COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 October 2006
not to publish the reference of standard EN 13683:2003 ‘Garden equipment - Integrally powered shredders/chippers - Safety’ in accordance with Directive 98/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document number C(2006) 5060)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/732/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 98/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to machinery (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Standing Committee established by Article 5 of Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society services (2),
Whereas:
(1)
Where a national standard transposing a harmonised standard, the reference of which has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, covers one or more essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex I to Directive 98/37/EC, the machine built in accordance with this standard is presumed to meet the essential requirements concerned.
(2)
Pursuant to Article 6(1) of Directive 98/37/EC, Germany lodged a formal objection in respect of standard EN 13683:2003, adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) on 8 September 2003, the reference of which has not yet been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(3)
Having examined standard EN 13683:2003, the Commission has established that it fails to meet essential health and safety requirements 1.1.2.(c) (principles of safety integration), 1.3.8 (choice of protection against risks related to moving parts) and 1.4.1 (general requirements for guards and protection devices) of Annex I to Directive 98/37/EC. First, the specifications set out in clauses 5.2.1.1 and 5.2.1.2 of the standard on preventing access to the cutting blade from the feed side and from above are not sufficient to avoid contact with the blade. It is possible to remove jammed cuttings whilst the appliance is running and for the hand to come into contact with the cutting blade in doing so. Second, the specifications set out in clause 5.2.2 of the standard on preventing access to the cutting blade from the discharge chute from below are not sufficient. The dimensions of the discharge chute are such that an adult hand could come into contact with the cutting blade.
(4)
The references of standard EN 13683:2003 should therefore not be published in the Official Journal of the European Union,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The references of standard EN 13683:2003 ‘Garden equipment - Integrally powered shredders/chippers - Safety’ shall not be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 6 August 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'B & H - Ultra Broadbandamplifier, model AC-3011' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/590/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 4 February 1982, the Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'B & H - Ultra Broadbandamplifier, model AC-3011', ordered on 6 December 1979 and to be used for the research into piezo profiles by means of wideband ultrasound excitation, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 16 July 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an amplifier; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as 'B & H - Ultra Broadbandamplifier, model AC-3011', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 4 February 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
