(a) the procedure for assessment of conformity with internal checks on the manufacture of machinery, provided for in Annex VIII 自我宣告;
(b) the EC type-examination procedure provided for in Annex IX, plus the internal checks on the manufacture of machinery provided for in Annex VIII, point 3 EC 型式檢驗;
(c) the full quality assurance procedure provided for in Annex X 全面質量保證模試.
5、機械指令2006/42/EC對於附錄四(Annex IV)中危險機械的產品清單進行了更新,在98/37/EC指令中17種危險機械的基礎上增加到23種;同時對於98/37/EC Annex IV part B部分的安全機械部件,在2006/42/EC中單獨以附錄五(Annex V)的形式列出,由原來的5個安全部件增加到17類產品,通過更新目錄及限制進入歐盟市場進行控制。
6、新指令要求半成品投入市場需達到以下要求並隨同半成品一起提供直到成品完成:
(a) the relevant technical documentation described in Annex VII, part B is prepared 編制附錄VII B的技術檔案;
(b) assembly instructions described in Annex VI are prepared 附錄VI描述的裝配說明書;
(c) a declaration of incorporation described in Annex II, part 1, Section B has been drawn up 宣告.
7、加強了市場監督力度:
由於不合法的CE證書或宣告太多,許多帶有CE標誌的機械產品並沒有達到相關歐盟指令的要求,新版機械指令加強市場監督力度。不論是歐盟各國的製造商,還是外國所製造而銷往歐盟境內的機械製造商,為了方便歐盟CE監督機構的監督工作有效進行,新版機械指令規定:在製造商的宣告檔案中必須要有製造商授權編制整套TCF技術檔案的負責人名稱及聯絡地址,並且此人必須被確定在歐盟境內。(原文:The EC declaration of conformity must contain the following particulars: name and address of the person authorised to compile the technical file, who must be established in the Community。) 也就是說,一但歐盟CE監督機構發現CE證書或宣告存在虛假跡象,機械產品沒有達到相關歐盟指令的要求或機械產品出現了安全事故時,他們能夠立即在歐盟境內聯繫到此負責人,此人代表製造商與歐盟當局處理CE相關事宜。
Directive 2006/42/EC was published on 9th June 2006. It came into force 20 days later on 29th June 2006. The Member States have until 29th June 2008 to adopt and publish the national laws and regulations transposing the provisions of the new Directive into national law.
The provisions of the new Directive become applicable on 29th December 2009. Until that date, the provisions of the current Machinery Directive 98/37/EC continue to apply.
