CE marking - nameplates comply with new Machinery Directive
Alpha Sign Nameplate & Decal Co can help machine builders to comply with the requirements of the new Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC relating to CE marking. The company manufactures machinery CE plates manufactured to customer designs - which customers can ensure meet the new specification.
Annex III of the new Machinery Directive states that the CE mark must be affixed in the immediate vicinity of the name of the manufacturer or his authorised representative, using the same technique. In addition, where the full quality assurance procedure referred to in Article 12(3)(c) and 12(4)(b) has been applied, the CE marking must be followed by the notified body's identification number.
Whereas machine builders may have previously CE marked machines by applying a CE label almost as the last action before shipping a machine, the new Directive effectively requires the CE mark to be integral within the maker's plate or rating plate. Of course, if machine builders have been doing this under the previous regime, then Alpha Sign Nameplate & Decal Co will be pleased to provide a competitive quote.
