CE Marking for Machinery
European Directive for Machinery Safety - Directive 2006/42/EC
European machinery has been required to be CE marked since 1995, and the current Directive 2006/42/EC, sets out seven categories of equipment which are within scope:
- Machinery (Main definition: an assembly of linked parts, where at least one moves and is powered for a specific application)
- Interchangeable equipment
- Safety components
- Lifting accessories
- Chains, ropes and webbing (for lifting purposes)
- Removable mechanical transmissions devices
- Partly completed machinery
The Directive applies to machines that are new, but also applies to machines that have been built for own use, or where they have been modified or rebranded.
