17 Machinery Directive Jo Boullart Machinery Directive > Title > The new Machinery Directive, 2006/42/EC, is not fundamentally different from the old directive, 98/37/EC. > It is meant to clarify definitions and lay clear boundaries with regard to other Directives. > The Machinery Directive is not the principal reason for various new standards or for adaptations to standards. These changes come about to comply with current product requirements

18 Machinery Directive > Scope a) machinery b) interchangeable equipment c) safety components d) lifting accessories e) chains, ropes and webbing f) removable mechanical transmission devices a) to f): Machinery g) partly completed machinery 35 Machinery Directive > Explanations > Definition of machinery > Demarcation with the LVD > Demarcation with the Lifts Directive > Relationship with other directives 36 18

19 Clarification of the definition of machinery > An assembly > fitted with or intended to be fitted with a drive system > other than directly applied human or animal effort > consisting of linked parts or components, at least one of which moves > joined together for a specific application > An assembly referred to in the first indent, missing only the components to connect it on site or to sources of energy and motion; > An assembly referred to in the first and second indents, ready to be installed and able to function as it stands only if mounted on a means of transport, or installed in a building or a structure; > Assemblies of machinery referred to in the first, second and third indents or partly completed machinery referred to in point (g) which, in order to achieve the same end, are arranged and controlled so that they function as an integral whole; > An assembly of linked parts or components, at least one of which moves and which are joined together, intended for lifting loads and whose only power source is directly applied human effort. 37 Clear demarcation with the Low Voltage Directive > Current Machinery Directive: if the risks are primarily of an electrical nature, the machinery will fall exclusively within the scope of the Low Voltage Directive, 73/23/EEC. > New Machinery Directive: demarcation based on the type of product: The new Machinery Directive does NOT apply to the following product categories: > Electrical and electronic products falling within the scope of Directive 73/23/EEC (amendment 2006/95/EC) on the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits: household appliances intended for domestic use; audio and video equipment; information technology equipment; ordinary office machinery; low-voltage switchgear and control gear; electric motors. > the following types of high-voltage electrical equipment: switch gear and control gear; transformers

20 Clear demarcation with the Low Voltage Directive Important! > The Low Voltage Directive applies as from 50 V AC but, for example, 24-V machinery with an integrated 230-V transformer falls under the definitions of the Low Voltage Directive. 39 Machinery Directive > Relationship with other Directives > Where, for machinery, the hazards referred to in Annex I are wholly or partly covered more specifically by other Community Directives, this Directive shall not apply, or shall cease to apply, to that machinery in respect of such hazards from the date of implementation of those other Directives. > Important! All documentation and administrative matters must still be dealt with as per the provisions of the Machinery Directive. > Example: Noise Emission Directive 2000/14/EC 40 20

21 Machinery Directive > Essential requirements > The Machinery Directive defines only the essential health and safety requirements of general application, supplemented by a number of more specific requirements for certain categories of machinery. The essential health and safety requirements are grouped together based on the risks which they address (Annex 1). > The manufacturer of machinery must ensure that a risk assessment is carried out in order to determine the risks which apply to the machinery. The machinery must then be designed and constructed taking into account the results of the risk assessment. 41 Machinery Directive > Objectives > Obtain an acceptable level of residual risk > To achieve this, it makes sense to use harmonised standards which ensure a greater presumption of conformity. > Residual risks are principally covered by the Use of Work Equipment Directive

22 Legal cover for the risks Machinery Directive:... compulsory risk assessment Manufacturer, placing on the market Law on well-being at work (Codex):... dynamic risk assessment system (quality of the work, well-being of the employee) Employer, use on the shop floor Use of Work Equipment Directive:... take account of the residual risks 43 Machinery Directive > Clarified or new definitions > placing on the market : making available for the first time in the Community machinery or partly completed machinery with a view to distribution or use, whether for reward or free of charge. > putting into service : the first use, for its intended purpose, in the Community, of machinery covered by this Directive

23 Technical construction file: for internal use (covers you in case of an accident) > The limits of your machinery (as per ISO ); > Standards and the risks they cover; > Instruction manual; > Technical file: > completed checklist with assessed risk, > discussion of risks related to the limits, > assessments of uncovered risks, > design plans, ( It [the technical file] must cover the design, manufacture and operation of the machinery to the extent necessary for this assessment ) > Copy of the EC declaration of conformity for this machinery and for machinery incorporated into this machinery; > The declaration of incorporation for included partly completed machinery and the relevant assembly instructions for such machinery; > Must be drafted in one or more official Community languages; > The requirements for a technical file for partly completed machinery are to a great extent comparable with those for complete machinery. 45 Harmonized standards Type A Basic safety Standards Safety of machines; ISO ISO Principles for risk assesement: ISO ISO Type B1 Group safety standards Higher-level safety aspects Type B2 Standards Generally handled safety-related devices Positioning Safetyrelevanances against equipment machine Safety clear- Electrical Safety Of protective equipment to parts of accessing dangerous locations machines vices with and of latching de- approach speed control of human body systems with the upper without limbs tumbler priso13855 (EN999) EN ISO13857 EN60204 EN1088 Two-hand circuit Emergency switching-off device, functional Light barriers aspects, design guidelines EN574 ISO13850 IEC61496 Type C Standards - Specialist standards Specific requirements on specific machines Elevators EN 81-1 Food preparation machines pren Woodworking machines Presses + shears EN692 EN1870 EN693 Printing and paper machines EN Injection molding machines EN201 Cable railways EN1709 etc

Where the full quality assurance procedure has been applied, the CE marking must be followed by the identification number of the notified body

29 Conformity assessment procedure The instructions: new items With regard to the language of the instructions, a distinction will now be made between: > Original instructions : this indication applies to all the language version(s) of the instructions verified by the manufacturer or his authorised representative (and it appears on these versions); > Translation of the original instructions : this indication applies for all other translations (provided by the manufacturer or his authorised representative or by the person bringing the machinery into the language area in question). All machinery must be accompanied by: > either original instructions in the official Community language or languages of the Member State in which it is placed on the market and/or put into service; > or with original instructions in another language, in which case these must be accompanied by a translation of the original instructions in the official Community language or languages of the Member State in which it is placed on the market and/or put into service. 57 Conformity assessment procedure The instructions: new items > New provision: The contents of the instructions must cover not only the intended use of the machinery but also take into account any reasonably foreseeable misuse thereof. > The list describing the contents of the instructions has been restructured and broadened with the explicit mentioning of a number of additional points such as: > the business name and full address of the manufacturer, designation of the machinery, copy of the declaration of conformity (not necessarily including the serial number and the signature), a general description of the machinery, etc.; > information about the residual risks, on the protective measures to be taken (including Personal Protective Equipment), the operating method to be followed so as to enable the equipment to be safely unblocked, etc.; > instructions designed to enable adjustment and maintenance to be carried out safely; > the specifications of the spare parts to be used; > etc

30 Conformity assessment procedure The instructions: new items > New provisions regarding noise > Whenever sound emission values are indicated the uncertainties surrounding these values must be specified. > Where specific Community Directives lay down other requirements for the measurement of sound pressure levels or sound power levels, those Directives must be applied and the corresponding provisions of this section shall not apply. 59 Conformity assessment procedure Partly completed machinery: current Directive > Obligation for the final manufacturer to apply the Machinery Directive to the final machinery, so also to the partly completed machinery described in Annex II, B. > The final manufacturer bears all the risk! > How can we solve this problem? Requirements can only be set out contractually For example: > Require that the subcontractor create files; > Hold these files yourself; > Inspect these files on the subcontractor s premises. > Require that the subcontractor carry out a risk assessment; > Include a contractual obligation stating that if problems occur, the subcontractor will make available all calculation notes etc

31 Conformity assessment procedure Partly completed machinery: new Directive > The manufacturer of the partly completed machine must cover his responsibility (procedure set out in Article 13). > Article 13 Procedure for partly completed machinery > The manufacturer must prepare: a) the relevant technical documentation as described in Annex VII, part B (this documentation is comparable to that for normal machinery, but there are no instructions to be included, only a copy of the assembly instructions); b) The assembly instructions as described in Annex VI ( contain a description of the conditions which must be met with a view to correct incorporation in the final machinery, so as not to compromise safety and health. ); c) A declaration of incorporation as described in Annex II, section 1(B); basis is still prohibited to use until an EC declaration of conformity is available for the final machinery ; Indicate which essential requirements of this Directive have been applied and fulfilled. > The assembly instructions and the declaration of incorporation shall accompany the partly completed machinery until it is incorporated into the final machinery and shall then form part of the technical file for that machinery. 61 TIPS: language for the instructions > Consumer product : language spoken in the consumer s area, work equipment : language of the operator. > There must be a physical set of instructions on CD-ROM or on paper. > The Use of Work Equipment Directive clearly states that a set of instructions must be available on paper and that this is the employer s responsibility! > In addition to providing instructions on paper in the language of the operator, the following is also allowed: > either a CD-ROM with at least one version in one original language; > or a link to a website for download. > The party responsible for carrying out the translation can be agreed upon contractually

32 TIPS: compulsory delivery of spare parts > There are no special laws in Europe which make it obligatory to offer spare parts. > For consumer goods, Directive 1999/44/EC does state that a two-year guarantee must be associated with the product. In other words, this means that the manufacturer can keep a stock of spare parts to repair a product, but he can also offer an equivalent product. > It is possible to make contractual agreements regarding the delivery of spare parts during the normal lifetime of a product. 63 TIPS: keeping the technical construction file > Minimum of 13 years > The European Product Liability Directive provides for a 10-year period after the sale of the last product, after which liability expires. > Legal action can extend this period by three years

33 TIPS: liability for importers > In Belgium, importers are also liable and they must submit the technical construction file if this is requested by the government! > Generally speaking, only the risk analysis is requested. > A new European Regulation clarifies the liability issues affecting importers. 65 Machinery Directive > Standardisation > > st.html 66 33
