Bleve, In essence, I agree with your comments re what "should" happen with regards to newly supplied machinery. However, there are many machines available, either new or second hand, that "may" have the CE mark, but that still doesnt mean that they are safe! There are machines that have been adapted for a different use (which nullifies the technical file, CE mark etc) that are still safe. There are machines out there that have been built by the individuals for their own use, that have never been CE marked or had a technical file, and are safe. Any machinery could be sourced, modified, adapted regardless of the CE mark, BUT (where we agree, I think) should not be used unless "safe" in accordance with the directive and relevant British Standard. To sell (or make available for sale) within the EU, then the tech file, CE mark is required, however, that still doesnt make it "safe". Ultimately, any breach, claim or prosecution would be determined by whether the machine was "safe" and conforming, not if it had the Tech file, CE mark etc. I stand by my original comment that the CE mark doesnt make it safe, thats down to the end user to determine, only that it has been built to a standard. So, whether it has a CE mark or not, the overiding duty is to ensure it is safe to use? Not misleading in my view? Holmezy

Hi all. As a manufacturing company we have a tool room that occasionally manufacture dedicated machines for use in our assembly areas. My question is what assessments do these machines need when they are not going on the open market, they are for in house use only? For example - a fully automated drilling and cutting machine has recently been made. This machine takes a component, cuts it to length and drill required holes. It only does one size of component, it is fully enclosed, has interlocks on all access doors and has perspex windows. The only aperture is where the component is fed into the machine, guarding at this aperture makes it impossible to reach any moving parts. All sourced components used in its construction were individually CE marked but the whole machine is not. I have done a PUWER assessment and was involved from the very start of its design. I would really appreciate your thoughts on this? Regards Gazbut
