European directives

Machinery Directive

2006/42/CE

The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC is a European Union law that defines the safety requirements for machines marketed in the European Union. This directive replaced the previous Machinery Directive 98/37/EC, in order to harmonize the rules on safety requirements for machinery at European level and to improve the protection of workers and consumers.

The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC applies to all machines, including machine parts, safety components, accessories and tools that are used with machines. The directive defines the safety requirements for machines and provides that machines marketed in the European Union must comply with these requirements.

In particular, the directive requires that machines marketed in the European Union must:

  • be designed and constructed in such a way as to guarantee the safety of workers and consumers;

  • be accompanied by a complete and clear user and maintenance manual, in the national language or another language of the European Union;

  • be subject to conformity checks by conformity assessment bodies, which verify that the machine complies with the safety requirements laid down by the directive;

  • bear the CE mark, which certifies that the machine complies with the safety requirements established by the directive.

The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC applies to all machines marketed in the European Union, including those manufactured within the European Union and those imported from third countries. The objective of the directive is to ensure the maximum possible safety for workers and consumers who use the machines, protecting their health and safety during work and use of the machines.

Low Voltage Directive

2014/35/EU

The Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU is a European Union law that defines safety requirements for electrical products that are intended for low voltage use. This directive replaced the previous Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, in order to harmonize the rules on safety requirements for electrical products at European level and to improve the protection of consumers and end users.

The Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU applies to all electrical products that are intended for low voltage use, i.e. voltages between 50 and 1000 volts in alternating current and between 75 and 1500 volts in direct current. The directive defines the safety requirements for these products and requires that electrical products marketed in the European Union must comply with these requirements.

In particular, the directive requires that electrical products marketed in the European Union must:

  • be designed and constructed to ensure the safety of consumers and end users;

  • be accompanied by a complete and clear user and maintenance manual, in the national language or another language of the European Union;

  • be subject to conformity checks by conformity assessment bodies, which verify that the product complies with the safety requirements laid down by the directive;

  • bear the CE mark, which certifies the conformity of the product to the safety requirements established by the directive.

The Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU applies to all electrical products intended for low voltage use marketed in the European Union, including those manufactured within the European Union and those imported from third countries. The objective of the directive is to ensure the maximum possible safety for consumers and end users who use electrical products, protecting their health and safety when using electrical products.

Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive

2014/30/EU

Describe the directive Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU

The Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU is a European Union law that defines the electromagnetic compatibility requirements for electronic products marketed in the European Union. The directive replaced the previous Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004/108/EC, in order to harmonize the rules on electromagnetic compatibility requirements for electronic products at European level and to improve consumer protection.

The Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU applies to all electronic products marketed in the European Union, including those produced within the European Union and those imported from third countries. The directive defines the electromagnetic compatibility requirements for these products and requires that electronic products marketed in the European Union must comply with these requirements.

In particular, the directive requires that electronic products marketed in the European Union must:

  • be designed and constructed to ensure electromagnetic compatibility with other electronic products on the market, in order to avoid electromagnetic interference and ensure safe and reliable operation of the product itself;

  • be accompanied by a complete and clear user and maintenance manual, in the national language or in another language of the European Union, which informs the user about the use of the product in a safe way and in compliance with the regulations on electromagnetic compatibility;

  • be subject to conformity checks by conformity assessment bodies, which verify that the product complies with the electromagnetic compatibility requirements set by the directive;

  • bear the CE mark, which certifies the conformity of the product to the electromagnetic compatibility requirements established by the directive.

The objective of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU is to guarantee the maximum possible safety for consumers and end users who use electronic products, protecting their health and safety during the use of electronic products and ensuring correct interaction between the various electronic products on the market.

Legislative Decree

80/2016

The harmonized standard EN ISO 12100 is a technical document drawn up by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and adopted by the European Union as a harmonized standard pursuant to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The standard provides detailed guidance for the risk assessment and design of machines, in order to ensure the safety of the workers who use them.

The EN ISO 12100 standard consists of two parts: the first part provides general guidelines for risk assessment and machine design, while the second part provides specific guidelines for the design of safe machines. The standard also provides a set of detailed risk assessment procedures that machine operators can follow to identify potential hazards and appropriate safety measures.

In particular, the EN ISO 12100 standard focuses on reducing the risks associated with machines, through the adoption of prevention and protection measures, in order to guarantee the safety of the personnel using the machines. The standard promotes the adoption of a safety-oriented design, in which the dangers are eliminated or reduced at the source through the design of the machine itself.

The harmonized standard EN ISO 12100 was developed to provide a standardized and consistent guide for the design of safe machines, in order to ensure that all machines placed on the market in the European Union comply with the safety requirements of the Machinery Directive. The adoption of the standard by companies that design and manufacture machines can therefore help improve the safety of the machines and of the workers who use them, as well as guaranteeing product compliance with European product safety regulations.
