MACHINE MANUFACTURERS SUPPORT THROUGH TO THE CE MARKING Machines in Europe must comply with the safety requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC before they can be sold in the European Economic Area. The Directive governs a uniform protection level for avoiding accidents on machines. The CE marking process comprises many individual steps. Each of them requires the well-founded understanding of applicable regulations and the extensive experience in dealing with machines and installations that we can offer as safety experts. Our service: CE marking as a complete package We support you in each...

Our services We support you in all phases through to the CE marking The individual steps of the conformity assessment process: Risk assessment We first determine the harmonized standards and legal foundation applicable to the machine concerned. We define the machine functions and identify and assess potential danger zones in the risk analysis and risk assessment. The risk assessment fully documents the risks and the required Performance Level for you. afety concept S The next step after the risk assessment is designing the machine to be safe. We develop a detailed machinery safety concept for...

MACHINE MANUFACTURERS RISK ASSESSMENT All manufacturers must perform and document a risk assessment for their machines. This risk assessment is a complete, systematic assessment of all machine hazards. It makes economic sense to perform the risk assessment as early as the engineering phase. Our safety experts assess the risks in close cooperation with you. Systematic process according to EN ISO 12100 Risk assessment involves several steps to determine and assess all hazards posed by a machine. EN ISO 12100 defines the exact sequence and the assessment criteria. The first step is to describe the...

SAFETY CONCEPT The next step after determining a machine’s danger zones in a risk assessment is to create an intelligent safety concept. The objective here is to define specific measures for each danger zone to reduce the risk to an acceptable minimum. The individual risk reduction measures are shown based on a machine overview. We work closely with you to develop the technically and economically ideal safety concept. We are committed to neutrality in selecting the safeguards for this purpose. Benefits for you You get a technically optimized safety concept tailored to your requirements. Professional...

MACHINE MANUFACTURERS VERIFICATION It must be verified whether the safety functions planned for the machine achieve the required safety level. EUCHER uses the manufacturer-independent SISTEMA software from the Institut für Arbeitsschutz (IFA) for this purpose. The SISTEMA calculation can quickly and reliably determine whether the planned safety measures comply with the requirements of the EN ISO 13849-1 standard. Our experts are well versed in using this software. Benefits for you Y ou receive a reliable evaluation of whether the planned safety measures comply with the requirements of the EN...

VALIDATION Validation is a decisive step in the conformity assessment process. It is used to check whether the fully equipped machine is safe and the specifications of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC are met. This final check ends with verification that your machine complies with all safety provisions. Our experienced machinery safety experts guarantee an efficient and neutral safety assessment. The machine safety check is preceded by validation planning, during which we consider every danger zone from the risk assessment along with the safeguard implemented for it. Our experts develop a suitable...
