Industrial equipments manufactured or imported in Europe must respect European product Directives. The main Directive that governs the safety of industrial equipment is the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC according to which the CE marking can be affixed. The manufacturer must design the machinery in compliance with the technical safety requirements of the applicable Directives and provide appropriate documentation to demonstrate CE conformity; specifically, it must produce:
- Technical file to demonstrate the conformity of the machinery with the essential safety requirements and conformity assessment procedures required by the applicable Directive
- CE Declaration of Conformity
