Declarations
Draft Declaration of Incorporation for Machinery This Declaration of Incorporation is a template for you to fill in, allowing you to produce your own Declarations for partly completed machinery to the requirements specified in the Machinery Directive. This product also contains informative notes regarding the Declaration and how to complete it for your products.
Declarations of Incorporation are required for machines that fall within the scope of the Machinery Directive but are supplied as sub-assemblies of other bigger machines and cannot be considered as safe when delivered by the manufacturer. The Declaration of Incorporation is a document signed by the manufacturer that identifies which aspects of the equipment they are taking responsibility for, by declaring the Essential Requirements which have been fulfilled by them.
Draft Declaration of Incorporation for Machinery and Declaration of Conformity for EMC This product is a combined Declaration of Incorporation for machinery and Declaration of Conformity for the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive, complete with notes on how to complete it for your products.
This product is necessary when the machinery requiring the Declaration of Incorporation also contains electrical equipment (for example a motor or control system) within the scope of the EMC Directive.
Draft Declaration of Conformity for Machinery and EMC This Declaration of Incorporation is a template for you to fill in, allowing you to produce your own Declarations for partly completed machinery to the requirements specified in the Machinery Directive. This product also contains informative notes regarding the Declaration and how to complete it for your products.

Draft Declaration of Conformity for Machinery, EMC and Noise Emissions This product is a draft Declaration for machinery which is also within the scope of the EMC and the Noise Emissions of Outdoor Equipment Directive, 2000/14/EC.
This Declaration will be useful for any manufacturer or importer selling machinery which is one of the listed in the Noise Emissions Directive.
Machinery Directive Technical File checklist - 10d0206 This downloadable document is a checklist for the Technical File required for products covered by the Machinery Directive. It should be used to ensure that you have included all necessary documents, drawings and information in your Technical File, as specified in the Machinery Directive.
A complete Technical File is an obligation of the Machinery Directive, though it does not have to be in constant existence - if the file is requested by an appropriate authority a period of grace is given for the file to be assembled and delivered. However, in practice it is more sensible to create the file early in the life of the product and ensure it is kept up to date.
Further details of the Technical File requirement and its contents can be found on our Technical File webpage.
Machinery Directive EHSRs checklist - 10d0207 This product contains a checklist to record your assessment of compliance with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements of the Machinery Directive. It also contains notes on how to complete the checklist and where it fits into the CE marking process.
The crux of the CE marking process is meeting the EHSRs of any applicable Directives and having the correct documentation to demonstrate this in the Technical File. This checklist details the EHSRs of the Machinery Directive so you can see all the requirements you need to meet and keep a record what you have done to meet them. Once completed, this document forms a critical part of the Technical File.
As well as detailing the basic EHSRs of the Directive, this checklist also contains significant references to the core general standards of the Machinery Directive and the specific clauses you need to consider for your machines. Conformance has spent many years using, developing and refining this document as the mainstay of our machinery assessments.
If you have technical grounds for not meeting any specific EHSR, you can also record your argument and any appropriate other measures undertaken in the relevant part of this checklist.
Machinery Directive supplementary Annex I EHSRs checklist - 10d0212 This product gives additional EHSRs for specific types of machinery listed in sections 2-6 of Annex I of the Machinery Directive. These machines include:
- foodstuffs machinery
- machinery for cosmetics or pharmaceutical products
- hand-held and/or hand-guided machinery
- portable fixing and other impact machinery
- machinery for working wood and material with similar physical characteristics
- machinery for the application of pesticides
- mobile machines
- machines for lifting functions,
- machinery intended for underground work
- machinery for lifting persons
This checklist and accompanying notes allow you to record the results of the extra hazard assessments, but you will also need the checklist to the EHSRs in section 1 of Annex I of the Machinery Directive (available separately) to complete your assessment.
Machinery Directive Preliminary Hazard Identification checklist - 10d0209 The Preliminary Hazard Identification checklist allows you to determine if your machines present any safety risks, based on the ISO 14121-1 standard for hazard identification.
It is a summary of the risk assessment results and should be completed at the start of a project and reviewed at the end, to ensure all identified hazards have been addressed.
This checklist, although comparatively brief, allows you to concisely review the hazards presented by your machines and gives you a clear overall view of the issues you need to concern yourself with during the product assessment. For a more detailed risk assessment checklist, you may consider our Machinery Risk Assessment Framework (see below).
Machinery Directive Risk Assessment Framework - 10d0210 The Machinery Risk Assessment Framework provides you with a structured approach to producing a risk assessment for machinery in accordance with BS EN ISO 14121-1:2007, a standard cited under the Machinery Directive.
This framework is intended to provide a generic risk assessment structure and to ensure the person performing the risk assessment considers all aspects appropriate to the machinery being considered. It is intended to provide a format within which a record of the risk assessment can be kept, and helps to ensure that the assessment is performed in the ways recommended by EN ISO 14121. Specific or complex machinery types may require further hazard identification and reduction methods.
This checklist is ideally to be used during the concept and development phase of a machine’s lifecycle, when it is easier to make necessary design changes. However, it can be used just as effectively on complete or near complete machinery, where additional risk reduction measures can be identified and implemented.
Training Courses
Introduction to CE marking machinery and industrial equipment(various dates) This course is intended to give participants a basic grounding in the structure and requirements for CE marking machines and industrial plant. It focuses on who is responsible and what they have to do, how to find and apply standards as well as the documentation that must be produced and kept. The course is a single full day and the price includes the takeaway information pack that accompanies it.
The new Machinery Directive(various dates) This course is for people who already know about CE marking under the Machinery Directive 98/37/EC but want to update their knowledge to ensure they know what they need to do to comply with the new Directive 2006/42/EC now it is in force. The course is a single full day and the price includes the takeaway information pack that accompanies it.
Machinery, CE marking, PUWER and site safety assessments(various dates) This course will help participants to understand the relationship between CE marking and PUWER. Participants will be given an understanding of how to do their own assessments and how to identify if their suppliers and contractors are properly fulfilling their legal and contractual obligations. The course is a single full day and the price includes the takeaway information pack that accompanies it.
