Do I need to worry about Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC ?
Posted by lee from cleveland, OH, US on August 27, 2009
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC goes into effect pretty soon. I understand changes span many new sections from User Documentation and regulations for guards to Risk Assessment requirements. How different is this from from the old regulations? If the product you make already has a CE mark, does it have to be requalified with these new regulations?
This is a European mandate. I know very little about it, but if you perform a Web search you will find a great deal of information about it and sources of information that should directly address your questions. I just checked the Web, and you should find everything you need there.
Sorry that I cannot more directly address your questions.
