Non-compliance guides

摘要

The committee for european construction Equipment (CECE) has highlighted the continuing problem of non-compliant construction equipment being sold in the EU. The trade association launched a series of simple guides at the Bauma exhibition to help enforcement authorities and buyers identify rogue machines.rnAccording to Thomas Lyckvall, chairman of CECE's trade policy commission, the issue of non-conformity poses serious safety hazards to construction workers, as well as putting manufacturers of legitimate equipment at an unfair disadvantage. "About 75% of research and development spend goes on meeting compliance requirements. How can we fund this if non-compliant machines can easily be sold in Europe?" he said.
