Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE
Directive 2006/42/EC of 17 May 2006 was adopted and implemented for Italy by Legislative Decree no. 17 of 27 January 2010 and entered into force throughout Europe on 29 December 2009. It defines the safety and public health requirements which machinery must meet before it is placed on the market.
In particular, the machines are checked in accordance with the procedures described in Article 12 and reported below:
-
if the machinery is included in the list of Annex IV of the Directive, the Manufacturer must apply to a Notified Body requesting the CE Certification of the machinery.
In this case, Vericert, as a Notified Body, will issue one of the following certifications: -
CE Certificate according to Annex IX – Type Certification
-
CE Certificate according to Annex X – Total Quality Assurance
-
if the machinery is not included in the list in Annex IV of the Directive, the Manufacturer applies the assessment procedure described in Annex VIII: it draws up the Technical File of the machinery (Annex VII part A) and ensures its compliance with the requirements of the Directive. In this case, the Manufacturer can contact a Notified Body requesting a voluntary verification of the conformity of its product
