摘要

The new Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC came into force on the 29th December 2009. While machine builders must deal primarily with the sections on 'scope' and 'conformity assessment', the main challenge for end users lies in the issue of upgrading or interlinking machinery. Here, it is vital to ensure that the upgraded machine complies with the current legislation, i.e. that the relevant conformity assessment procedures have been carried out, says Stewart Robinson, Consultant Engineer at Pilz Automation Technology.
