Check out the interview that Han Zuyderwijk of CEMarking.net and I did with Ian Fraser, former Policy Officer at the European Commission responsible for the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC), and Team Leader about questions related to the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).
During the interview, we discuss:
- the regulatory developments in the directive in the last ten years;
- the concept of the “person authorised to compile the technical documentation” and how it differs from the authorised representative;
- the integration of risk assessment into the EMC Directive and Low Voltage Directive;
- responsibilities for products placed in the market when
- the relevant directives are amended, and
- relevant standards are amended. What does that mean for the conformity assessment and the Declaration of Conformity;
- how the future amendments to the Medical Devices Regulation/Directive relates to the Machinery Directive;
- are electromagnetic compatibility aspects of machinery going to be reinforced in the Machinery Directive;
- whether there should be more regulations or certification of CE/Machine Safety consultants.
We briefly lost connection, and therefore the recording was interrupted for a short while. It pays off to join the live session 😉
Based on the feedback we’ve received, we are planning additional hangouts like this to discuss a wide variety of CE Marking related topics!
