Product Safety Professionals, Annex I, Section 1.7.3 of the Machinery Directive for Markings states, "Where a machine part must be handled during use with lifting equipment, its mass must be indicated legibly, indelibly and unambiguously." (91/68/EEC)
Questions: 1. Does 'handled during use' include maintenance and servicing? 2. Does 'with lifting equipment' mean only those parts which are intended to be lifted with lift assist device are required to be marked with weight? 3. Does anyone know of any standard (Occupational, Ergonomics or Product Safety) which requires weight to be marked on parts or whole equipment? I would really appreciate the standard title and number of the standard, section and direct verbage. Regards. Tin P.S. - This is a great forum!
