CE Compliance & the EU Machinery Directive for mill drill machines
CE Marking is mandatory for mill drill machines sold in the EU. It is not enough to simply put a CE mark on your mill drill machine, however, because the mark comes with the duty to conform to the appropriate machinery directive standards. For this reason all mill drill machines sold in the EU need to have a certificate of conformance with EU regulations. This is a document that states how the machine conforms to the EU regulations for this category of equipment, including safety standards and requirements.
CE marking of mill drill machines is focused on safety
Mill drill machines come under the category of metalworking milling machines in the EU standards, and are required to have the correct CE marking and also the features that are compulsory to comply with the EU machinery directive. The focus of the EU machinery directive for metalworking milling machines is on the safety of mill drill machines, and protection of operators from harm.
EN safety standards make it easy for EU inspectors to verify compliance
The safety features required for CE conformity with the machinery directive are all supported and defined by associated EN safety standards, which makes it easy for EU inspectors to identify omissions, faults or failures to meet the requirements for CE marking. Let’s look at a summary of examples from the CE marking requirements and associated standards to see how this works in more detail.
EU machinery directive compliance for mill drill machine importers
This is a summary of the full requirements under the EU machinery directive for CE marking of mill drill machines that demonstrate compliance, and should not be used as a definitive guide. For full details, refer to the CE guide to metalworking milling machines, which has more extensive information.
- CE marking is affixed to the machine in a visible and permanent manner.
- Full business information & individual machine identification numbers are included
- The mill drill machine is equipped with an emergency stop
- Manual handwheels must be designed for safety to avoid crushing
- Adjustment wrenches must automatically eject
- Safety guards must be installed for all working, tool and chip collection zones
- Guards need to be compliant with EN 12417 / EN 13218
- Power transmission belts, gears, & pulleys must be guarded
- An electrical isolation device should be fitted that meets the EN 60204-1 5.3 standard
- Metalworking fluids should be contained to avoid leakage
- User access to the machine should be designed to be safe
- Mill drill machines must be supplied with an instruction manual
- Manuals must include noise safety information
- The mill drill machine must be designed for safe transport
The CE standards are not excessively difficult to meet, but it is essential to pay attention to the details to ensure that your mill drill machine will pass inspection and can be sold without liability into EU markets. When CE conformity refers to EN safety standards, it is essential that the mill drill manufacturer checks and ensures that these secondary standards are also met by their mill drill design and features.
