU¿s approach to conformity assessment and requirements for obtaining the CE mark to gain access to the European Market. Offers explanations of such requirements as: notified bodies, conformity assessment modules, supplier¿s declaration of conformity, tech. construction files, user manuals, authorized rep., and product liability in the EU. Charts and tables.

This book is essential reading for electronic consumer-product manufacturers doing business in the European marketplace. Compliance with directives and procedures can be a complex and confusing process, resulting in wasted money and effort. With the help of the CE Marking Handbook, engineers and managers can more easily identify which rules apply to them and pinpoint what they need to do to comply. Dave Lohbeck was formerly the Manager for Seminars and Training at TUV Rhineland, the largest German testing and certification agency. He has worked for many years as an engineer, including nine years in the field of European safety and EMC compliance.A once complicated topic is made clear as the author addresses the confusion surrounding CE Marking. Lohbeck offers guidance on both legal and design issues. This book includes a step-by-step design guide aimed at both novice and experienced exporters. With its help, engineers and managers can easily identify which rules apply to their products and pinpoint what they need to do to comply. The information presented here is backed up with facts and examples. Many have been misled, unfortunately, but this book presents the real meaning of CE Marking. Shows design engineers how to comply with CE requirements for product conformityExplains legal and technical issues concisely and logicallyPresents and illuminates US and EU differences

This book is about the CE Marking of Machinery. The CE Mark is the visible declaration on a machine indicating that it complies with the Essential Requirements of the European Directives. This book has been written to help managers and engineers to be able to CE Mark their machines in preparation for sale in the EU. The process of CE Marking of machinery is a logical process that this book aims to make clear and practical using plain English whilst meeting the requirements of the Machinery Directive.

This new volume gives you a clear understanding of the requirements imposed by the Machinery Directive. Under this directive's regulations, all machinery designed for free trade must satisfy certain requirements of the European Economic Area with regard to safety. Along with the text of the Machinery Directive, you get a step-by-step explanation of the certification procedure. You are guided along the process by the book's easy-to-understand text, practical examples, and well organized diagrams and drawings. CE Marking for Machinery Directive also provides an overview of the European harmonized standards, which are applicable to the Machinery Directive.
