Warning on machine standards
July 1st 2010 Many machine manufacturers may
be inadvertently relying on out-ofdate
standards to demonstrate
compliance with the Machinery
Directive, warns Laidler Associates.
Only standards harmonised with
the current Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC, which came into force
at the end of December 2009, can
now be used to demonstrate
compliance.Many companies,
however, are continuing to reference
superseded standards that were
harmonised with the previous, and
now obsolete,Machinery Directive.
Laidler has devoted a lot of time
and effort to researching and keeping
up-to-date with developments
relating to EU Directives and
standards. Its expertise is at the
disposal of its clients. The company
believes its fees are small compared
with the potential costs associated
with non-compliance. More articles from Laidler Associates: |
