The Machinery Directive was created to harmonize the requirements of Machinery Safety in the European Community, moving from many individual country requirements to one set of requirements for the entire European Union. The purpose of this standard is to provide guidance for the safety of machinery and the type of documentation required in verifying a risk assessment. In addition, EN 1050 also describes procedures for identifying hazards, estimating and evaluating risk. Risk assessment is a series of logical steps in conducting the examination of the hazards associated with machinery.
Risk assessment is followed, whenever necessary, by risk reduction.
And risk evaluation. Risk analysis provides information required for the risk evaluation, which allows an evaluation to be made on the safety of machinery. The CE Mark must be applied to all products sold in the European Union to demonstrate the product is safe and meets the essential requirements of the directives. NRTL Mark T V Product Service has joined together with Entela to provide customers the NRTL field label for machinery. This partnership allows T V to provide complete testing for machinery products to meet both U.S. and European regulations all at one time.
